Location of
the
access point
Before making any hardware connections, find a
suitable location
to
place the access point. The best
spot is usually
at
the center of the wireless network,
with unobstructed line-of-sight
to
all
wireless clients
operating
in
the coverage area.
Also consider
that
the higher the antenna is placed, the
better the device can perform.
Do
not forget
to
make
sure
that
the structure
or
pole
you
use
to
install the
device is stable and properly secured.
1.
If setting
up
the
device
in
an indoor installation, use
the keyholes
on
the brackets
to
mark
the location
on
the wall where the access point is
to
be
mounted.
2.
Drill the holes and then drive the supplied anchors
[if required] and screws into the wall .
Leave
the head
of the screw slighgtly above the surface
to
hang the
access point from the keyholes
on
the back.

Proceed
to
configure
the
basic wireless parameters
including
SSID,
channel and security.
• SSID:
enter
a unique name
to
identify your
wireless network. However, choose one
that
is
easily remembered
by
network users.
In
this
example, we are using Nexxt_XXXXXX as
the
SSID
identifier [whereby
the
"X" represents
the
last six
digits of the access point's MAC address).
•Channel:
for
optimal wireless performance, use the
Auto default setting
to
let
the
device automatically
scan a channel with
the
least interference
for
your wireless network
to
operate on,
or
you
may manually select
an
unused channel
from
the
drop-down list.
•Security
mode (encryption algorithm): this option
is disabled
by
default with no password assigned.
However, we recommend selecting
WPA/WPA2-
PSK and entering a passkey
in
order
to
properly
secure your network.
5.Click
Next
to
configure
the
wireless settings
for
the
device. The device MUST operate
on
the same chan-
nel as
the
uplink AP
for
successful implementation of
the
feature.
6.Click
on
Complete
to
exit the Quick Setup wizard and
reboot
the
access point.

initialization process is complete, changes will take
effect and the device will be ready
to
operate

mode.
8. Remove the LAN cable
from
your computer and the
PoE
module. Now, insert your internet cable into the
port
labeled
LAN
located
in
the
PoE
device.
Note:
at
this point
you
need
to
