POSITIONING YOUR ROUTER
When positioning your Router, ensure:
•
The unit is centrally located to the wireless computers that will connect to the Router. A suitable
location might be on top of a high shelf or similar furniture to optimize wireless connections to
computers in both horizontal and vertical directions, allowing coverage throughout.
•
In order to meet FCC radiation exposure regulations the Router should be located in a position that
maintains a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) from any personnel (refer to the User Guide for
details).
•
It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
•
Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of electrical noise such as
radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
•
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
•
Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. We recommend
you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance.
1. INSTALLING YOUR ROUTER
1.
Connect the power adapter to the Router and wait for the Alert LED to stop flashing.
2.
Ensure that your modem and computer are both switched on.
3.
Insert one end of the supplied Ethernet (RJ-45 Category 5) cable into the Cable/DSL port on the rear
panel of the Router.
4.
Insert the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port on your cable or DSL modem. Check that the
Cable/DSL status LED lights on the Router.
5.
Connect the cable or DSL modem to the Internet.
6.
Connect your computer to one of the four LAN ports on the Router using an Ethernet cable. Check
that the corresponding LAN status LED on the Router lights.
To share your Router with more than four users you will need an additional Switch. Connect a LAN port of
your Router to the Switch, e.g. 3Com Switch 8 (3CFSU08).
