NSTALLATION

1. Select the site – Choose a location for your Wireless AP.

Usually, the best location is at the center of your wireless
coverage area, if possible within line-of-sight of all wireless
devices.

2. Place the Wireless AP in a position that gives it maximum

coverage. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the
better the performance.

3. If used in Client Bridge mode, connect the Ethernet cable to

the RJ-45 socket of the device that will communicate over a
wireless connection with an access point.

4. If used in Access Point mode, connect the SMCWEBT-G to an

Ethernet network device such as a hub or a switch using
category 3, 4, or 5 UTP Ethernet cable and an RJ-45
connector.

5. Connect the power adapter cable to the 5 VDC power socket

on the rear panel.

Warning: Use only the power adapter supplied with the

SMCWEBT-G.
