Wireless Basics 2: How to set it up

The following is for a very basic, portable setup. To ensure a robust installation, you need to have the Access Points mounted on the wall at above head height. Cables can then be neatly dressed into trunking. In a proper installation, we would use Power over Ethernet adapters so you wouldn't need to plug the Access Points into the mains

How to set it up:

• Take the Access Point out of its box and connect it to the mains (if necessary) and a network point
• Take the Driver disc (or CD) for the Network Adapter and put it into the computer.
• Accept all the default settings the setup software offers.
• Take a Network Adapter out of its box and connect it to a computer.
• Restart the machine when asked.
• From here on you just set up the machine as you normally would to connect to your existing network.
