Installing the ME101

This section provides instructions for connecting the ME101 802.11b Wireless Ethernet Bridge

to one or more Ethernet-enabled devices using the default settings.

Note: If you find that the default settings don’t work, if you know that you’ve configured your

wireless network with WEP security, if you are using multiple ME101 bridges, or if you are not

in the United States, you’ll have to configure the bridge before connecting it to the Ethernet-

enabled device. To configure the bridge, see Configuring Your ME101 on page 7.

1. Unpack the box and verify the contents.

2. Identify a flat surface where you will put the wireless bridge. For best results, follow

these guidelines:

• Place it away from potential sources of interference, such as computers, monitors,

TVs, microwaves, cordless phones, or large metal surfaces.

Warning: Failure to follow these guidelines can cause intermittent or complete failure

of wireless connectivity.

• Place it in an elevated location such as a high shelf or on a wall in the center of

your wireless access area.

3. Lift the bridge’s antenna so it is vertical.
