following:
Power/Test. The Power/Test
light blinks when the WNAP320
is first turned on. After a few seconds it should stay lit (steady green). If

for 100Mbps, and no light for 10Mbps.
WLAN. The 2.4 GHz wireless indicator should be lit or blinking.

address) on the DHCP server. You can then always use that address to
login to the access point.
f. Select Configuration > Wireless > Basic > Wireless Settings from the
menu and configure the wireless interface for wireless access. Check the
Turn Radio On setting.
g. Select Configuration > Security > Profile Settings from the menu and
configure Security Profiles for your network.
h. See the online help or the Reference Manual for full instructions. (A link to
the online Reference Manual is on your Resource CD.)
3. Test Wireless Connectivity
Using a PC with a wireless adapter verify that you can establish a wireless
connection to the WNAP320.
Now that you have finished the setup, you are ready to deploy the WNAP320 in
your network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1
back to its original TCP/IP settings.
Now, Deploy the WNAP320
1. Disconnect the WNAP320 and position it where you will deploy it. The best
location is elevated such as wall or ceiling mounted, at the center of your
wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your WNAP320 Access Point to a LAN port on
your router, switch, or hub.
3. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power
adapter in to a power outlet. The Power/Test and LAN LEDs should light up.
Tip: The WNAP320 supports Power Over Ethernet (PoE). If you have
a switch that provides PoE, you will not need to use the power adapter
to power the WNAP320. This can be especially convenient when the
WNAP320 is installed in a high location far away from a power outlet.
