Then, Set Up the WNDAP330
1. Connect the wireless access point to your computer.
a. Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter. If this PC is already part of your network,
record its TCP/IP configuration settings. Configure the PC with a static IP
address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
b. Attach the three antennas to your
wireless access point. The
antennas are interchangeable and
can be attached in any
configuration.
c. Connect an Ethernet cable from
the WNDAP330 to the PC (point

d. Securely insert the other end of the
cable into the WNDAP330
Ethernet port (point B in the
illustration).
e. Connect the power adapter to the
WNDAP330 and verify the
following:
Power. The power light should be lit. If the power light is not lit, check the
connections and check to see if the power outlet is controlled by a wall
switch that is turned off.
Test. The test light blinks when the WNDAP330 is first turned on.
LAN. The LAN light on the WNDAP330 should be lit (no light for a 10
Mbps connection, amber for a 100 Mbps connection, and green for a 1000
Mbps connection). If not, make sure the Ethernet cable is securely attached
at both ends.
Wireless. The 802.11ng WLAN light should be lit.

3. Test Wireless Connectivity
Using a PC with a wireless adapter configured according to the wireless settings you
just set in the WNDAP330, establish a wireless connection to the WNDAP330.
Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WNDAP330
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 WNDAP330
1. Disconnect the WNDAP330 and position it where you will deploy it. The best
location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the center of
your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.
2. Position the antenna. Vertical positioning provides best side-to-side coverage.
Horizontal positioning provides best top-to-bottom coverage.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from your WNDAP330 Access Point to a LAN port on
your router, switch, or hub.
4. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter in
to a power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN lights should light up.
