3. Hardware Installation
This section will guide you to install the AP through hardware / wall-mounting connection. For hardware connection, refer to the following steps to connect your devices correctly. 1. Connect VigorAP 905 to xDSL modem, router, or switch/hub in your network
through the LAN 1 port of the access point by Ethernet cable. You can also connect VigorAP 905 to a Vigor router via wireless connection. For detailed information, refer to VigorAP 905 User’s Guide. 2. Connect a computer to other available LAN port. Make sure the subnet IP address of the PC is the same as VigorAP 905 management IP, e.g., 192.168.1.X. 3. Connect the A/C power adapter to the wall socket, and then connect it to the PWR connector of the access point. 4. Power on VigorAP 905. 5. Check all LEDs on the front panel. The ACT LED on the front panel should blink; WAN/LAN LED on the back panel should be on if the access point is correctly connected to the xDSL modem, router or switch/hub.
4
For wall-mounting, refer to the following steps. 1. Drill two holes on the wall. The distance between the holes shall be 100mm.
The recommended drill diameter shall be 6mm (15/64″). 2. Fit screws into the wall using the appropriate type of screw plug. 3. Hang the VigorAP directly onto the screws.
