Preparing Your Product

1. Connect your access point via ethernet cable (provided) to a PoE LAN port on your router or switch.
2. Adding to an existing wireless network? See the “Add to an existing wireless network” section below. If setting up a new nework the device will begin initial boot up. The LED will cycle through green, amber, and red. This is normal and can take up to 6 minutes. The device is not ready until the LED is consistently blinking green or solid green. Once this occurs you can proceed to “Get Configured”.

Add to an existing wireless network
Allow the access point to boot up and automatically update its firmware and configuration to match the existing network. This can take ten minutes or more and the LED will cycle through green, amber and red. This is normal. Once the LED is blinking green or solid green the setup is complete and the AP has joined the network.
