4 Install the Hardware

4.1 Attaching Antennas

4.2 Hardware Mounting

In general, the best location for the access point is at the center of your intended wireless

coverage area. For better performance, mount the NWA-3500 high up in an area that is

free of obstructions.

Wall-mounting

Do the following to attach your NWA-3500 to a wall.

1 Screw two screws (not included) into the wall 80mm apart (see the figure in step 3).

Use screws with 6mm ~ 8mm (0.24" ~ 0.31") wide heads. Do not screw the screws all

the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the screw and the wall.

The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the

connection cables to run down the back of the NWA-3500.

" Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to

hold the weight of the NWA-3500 with the connection cables.

2 Adjust the cables.

Screw the antennas clockwise onto the antenna connectors on

the sides of your NWA-3500. The antennas should be

perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.

Make sure the antennas are securely screwed onto the antenna

connectors.

ENGLISH

14

Run the connection cables down the back of the NWA-3500 as shown in the following

figure.

OR:

Run the connection cables upward and along the edge of the ceiling.

5 Set Up Power over Ethernet (Optional)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the ability to provide power to your NWA-3500 via an 8-pin

CAT 5 Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a nearby power source.

A PoE injector (not included) is also needed to supply the Ethernet cable with power. This

feature allows increased flexibility in the location of your NWA-3500.

In the following figure, Z is your NWA-3500, A is the CAT 5 Ethernet cable, B is the PoE

injector and C is the power cable.

3 Align the holes on the back

of the NWA-3500 with the

screws on the wall. Hang

the NWA-3500 on the

screws.

ENGLISH

15

" You can connect the NWA-3500 to PoE via the ETHERNET port AND to a

power source via the POWER 12VDC port. If you do so, do not disconnect

the ETHERNET port before you disconnect the POWER 12VDC port. This

causes the NWA-3500 to restart.
