3Com Corporation WL306 Manuel D’Utilisation

 

The following items are required for installation:

 

■

 

3Com Integrated Power-over-Ethernet power supply and power cord.

 

■

 

Standard category 5 straight (8-wire) Ethernet cable for connecting the access 
point to the power supply. This length of cable must reach from the access 
point to the power supply.

If you plan to connect the access point to a wired network, you will need an 
additional length of Ethernet cable.

 

■

 

If you plan to mount the access point on a wall:

 

■

 

Mounting template

 

■

 

Wall mount hardware kit

 

■

 

If you plan to mount the access point to the T-rail grid of an acoustical ceiling:

 

■

 

Mounting bracket

 

■

 

Two #6 panhead screws

 

Select a clean, dry location that provides good reception. The site should not be 
close to transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, 
refrigerators and other electrical equipment. 

The power supply must be located near a power source. If you are connecting the 
access point to a wired network, the location must provide an Ethernet 
connection. You will need to run an Ethernet cable from the power supply to the 
access point.

An access point provides coverage at distances of up to 1000 feet. Signal loss can 
occur if metal, concrete, brick, walls, or floors block transmission. If your office has 
these kinds of obstructions, you may need to add additional access points to 
improve coverage.

If you plan to use one of the available optional antennas instead of the standard 
detachable antennas, review “Selecting A Different Antenna” on page 11 before
