…System Requirements
To begin using the ASUS SpaceLink Access Point, you must have the following minimum requirements:
. An Ethernet (10Base-T or 10/100Base-TX) LAN switch or hub
. At least one 802.11b wireless adapter for a wireless mobile client. Note: The ASUS SpaceLink Access Point only supports 10Base-T, therefore it cannot be connected to pure 100Base-TX networks. The network must be either 10-Base or 10/100Base-TX.

Follow these steps to install the ASUS SpaceLink Access Point.
1. Determine the best location for the ASUS SpaceLink Access Point. Keep in mind the following considerations:
. The length of the Ethernet cable that connects the Access Point to the network must not exceed 100 meters.
. For standard placement, try to place the Access Point on a flat, sturdy surface as far from the ground as possible, such as on top of a desk or bookcase, keeping clear of metal obstructions and away from direct sunlight.
. For external antenna mounting, install the external antennas so that they are clear of obstructions; refer to the documentation that came with the antennas for mounting and installation instructions.
. Try to centrally locate the Access Point or its antennas so that it will provide coverage to all of the mobile devices in the area.
. Use only the power supply that came with this unit. Other power supplies may fit but the voltage and power may not be compatible. It is the responsibility of the installer and users of the ASUS SpaceLink Access Point to guarantee that the antenna is operated at least 20 centimeters from any person. This is necessary to in-sure that the product is operated in accordance with the RF Guide-lines for Human Exposure which have been adopted by the Federal Communications Commission.
2. Place the Access Point in the desired location. Wall mounting is also possible for the Access Point. Refer to the section entitled “Wall Mounting Option” on the next page for details.
3. Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Access Point and attach the other end to the RJ-45 10Base-T port of a network hub, switch, router, or patch panel (possibly on a wall).
The ASUS SpaceLink Access Point does not support 100Base-TX; it only supports 10Base-T. Hubs or switches that supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX may be used.
