– DSL / Cable Modem for broadband access

Self Installation – Getting Started

• Always refer to Installation Guides provided with each component for additional details

• Every WiFi Self Install solution comes pre-provisioned (SSID, WPA enablement, WPA Passphrase, and network channel are preloaded)

Your organization will be provided the initial settings for the network. These settings were modified from the manufacturer defaults to ensure card association compliance right out of the box. Your organization will be responsible for any changes to

the settings in the future and their compliance with card association standards for security.

Installation – Best Practices

• In ideal conditions, WiFi range is up to 100 feet from the Access Point in every direction

• Interference can degrade the quality of the signal

• Potential causes of interference include cordless phones, microwaves, Bluetooth devices, walls, and metal doors

• Ways to minimize interference

– Place Access Point in area away from potential sources of interference

– Position Access Point in central location of desired coverage

– Avoid placing the Access Point next to an outside wall

– Use a cordless phone operating either on the 900M Hz or 5 GHz ranges
