Unpacking the Extricom EXWO-404 WLAN System
The Extricom EXWO-404 WLAN system is shipped with the following:
One EXSW400 Extricom WLAN switch.
CD which contains The Extricom EXWO-404 WLAN System User Guide and firmware.
Four EXRP-20 UltraThin Dual-Radio a/b/g APs.
Power cable for switch.
Additional Equipment Needed
The following additional equipment is required for installing the Extricom WLAN system:
Four CAT-5e/6 cables, one for each AP.
One CAT-5e/6 cable for connecting the WLAN switch uplink to the LAN switch.
Two stainless steel pan head 8x1-1/4" self-tapping Phillips screws for mounting each AP
(optional).
Determining the Location of the Extricom Access
Points
Before installing the switch and access points, plan the placement of the APs. Before permanently
mounting the APs, it is recommended to test the network (using a laptop client) to identify potential
coverage holes. If such a problem exists, relocate an AP or add additional APs to resolve the
coverage hole.
The APs should be placed in a stable, secure location, such as on top of a closet or bookshelf, or
mounted on a wall.
The switch should be placed near the distribution point of the LAN line. This is usually in the
communications closet of your organization.
