3.1.4 Installation Steps
Please follow the following steps to install MW-2000S:
1. Connect the DC power adapter to the power connector socket on the rear panel. The Power LED should be on
to indicate a proper connection.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN Port on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to
ADSL modem, cable modem or a switch/hub of the internal network. The LED of this WAN port should be on to
indicate a proper connection.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to Private Port on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a
client’s PC. The LED of Private Port should be on to indicate a proper connection. (Note: No authentication is
required for the users to access the network via Private Port and the administrator can enter the administrative
user interface to perform configurations via Private Port.)
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN1~LAN4 Port on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to an AP or switch. The LED of LAN1~LAN4 should be on to indicate a proper connection. (Note:
Authentication is required for the users to access the network via these LAN Ports.)
Attention: Usually a straight-through cable could be applied when the MW-2000S connects to an Access Point
which supports automatic crossover. If after the AP hardware resets, the MW-2000S could not be able to connect to
the AP while connecting with a straight-through cable, the user have to pull out and plug-in the straight-through
cable again. This scenario does NOT occur while using a crossover cable.
After the hardware of MW-2000S is installed completely, the system is ready to be configured in the following
sections.
