Access Point
Place the access point on a flat surface such as a table, desktop, or the top of a
cabinet and connect it to power and to a port on your hub or switch as
shown below.
Checking the LED
Indicators
When the access point is connected to power, two LEDs indicate activity
as follows:

is available. If a DHCP server does not assign it an IP address, the
access point’s default IP address is 169.254.xxx.1, where xxx is
the last byte of the access point’s MAC address))
