16 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE BRIDGE
Connecting to a
Network Printer
You can connect a network printer directly to the Bridge or to a hub that
is connected to the Bridge. Used this way, the Bridge allows you to place
network printers in areas that are not wired for Ethernet.
1 Configure the network printer as you would for connecting it to the wired
LAN. For details on configuring the printer, see your printer documentation.
2 If necessary, configure the Bridge to associate with your access point.
3 Connect the Bridge to the power supply in its permanent location.
4 Connect the network printer directly to the Bridge as shown in Figure 11,
or to a hub that is connected to the Bridge as shown in “Connecting to a
Hub” on page 15.

Connecting to a
Computer
You can connect the Bridge directly to a computer through Ethernet as
shown in Figure 12. Used this way, the Bridge can convert a desktop
computer to a wireless computer. This connection also allows you to
configure a Bridge before connecting it to another device.
