computer, with xxxxx being the last five digits of your extender’s serial
number. For more information, see “How to use Site Survey” on page 10.

Click Associate. Verify that your computer has successfully associated
with the extender (see your computer’s operating system help for

web address and the extender’s User Name and Password dialog box
opens.
