3. Plug the power supply into the RangeLAN2 Ethernet
Adapter DC power jack, located on the rear panel, and
plug the power supply into an AC outlet. Upon com-
pleting this step, the LED indicator on the top panel of
the unit will glow yellow and then turn green, indicating
that the unit is ready for operation.
4. Connect one end of a standard 10BASE-T cable to an
Ethernet-ready device and the other end to the Ethernet
Adapter. If you are connecting the Ethernet Adapter to
a cabling hub, you must use a 10BASE-T cross-over
cable. See Chapter 4 for information on the pinout
specification of a 10BASE-T cross-over cable.
When the cable is correctly connected to both units, the
Link LED to the right of the Ethernet Adapter’s
10BASE-T connector will glow steady green.
5. Confirm that the yellowSync LED, located between the
serial port and the DC power jack, is on. This light
indicates that the Ethernet Adapter has synchronized to
a RangeLAN2 product acting as a Master. If this LED
light is not on, recheck the location and software set-
tings of your Master unit.
6. Confirm that the software setting, “Filter Fixed Nodes,”
is set to “Not Filtering” on all RangeLAN2 Access
Point on the network to which the Ethernet Adapter
may roam. This step is not necessary if you are using a
RangeLAN2 Access Point model 7510, 7520, or 7521
with revision 1.4 or greater of the Access Point flash
code image installed.
