We will now go into the details of each step.
1. Plug antennas
Plug the provided antenna into the RP-SMA connector.
2. Connect the power supply
See the "specifications" section about the characteristics of the power supply.
If you do not use an isolated power supply, connect the power supply
ground (0V) to the earth grounding of the product, to guard against
potential destructions due to ground reference differences with other devices.
The device has no ON/OFF switch. It turns on automatically when power is
applied. Check the "Power" LED turns on.
The DIAG led turns off after a few seconds when the device is ready (< 10s).
3. Establish the Wi-Fi link between the product and your PC
Use a PC equipped with a Wi-Fi card. Start the appropriate system utility to
detect Wi-Fi equipments around. You should see the product, which uses the
following default parameters:
- SSID: "acksys"
- No security
- Ad-hoc mode
- Radio channel 6 in 802.11b/g

If you do not have a computer equipped with Wi-Fi, you can configure the product
through its serial port. See section « CLI administration ».
If you do not see the product, check the radio conditions (antennas plugged,
correctly oriented, product near the PC, no obstacle to radio waves) then
proceed to next step in order to reset the product to its factory settings.
If the product is visible from your PC, establish the Wi-Fi connection. Skip the
next step.
4. Reset to factory settings (if necessary)
This step is needed only if the product is not accessible from your PC. See
the "How to restore factory settings?" topic in the "Troubleshooting"
section. After the product reboot you should now see the product in the Wi-Fi
devices list. Otherwise check your PC configuration.

NDM found on the provided CD-ROM. You must have Java installed.
