Instructions

1. Check packing slips and confirm that all equipment ordered has been received.
   1. If any items are missing or incorrect contact your reseller.
2. Survey facility for an appropriate SAP installation location
   1. The SAP should be located in the center of the area in which the FasCard readers are to be located.  The wireless range of the devices is approximately 90 feet, properly placing a SAP can cover 180 foot diameter area.
   2. The SAP can be either ceiling mounted or wall mounted using the included mounting tabs.

   3. The SAP comes with a 100' Cat5 Ethernet cable, this cable will connect the SAP to the locations internet connection.  Confirm that 100' will be sufficient to reach the mounting site to the internet connection. 

   4. The path in which the Cat5 cable is to be run should be free of hazards that may sever or damage the cable, avoiding high frequency devices such as lighting ballasts, microwaves, cordless phones or neon lighting is also recommended
   5. If installing multiple SAP's, when possible choose mounting sites where all SAP's are in range of all FasCard readers.  This will provide redundancy to the readers in the event that an SAP goes offline.
3. Mount the SAP
   1. The SAP has multiple mounting options, follow the Fascard Satellite Access Point Install / Mounting Guide for details
4. Connect the C-0181 100' Cat5 cable to Port 1 / POE on the SAP.
   
   
   
5. Run the opposite end of the C-0181 Cat5 cable from the SAP to the local internet connection in the building.
   1. Use cable ties to secure cabling to solid structures along cable pathway, stay clear of any objects that may cause harm to the cable.

6. Connect the provided C-0177 15' Cat5 cable to the customer supplied internet device and the other end into the "Data In" port of the C-5605 PoE adapter.

   This might be a router or a 'Modem', this device must provide DHCP service.  Although most routers and modems today do, you may need to contact a local networking professional to confirm

   
    

7. Connect the 100' home run from the SAP into the "Data & Power Out" port of the PoE.
   
   
   Wiring Example:
