f. Turn on your computer and verify the LED behavior on the front of the wireless
access point.
Tip: Before you deploy your wireless access point, reserve an IP address (based
on the WG602v4’s MAC address) on the DHCP server. That way, you can con-
figure the wireless access point with a static IP address which you can always use
to log in to make future configuration changes.

to verify wireless network connectivity.
Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WG602v4 in your
network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its original
TCP/IP settings.
2. CONFIGURE LAN AND WIRELESS ACCESS
a. Configure the WG602v4 Ethernet port for LAN access. Connect to the
address field.
First, Set Up the WG602v4
1. Disconnect the WG602v4 and position it where you will deploy it. The best location
