Step 4   Connect an Ethernet cable to the internal NIC port (1) on the back of the BBSM Hotspot appliance (Figure 6), and connect the other end of the cable to the switch, power injector, or wireless access point.


Note    If you are using only one access point, you can bypass the switch by connecting an Ethernet crossover cable from the internal NIC port (1) on the back of the BBSM Hotspot appliance directly to the (To Network) end of the power injector, or to the access point, as appropriate.

Step 5   Connect an Ethernet cable to the external NIC port (2) on the back of the BBSM Hotspot appliance (Figure 6), and connect the other end of the cable to your router, which you use to connect to the Internet.
