Setting up your RAP3 Device
Setting up your RAP3 Device
Your RAP3 device allows you to work from home, it is essentially a broadband modem that is connected to the SUSSEX network, allowing you to seamlessly connect your work devices at home and work as if you are in the office.
Below are instructions on how to setup your RAP3 device
Your RAP3 package should contain 3 items:
1 x Aruba Network RAP3 Modem/Router
1 x RAP3 Tabletop Stand
1 x RJ45 Ethernet Cable
1 x Power Adaptor
1. Connect your RAP3 device to the tabletop stand.
2. Connect the power cable to your RAP3 device.
3. Plug the supplied Ethernet cable into the top port labelled "E0"
Most people use their RAP3 via WiFi so there is no need to connect another Ethernet cable.
4. Now plug the other end of the Ehternet cable into your home broadband router e.g. SkyBox, VirginBox, PlusNet.
These are usually YELLOW and labelled 1 2 3 4
There is no need to disconnect the RAP3 device, it can remain permanently connected.
5. Give the RAP3 device several minutes to fully boot up, Pwr, E0 and WLAN should be lit GREEN when ready to use.
6. Finally connect your device to the newly available "SUSSEX" network, just like being at work.
