Fast Ethernet Ports 2

Use the network to connect access points (APs) as well as wired LAN segments. The ports provide 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (FE) connectivity, and can provide power and serial connectivity to compatible devices.

Power over Ethernet

Each FE port supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE).

When a compatible POE device such as the NETGEAR WAGL102 or WGL102 access point is connected to a network port, the port can provide operating power to that device through the connected Ethernet cable. This allows APs to be installed in areas where electrical outlets are unavailable, undesirable, or not permitted, such as in the plenum and air-handling spaces. The network ports automatically detect when compatible PoE devices are connected and require power.

Special cables and adapters may be necessary to use PoE features with some equipment. See Appendix A, “Cables and Connector Pinouts” for port and cable specifications.

Port and LED Locations

Figure 1-2 shows the FE ports and the location of the port LEDs.

Figure 1-2

FE Network Ports 1 S. The eight FE ports are split into two four-port blocks and numbered 0 through 7. Each FE port has three informational, multi-color LEDs. These LEDs are:

•LNK/ACT A

•POE B

•ACCESS POINT STATUS C
