Access Point Ports

The access point has all the physical connections located on the right hand side panel. These connections are:-

Figure 1 - Access Point Side Panel

DC In

This is a 3.5mm coaxial format jack socket that accepts +12v DC for locally powering the access point. Ensure that the correct polarity and voltage range is applied.

LAN

This RJ-45 connector is the auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet circuit that will be connected to the local switch or other LAN element. For installation, this port is connected to the configuring PC using the supplied cable. This port is not Auto-MDI/MDI-X and so the correct type of cable is needed. This port can also be used for powering the access point by the application of +48v DC on the spare pairs of the structured wiring. See page 32 for details.

RS232

This 9W D-Type connector is the 9600bps serial console link that can be used during configuration and maintenance activities. The console system uses a command line interface.

Reset

This push-button switch is used to force a factory default reset of the access point. See page 32.

LED Indicators

The access point has 4 LED indicators on the front surface of the unit.

Indicator	Function
Power	Lights when there is suitable DC power on either the DC In port or on the
	RJ-45 Ethernet LAN cable.
LAN	Flashes when data is transmitted on the 10/100M Ethernet LAN port

AFlashes when data is transmitted on the 802.11a band radio

B/G Flashes when data is transmitted on the 802.11b/g band radio

Note that even if there are no wireless clients associated with the access point, the A and the B/G LEDs will flash when the access point transmits a beacon frame. See page 23 for details.
