4To link the access point to your Ethernet network, plug one end of another Ethernet cable into the port labeled To Hub/Switch on the power supply, and plug the other end into a LAN port (on a hub or in a wall).

USING A POWER-OVER-ETHERNET LAN PORT

If your LAN equipment complies with the IEEE 802.3af power-over-Ethernet standard, you can connect the access point directly to a LAN port. For example, the illustration above right shows a connection through a 3Com Ethernet Power Supply to a 3Com SuperStack® Switch.

CHECKING THE LEDS

When power is connected, the access point LEDs light. The illustration and the following table describe the LEDs and their functions.

MOUNTING ON A WALL

CAUTION: The mounting plate is designed for wall mount installation only. To avoid equipment damage and possible injury, do not use the mounting plate for a ceiling installation.

The access point comes equipped with all the necessary hardware for mounting on a wall, including a mounting plate. For a secure installation, the mounting plate should be placed perpendicular to the floor, with the arrow pointed up, as indicated on the mounting plate, with the smooth side against the wall.
