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.

Description

LED blinks red to indicate radio activity. Faster blinking indicates more activity.

LED lights yellow when a 10 Mbps Ethernet link is established. LED lights green when a 100 Mbps Ethernet link is established. LED blinks to indicate activity on the Ethernet. Faster blinking indicates more activity.

LED lights green when operational code is running.

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.
