Connecting a 3Com Wireless Access Point 25

Connecting a 3Com Wireless Access Point
Figure9 shows how to connect a 3Com Wireless Access Point. You do
not need a power splitter for this end device.
See Figure5 in Chapter 1 for a typical network topology with the EPS and
the 3Com Wireless Access Point.
Using Category 5 cable that has been checked for continuity on all eight
wires, connect an EPS output port (a port on the upper row of
connectors) to the data jack closest to the 3Com Wireless Access Point.
The connection may involve multiple segments such as the patch panel
and premises cabling shown in Figure9. The total length of the
connection path should not exceed 100 meters.
