Used for connecting to Access Points (APs) and wired LAN

segments. These 10/100 Mbps FE ports aggregate and route

traffic under the direction of the switch’s internal software. These

ports can also provide power and serial connectivity to compatible

devices.

z2 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports

Used for high-bandwidth 10/100/1000 Mbps GE uplink between

the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch and the wired LAN. Each port

socket accepts a variety of Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs)

for versatility in selecting optical and electrical interfaces.

console.

This chapter describes the general features and physical

characteristics of the various ports and details their compatible
