NOTE:

The 5GHz Antenna Adapter Kit or 11a Upgrade Kit is not approved in accordance with UL-2043 for use in a plenum. The Access Point using a power supply, should not be plenum mounted. Use Active Ethernet to power the units mounted in a plenum environment.

Installing/Removing the Metal Faceplate

1.When using only one card in the Access Point mounted in a plenum environment, remove the plastic cover.

2.Place the top edge of the faceplate under the front ridge of the metal enclosure.

3.Snap the faceplate in the empty card slot in the Access Point.

! CAUTION:

Do not drop the faceplate into the card slot in the AP.

4.To install a second radio card, the faceplate must be removed. Gently pry the faceplate off using the tab on the faceplate.

Active Ethernet

An Active Ethernet-enabled AP is equipped with an 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module. Active Ethernet (AE) delivers both data and power to the access point over a single Ethernet cable. If you choose to use Active Ethernet, there is no difference in operation; the only difference is in the power source.
