Chapter1 Overview Hardware Features
Dual-Radio Operation
The access point supports simultaneous radio operation using a 2.4-GHz 802.11g radio and a 5-GHz
802.11a radio. Each radio uses dual-diversity integrated antennas.
The 5-GHz radio incorporates an Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) radio
transceiver operating in the UNII 5-GHz frequency bands. The 802.11g radio is calledRadio0 and the
802.11a radio is called Radio1.
Ethernet Port
Theauto-sensing Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a
power injector, switch, or power patch panel. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the
back of the access point (refer to Figure 1). The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the
closed top cover (seeFigure 1-1).
Note Do not attempt to connect a cable with a protective boot to the access point Ethernet port. Because of
limited space in the connection area, booted connectors will not fit.
Console Port
The serial console port provides access to the access point’s command-line interface (CLI) using a
terminal emulator program. The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the top cover (see
Figure 1-1). Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect your computer’s COM port to the access
point’s serial console port. (Refer toAppendix E, “Console Cable Pinouts,” for a description of the
consoleport pinouts.) Assign the following port settings to a terminal emulator to open the management
system pages: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Note Do not attempt to connect a cable with a protective boot to the access point console port. Because of
limited space in the connection area, booted connectors will not fit.
LEDs
Theaccess point has three LEDs to indicate Ethernet activity, radio activity, and status indications (refer
to the “Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on page6-2 for additional information).
•The Status LED provides general operating status and error indications (top cover closed).
•TheEthernet LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover. This LED signals
Ethernet traffic on the wired Ethernet LAN and provides Ethernet error indications.
•The Radio LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover.This LED signals
that wireless packets are being transmitted or received over the radio interface and provides radio
error indications.
Note The access point cover must be closed to view the Status LED but the cover must be open to view the
Ethernet and the Radio LEDs.
Figure 1-1 shows the locations of the three LEDs.
