Chapter 1 Overview
Hardware Features
LEDs
The access point has three LEDs to indicate Ethernet activity, radio activity, and status indications (refer to the “Checking the Lightweight Access Point LEDs” section on page
•The Status LED provides general operating status and error indications.
•The Ethernet LED signals Ethernet traffic on the wired Ethernet LAN and provides Ethernet error indications.
•The Radio LED signals that wireless packets are being transmitted or received over the radio interface and provides radio error indications.
Power Sources
The access point can receive power from an external power module or from inline power using the Ethernet cable. The access point supports the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard and Cisco CDP Power Negotiation. Using inline power, you do not need to run a power cord to the access point because power is supplied over the Ethernet cable.
Warning This product must be connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source or an IEC60950 compliant limited power source. Statement 353
Caution Be careful when handling the access point; the bottom plate might be hot.
The access point supports the following power sources:
•Power module
•Inline power:
–Cisco Aironet Power Injector
–An inline power capable switch, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3550 PWR XL,
–Other inline power switches supporting the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard
Note Some switches and patch panels might not provide enough power to operate the access point with both
