Ethernet Port

The auto-sensing Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN (see Figure 1-2). 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 side of the access point (refer to the “Finding the Product Serial Number” section on page xi).

LEDs

The access point has four LEDs to provide a visual indication of access point operations (refer to the “Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on page 3-3for additional information).

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. 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
