Connecting the Cables

Connecting the Cables

Note: Refer to Appendix C for cabling and pin-out information.

Perform the following steps to connect the cables and power on the access point:

1.Connect the Ethernet Cable. The access point can be wired to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet through a network device, such as a hub or a switch. Connect your network to the RJ‐45 port on the back panel with category 3, 4, or 5 UTP Ethernet cable. When the access point and the connected device are powered on, the Ethernet Link LED should light indicating a valid network connection.

Note: The RJ-45 port on the access point uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use a straight- through cable for network connections to hubs or switches that only have MDI-X ports, and crossover cable for network connections to PCs, servers or other end nodes that only have MDI ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting supports auto-MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable.
