SECTION 2 " Features and Functional Overview

3.Rubber feet. Four nonskid rubber feet provide a stable base for the access point when you place it on a desktop or other horizontal surface.

When the mounting bracket is installed for an access point mounted vertically or on the ceiling, the rubber feet provide a small amount of tension to the bracket to help hold it in place.

4.AC INPUT. The AC INPUT connector is a standard IEC type, three-prong AC input connector. The power cord attaches to this connector. The internal power supply is an autosensing international power supply. It accepts a source voltage between 85 and 264 V ac, with a frequency between 47 and 63 Hz.

5.10 BASE 2. The 10 BASE 2 port is a standard BNC port through which the access point connects to 10BASE2 Ethernet (thinnet).

6.10 BASE T. The 10 BASE T port is a standard RJ45 port through which the access point connects to 10BASE-T (UTP) Ethernet.

7.AUI. The AUI port is a 15-pin, D-subminiature (D-sub) port. The access point connects to an AUI network adaptor through this port, for connection to 10BASE5 Ethernet (thicknet). Appendix F, “Port and Cable Pin-Outs,” contains pin definitions.

"NOTE: Section 3, “Installation,” shows how to connect the access point to 10BASE2, 10BASE5, and 10BASE-T.

8.DIAG. The DIAG port is a 9-pin D-sub communication port that communicates at RS-232 levels. Use this port to configure the access point, download new software, and retrieve statistics. Appendix F contains pin definitions.
