The Wireless Network Access Point’s Ports

The Access Point’s ports, where a network cable is connected, are located on the Access Point’s rear panel.

Dipole Antenna
Connectors	These two round connections are where the antennas are
	connected to the Access Point.
LAN	This LAN (Local Area Network) port connects to
	Ethernet network devices, such as a hub, switch, or
	router.
Power	The Power port is where you will connect the power
	adapter.
Reset Button	There are two ways to reset the Access Point’s factory
	defaults. Briefly press the Reset Button for approximately
	ten seconds, or use the Password tab of the Access Point’s
	Web-based Utility.

Important: Resetting the Access Point will erase all of your settings (WEP Encryption, Wireless, and LAN settings, etc.) and replace them with the factory defaults.

The Wireless Network Access Point’s LEDs

	Figure 3-2
Power	Red. The Power LED lights up when the Access Point is
	powered on.
ACT	Green. If the LED is flickering, the Access Point is actively
	sending or receiving data to or from one of the devices on the
	wireless network.
LINK	Orange. The LINK LED serves two purposes. If the LED is
	continuously lit up, the Access Point is successfully connect-
	ed to a device through the LAN port. If the LED is flicker-
	ing, it is an indication of any wired network activity.
