AP-4000 Series Hardware Description

Overview

The AP-4000, AP-4000M, and AP-4900M are tri-mode APs that simultaneously support 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11a clients.

The AP-4000/4000M/4900M contains two embedded radios: one 802.11b/g radio and one 802.11a only radio. The 802.11a radio supports operation in 802.11a only mode in the AP-4000, and operation in either 802.11a only or 4.9 GHz Public Safety mode in the AP-4900M. 4.9 GHz Public Safety mode is for use in the licensed 4.9 GHz band; only users with licenses to operate in this band should access it.

The 802.11b/g radio supports the following operational modes:

•802.11b only mode

•802.11g only mode

•802.11b/g mode

•802.11g-wifi

NOTE: 802.11g-wifi has been defined for Wi-Fi testing purposes. It is not recommended for use in your wireless network environment.

The AP-4000/4000M/4900M can be powered through either Active Ethernet (802.3af Power over Ethernet) or through an external DC power source using the power cord.
