Hardware Overview

Hardware Overview

The WS 2000 Wireless Switch provides a fully integrated solution for managing every aspect of connecting wireless LANs (WLANs) to a wired network. This wireless switch can connect directly to a cable or DSL modem, and can also connect to other wide area networks through a Layer 2/3 device (such as a switch or router). It includes the following features:

•One WAN (RJ-45) port for connection to a DSL modem, cable modem, or any other Layer 2/3 network device.

•Six 10/100 Mbit/sec. LAN (RJ-45) ports: four ports provide 802.3af “Power over Ethernet” (PoE) support; the other two do not provide power.

•Each port has two LEDs, one indicating the speed of the transmission (10 or 100 Mbit/sec.), the other indicating whether there is activity on the port. The four LAN ports with PoE have a third LED that indicates whether power is being delivered over the line to a power device (such as an Access Port). (See the WS 2000 Wireless Switch LED explanation for more information on the meaning of the different state of the LEDs.)

•A DB-9 serial port for direct access to the command-line interface from a PC. Use Symbol’s Null-Modem cable (Part No. 25-632878-0) for the best fitting connection.

•A CompactFlash slot that provides AirBeam™ support.
