cable is thus run from the 3e-531AP to the PoE-capable hub switch which
is then connected to the wired LAN and to a power source.
The 3e-531AP design includes an external Power Switch for the pur-
pose of disabling power to the unit for servicing or removal.
Although a safety interlock is provided on the unit to disable power
when the enclosure door is opened, AC and PoE power cables must be
disconnected prior to servicing or removing the device. This is a precau-
tionary measure.
An additional Ethernet connector labeled "Local" is designated for use
during initial conguration. The installation team uses an RJ45 cable with
Circular connector to connect the 3e-531AP to a laptop.
Indicator Lights
The top panel of the 3e-531AP contains a set of indicator lights (Light
Emitting Diodes or LEDs) that help describe the state of various network-
ing and connection operations.
This closeup shows the ground and one of the seals that
are standard on the FIPS 140-2 compliant 3e-531AP.
Note that the ground will be installed permanently on
installation of the unit and should not be disturbed after
that.

Error State
LED indicator
The Error State LED indicator will light to alert you if
the device enters Error State. If the 3e-531AP enters an
Error State, you must power down and up (using the
On/Off switch), to allow it to invoke the power-up self
tests.
