Security Slot
The access point includes a Kensington security slot on the rear panel. You can
prevent unauthorized removal of the access point by wrapping the Kensington
security cable (not provided) around an unmovable object, inserting the lock into the
slot, and turning the key.
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console device to the access point through a serial
cable. This connection is described under “Console Port Pin Assignments” on page
B-3. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal
emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
Ethernet Port
The access point has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be attached
directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments. These segments must conform
to the IEEE 802.3 or 802.3u specifications.
This port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through
cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs.
The access point appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function by
moving packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless
infrastructure.
Note: The RJ-45 port also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE
802.3af standard. Refer to the description for the “Power Connector” for
information on supplying power to the access point’s network port from a network
device, such as a switch, that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).
LED Status Description
PWR On Indicates that the system is working normally.
Flashing Indicates running a self-test or loading the software program.
Flashing (Prolonged) Indicates system errors.
Link On Indicates a valid 10/100 Mbps Ethernet cable link.
Flashing Indicates that the access point is transmitting or receiving data
on a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN. Flashing rate is proportional
to network activity.
11g On Indicates that the 802.11b/g radio is enabled.
Flashing Indicates that the access point is transmitting or receiving data
through wireless links. Flashing rate is proportional to network
activity.
Off Indicates that the 802.11b/g radio is disabled.
