AT-AP500 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide Rear Panel Components The rear panel components of the AT-AP500 Access Point are illustrated in Figure 1. Kensington Lock Reset Button LAN Port DC Power Connector Console Port Figure 1. Rear Panel Components The components are listed in Table 1. Table 1. Components on the Rear Panel Field Description Kensington Lock Lock to secure the access point. For information, refer to “Kensington Lock” on page 34.
Chapter 1: Overview Table 1. Components on the Rear Panel (Continued) Field DC Power Connector 18 Description This connector is for the AT-TQ0091 Power Adapter. The access point can be powered with PoE+ on the LAN port or the power adapter. The AT-TQ0091 Power Adapter does not come with the access point. It must be ordered separately from Allied Telesis.
AT-AP500 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide LAN Port The LAN port is used to connect the device to your Local Area Network (LAN), typically through an Ethernet switch. Power over Ethernet The AT-AP500 Access Point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+) on the LAN port. The unit is a PoE+ class 4 powered device with a maximum power consumption of 16 watts. When the port is connected to a PoE+ Ethernet switch, the unit receives its power over the network cable that carries the network traffic.
Chapter 1: Overview Table 2. Twisted Pair Cable for the LAN Port 10Mbps Cable Type Automatic MDIX Detection 100Mbps 1000Mbps PoE+ NonPoE+ PoE+ NonPoE+ PoE+ Standard TIA/EIA 568- Yes B-compliant Category 3 shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and 16 MHz frequency. No No No No No Standard TIA/EIA 568A-compliant Category 5 shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and 100 MHz frequency.
AT-AP500 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide LEDs The LEDs on the AT-AP500 Access Point are described in Table 3. Table 3. LEDs on the AT-AP500 Access Point LED PWR SYS LAN State Description Solid Green The unit is receiving DC power that is within the normal operating range. Off The power supply is not receiving power from either the AC/DC power adapter or a PoE+ Ethernet switch. Solid Amber The access point is loading its firmware or there is a system fault.
Chapter 1: Overview Reset Button The Reset button on the rear panel is used to reboot the unit. The Reset button is recessed to prevent it from being accidentally pressed. To press the button, use a pointed object, such as the end of a straightened paper clip.
