• LEDs to indicate AP status

3.7 A Note On Cabling
Attention! Most of the cabling used in the AB-Access System is CAT5. You will need to be
aware of the following limits on CAT5 cable lengths:
• The interconnect cable from the indoor junction box to an outdoor transceiver must be less
than 60 meters. This is due to DC resistance loss over the distance of the cable run.
• The combined length of ATM cross-over cable (from the junction box to the anchor switch)
and the interconnect cable must be less than 100 meters.
3.8 Software Consideration
As an installer, you need to know how to use a serial console to:
• Configure the Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) on the AS.
• Check the status of communications between the AS and CS.
• Check the backhaul connection.
You will use a Command Line Interface (CLI) to perform any necessary configuration. For
additional information, please see the U-NII Configuration and User’s Guide.
