Chapter 2: Getting to Know the 2480AA AP

Inside the 2480AA AP

Before you can either test or install the Telex 2480AA AP, you must attach a length of CAT-5

Ethernet cable to the unit. Open the door of the 2480AA AP using a standard flat blade

screwdriver. Insert one end of a length of CAT-5 8-conductor Ethernet cable through the hole

marked CAT-5 and connect to the RJ-45 jack.

WARNING: Before touching the PCB, make sure that you are grounded and have dissipated

any static charge to ground.

You will see a small 2-position slide switch near the RJ45 socket. If you are connecting the

2480AA AP directly to a computer network card or other Ethernet device, then slide this switch

toward the RJ45 socket. If you are connecting the 2480AA AP to a hub or switch, then slide this

switch away from the RJ45 socket. Later, when you apply power to the unit, the rightmost green

LED will light, indicating an Ethernet connection has been made.
