Chapter 1 Overview
Hardware Features
Ethernet Port
The auto-sensing Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector, linking the access point to your 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN. The access point can receive power through the Ethernet cable from a
power injector, switch, or power patch panel. The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the label on the
back of the access point. The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the top cover (see
Figure 1-1).
Console Port
The serial console port provides access to the access point’s command-line interface (CLI) using a
terminal emulator program. The port is located in a cable bay area that is hidden by the top cover (see
Figure 1-1). Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect your computer’s COM port to the access
point’s serial console port. (Refer to Appendix E, “Console Cable Pinouts,” for a description of the
console port pinouts.) Assign the following port settings to a terminal emulator to open the management
system pages: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
Note Your console cable connector must not include over-molding or a cable boot because of space limitations
within the cable bay area of the access point.
LEDs
The report Ethernet has three LEDs to indicate Ethernet activity, association status, radio activity, and
other status indications (refer to the “Checking the Access Point LEDs” section on page 6-2 for
additional information).
• The Status LED provides general operating status and error indications.
• The Ethernet LED is located in the cable bay area under the access point top cover. This LED signals
Ethernet traffic on the wired Ethernet LAN and provides Ethernet error indications.
• The Radio LED signals that wireless packets are being transmitted or received over the radio
interface and provides radio error indications.
Figure 1-1 shows the locations of the three LEDs.
