Introduction
The Altitude™ 4511 Access Point links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n devices to the controller,
enabling the growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective alternative to standard
Access Points.
The Altitude 4511 Access Point is an enterprise class 802.11n Access Point, installed in
minutes anywhere a CAT-5 (or better) cable is located. The Altitude 4511 Access Point’s
mechanical design is optimized for installation over a standard CAT-5 (or better) wall jack.
The AP does not protrude into the wall cavity, allowing for an efficient heat transfer and a
universal installation over a standard Telco wiring plate. The Altitude 4511 Access Point’s
modular design allows the end-user to add switched Ethernet ports as-needed, and attach a
standard keystone or Leviton QuickPort
®
modular connector to the wall plate.
The Altitude 4511 Access Point ships with a single dual-band radio supporting the 802.11a/
b/g/n radio bands.
The Altitude 4511 Access Point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-
5 or better Ethernet cable. There is no additional power supply required. An 802.113af
Ethernet switch or an Extreme Networks Summit
®
WM3400 or Summit WM3600 model
controller (both PoE capable) is required to power the Altitude 4511 Access Point.
Once cabled and powered, the Altitude 4511 Access Point can be set to function as either a
Virtual Controller AP, Standalone AP or Dependent Mode AP. If set to function as a
Standalone AP, the Access Point defines its own management configuration. If set to
function as a Dependent Mode Access Point, the Altitude 4511 Access Point receives its
configuration from its connected Summit WM3400, WM3600 or WM3700 controller or
another Altitude 4511 Access Point in Virtual Controller AP Mode.
The Altitude 4511 Access Point can be ordered for US deployment (Part Number 15761),
ordered for deployment in the European Union regulatory doman (Part Number 15782), or
the rest of the world (Part Number 15762).
