Extreme Networks Evaluation Guide: Altitude 4511 Access Point

Vital Information Before

We Begin

Power

The Altitude 4511 requires Power over Ethernet. Connect

an 802.3af PoE switch or PoE midspan injector to the

port labeled UP1/PoE on the back of the unit. The AP

will draw between 6.5W and 9W of power depending on

the number of Ethernet ports connected and the trans-

mission speed.

The AP takes three minutes to completely boot up. At two

minutes, the Web server is active and will respond to a

Web browser. However, the backend database will not

authenticate user login for another minute.

The Altitude 4511 can be accessed from a webUI or CLI.

This guide will use the webUI login.

The webUI requires the Adobe Systems ﬂash plugin. If it is

not installed, the webUI will prompt the administrator to

install ﬂash.

For instructions on upgrading the system ﬁrmware, see

the Appendix.
