Wireless Network Manager
The Wireless Network Manager is Proxim’s premier management tool for Access Points and Outdoor Routers. It
provides a single management interface that lets an IT manager configure, manage, upgrade, and troubleshoot
thousands of wireless devices from anywhere in the world. The Wireless Network Manager simplifies network
maintenance and easily integrates in an existing SNMP management system.
See Proxim’s Web site at http://www.proxim.com for more information on the Wireless Network Manager.
Active Ethernet
The AP-600 is equipped with an 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module. Active Ethernet (AE) delivers both data
and power to the access point over a single Ethernet cable. If you choose to use Active Ethernet, there is no difference
in operation; the only difference is in the power source.
– The Active Ethernet (AE) integrated module receives ~48 VDC over a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
– To use Active Ethernet, you must have an AE hub (also known as a power injector) connected to the network.
– The cable length between the AE hub and the Access Point should not exceed 100 meters (approximately
325 feet).
– The AE hub is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
– If connected to an AE hub and an AC power simultaneously, the Access Point draws power from Active
Ethernet.
– Maximum power supplied to an Access Point is 11 Watts; the unit typically draws approximately 10 Watts.

The AP-600’s 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module is backwards compatible with all ORiNOCO Active
Ethernet hubs that do not support the IEEE 802.3af standard.
