Introducing the ZoneFlex Access Point

Getting to Know the Access Point Features

LEDs

Use the six LEDs to check the status of the Access Point and cable modem. The LEDs

behave differently when the Access Point is in standalone mode and when ZoneDi-

rector is managing it. Upon bootup, the LEDs are in CM (Cable Modem) Mode. Once

bootup is completed, the LEDs alternate between CM Mode and AP Mode.

Refer to the ZoneFlex 7761CM Dual Band 802.11n Outdoor Access Point with

Integrated Cable Modem Installation Guide for more information on the CMAP LED

operation.

NOTE: The LEDs also do not indicate whether the AP is in standalone mode or if

ZoneDirector is managing the AP. To check if ZoneDirector is managing the Access

Point, log into the ZoneDirector Web interface, go to the Access Points page, and

then search for the Access Point’s MAC address. If you are unable to find the Access

Point, then it is very likely in standalone mode. If you have multiple ZoneDirectors on

the network, make sure you check each one of them.

Supported Power Sources

The CMAP supports the following power sources:

■ Power over Cable (POC): 40 to 90 VAC supplied through the RF coaxial cable

(attached to Connector B) that is connected to the cable modem termination

system (CMTS) backbone. POC is the primary and conventional source of power

for the CMAP.

■ DC power (via DC connector): External 12 VDC. Use this only when staging or

debugging the CMAP.

NOTE: PoE output is disabled when the CMAP is powered via the 12 VDC connector.

Heaters

The CMAP includes two built-in heaters (one for the Access Point and one for the

cable modem) that permit operation at extremely low temperatures. They are typically

on below 0º C (32º F).

The heaters are enabled by default. If preferred, the Access Point heater can be

disabled from the Web interface. The cable modem heater cannot be disabled.

Cable Modem Operation

Refer to the 7761CM Dual Band 802.11n Outdoor Access Point with Integrated Cable
