NETWORK port connection is as follows:
If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over Ethernet cable from the NETWORK port of
the J-box to the computer’s Ethernet port.
If connecting to a HUB, SWITCH, or ROUTER, use a Straight-Thru cable.
Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
Use Ground Lug to ground PoE device and shielded CAT5
Use voltmeter contacts to check line voltage (can be done with or without load)
Wiring Diagram
Both green LEDs on the J-box should be lit, indicating power is present at the J-box as well as the radio.
You are now ready to configure the radio via the Ethernet port.
Radio Management Concepts
Proper connections to the radios and careful IP/routing & planning will enable the network administrator
to access and manage the radios remotely over the network via TCP/IP. Radio management over
TCP/IP can be performed from computers connected to the Ethernet side of each radio. Computers
connected to the AP can manage the SU over their wireless connection; and, computers connected to
the SU can manage the AP, provided that switch 7 (TCP/IP access to AP from SU) is enabled at the AP.
Switches will be covered later in this text.
Opmode
To fully understand radio management for the M2400S system, it is important to be familiar with the
concept of operation mode or “opmode”.
APs and SUs can be in one of two opmodes; “OFF” opmode, or “ON” opmode. When in “OFF” opmode,
the AP is not transmitting and it is not attempting to associate with SUs. Alternatively, when opmode is
“ON”, the radio is transmitting and attempting to become associated.
