2.3 AP 100 Access Port Description

The AP 100 Access Port provides the power of IEEE 802.11b Wi-Fi® compatibility to the wireless
LAN. The integrated (internal) 3.5 dBi omni-directional cross-polarized diversity antenna provides
strong wireless coverage, regardless of how the Access Port is mounted. The AP 100 Access Port
receives its firmware from the WS 2000 Wireless Switch, so the time-consuming process of loading
traditional access point firmware is eliminated.
The compact design allows installation on desktops, walls, above ceilings, or beneath ceilings. The
standard mounting base allows securing of the unit to most surfaces with two screws. The above-
ceiling mounting option secures the unit to the ceiling using the ceiling-mount light pipe screw.
Regardless of where the AP 100 Access Port is installed, LED lights are easily visible, providing visual
feedback on the state of the Access Port.
The AP 100 Access Port receives power and transfers data through the Ethernet cable using 802.3af-
compliant power from the wireless switch. No power supply or additional power source is necessary.
