Page 16: Component Description
Introduction Component Description Antennas The access point includes integrated diversity antennas for wireless communications. A diversity antenna system uses two identical antennas to receive and transmit signals, helping to avoid multipath fading effects. When receiving, the access point checks both antennas and selects the one with the strongest signal. - Page 17 Hardware Description Status Description Power Solid green Normal operation. All of the following are true: • Management link with a wireless switch is operational • Access point has booted • Access point has received a valid configuration from a wireless switch Slow blink Access point is booting and receiving green...
- Page 18 Introduction Status Description Solid green A client is associated with the radio, or the radio is in Sweep/Sentry mode. 11a and 11b/g Slow blink Radio is unable to transmit. This state (Wireless Link/ green can indicate inability to send a beacon Activity) (2 sec on/off) or radio failure.
- Page 19 Hardware Description However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device that does not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable. The access point appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function by moving packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.

Page 21: Hardware Installation
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation 1. Select a Site – Choose a proper place for the access point. In general, the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to place the access point in a position that can best cover its Basic Service Set. - Page 22 Hardware Installation Mounting on a wall – The access point should be mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent. To mount the access point on a wall, always use its wall-mounting bracket. a.

- Page 24 Hardware Installation 3. Lock the Access Point in Place – To prevent unauthorized removal of the access point, you can use a Kensington Slim MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the access point to a fixed object. 4. Connect the Ethernet Cable – The access point can be wired to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network through a device such as a hub or a switch.
- Page 25 Hardware Installation 6. Observe the Self Test – When you power on the access point, verify that the Power indicator stops blinking and remains on green, and that the other indicators start functioning as described under “LED Indicators” on page 1-4. If the Power LED does not stop blinking or turns on yellow, the self test has not completed correctly.

Page 31: Cables And Pinouts
Appendix B Cables and Pinouts Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. -
Page 32: 10/100Base-Tx Pin Assignments
Cables and Pinouts 10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). -
Page 33: Straight-Through Wiring
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments Straight-Through Wiring Because the 10/100 Mbps port on the access point uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use “straight-through” cable for network connections to hubs or switches that only have MDI-X ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting supports auto-MDIX operation, you can use either “straight-through”... - Page 34 Cables and Pinouts...
