Hardware interfaces

The bottom panel of the access point provides the DC power connector for an optional
power adapter, LAN 1/PoE++ port, LAN 2 port, and Reset button.
Figure 2. Hardware interfaces
The bottom panel contains the following components:
• DC power connector: If you do not use a PoE++ switch to provide power to the
access point, connect an optional power adapter to the DC power connector.
• LAN 1/PoE++ port: Use the LAN 1/PoE++ Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 LAN port to
connect the access point to a PoE++ switch, or if you use an optional power adapter,
to a non-PoE switch. You must use the LAN 1/PoE++ port for the access point network
connection. (Do not use the LAN 2 port for the network connection.)
If connected to 2.5 Gbps equipment, the LAN 1/PoE++ port supports Ethernet
speeds up to 2.5 Gbps within your LAN. If your Internet connection, modem, router,
and switch support a speed of 2.5 Gbps, the access point's Internet connection also
functions at 2.5 Gbps. Otherwise, the Internet connection functions at 1 Gbps, which
is a common speed.
For more information about the LAN 1/PoE++ port connection, see Set up and
connect the access point to your network on page 21.
• LAN 2 port: The LAN 2 port is a Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port that you can use to
connect the access point to the same switch as the LAN 1 port for a link aggregation
(LAG) connection. The switch must be capable of supporting a LAG connection,
which you must configure on the switch. For more information about setting up and
enabling a LAG on the access point, see Manage the link aggregation capability on
page 146.
• Reset button: You can use the Reset button to restart the access point or to reset
the access point to its factory default settings. To restart the access point, press the
Reset button for about two seconds. To reset the access point to factory default
settings, press the Reset button for 10 seconds or longer.
