Introduction
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.
Note: The RJ-45 port also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) based
on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Refer to the description for the
"Power Connector" for information on supplying power to the
access point's network port from a network device, such as a
switch, that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Reset Button
This button is used to reset the access point or restore the factory
default configuration. If you hold down the button for less than 5
seconds, the access point will perform a hardware reset. If you
hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration
changes you may have made are removed, and the factory
default configuration is restored to the access point.
Power Connector
The access point does not have a power switch. It is powered on
when connected to the AC power adapter, and the power adapter
is connected to a power source. The access point automatically
adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No
voltage range settings are required.
The access point may also receive Power over Ethernet (PoE)
from a switch or other network device that supplies power over
the network cable based on the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Note that if the access point is connected to a PoE source device
and also connected to a local power source through the AC
power adapter, PoE will be disabled.
