The cable is not included with the access point but can be ordered separately.

  • Page 3: Observing Safety Precautions

    The access point receives power and data through the RJ-45 ports. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) cable with straight-through signaling and standard RJ-45 connectors to connect an access point to a WX switch or other device in the network. The access point supports 802.3af, and also can receive PoE from 3Com switches and 3Com-approved power injectors.

  • Page 4: Unpacking The Access Point

    WARNING: Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the local codes, national codes, and safety directors of the location for usage constraints. WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the access point hardware during periods of lightning activity. NOTE: The access point is intended for indoor use only.

  • Page 5: Connecting External Antennas

    3Com cable includes a separate 50 Ohm SMA terminator. The 3Com antennas are dual-band, which means that they operate in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectra. You can use these antennas with either the 802.11b/g radio or the 802.11a radio.

  • Page 6: Cable Requirement

    Cable Requirement The Ethernet ports on the access point cannot accept a Category 5 cable that has an uneven sheath such as the one shown in the figure below. The RJ-45 connector on the cable will not seat properly in the receptacle on the access point.
