Manual Provisioning
Requirements
A console terminal (or workstation with terminal emulation software) with
an available serial communications port using a DB-9 male connector.
An Alcatel serial breakout adapter kit, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-3,
(not included). (See
Access to the OmniAccess AP60/61 FE port through one of the following:
Direct contact with the AP , or
If the AP is already deployed, you must have access to the end of the FE
cable that leads directly to the AP with no intervening hubs, routers, or
other networking equipment.
The cable must be an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP , straight-through FE
cable with RJ-45 connectors.
A power source for the OmniAccess AP60/61. Use one of the following:
An optional AC power adapter (not included) and an AC power outlet
rated at 100~240 V, 50~60 Hz, or
The OmniAccess AP60/61 FE port connected to an OmniAccess 4304,
OmniAccess 4308, OmniAccess 4324, or OmniAccess 6000 Wireless
LAN switch that supports IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE) via
a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP , straight-through FE cable.
N
—Only IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet is supported for manual provisioning.
OTE
"Inline" or "midspan" POE devices require Alcatel serial breakout adapter, Part
Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-4.
1.IEEE 802.3af-complaint devices like the AP60 and AP61 use the same wire pairs for data versus
for power. Within the 802.3af standard, there are two sub-specifications on how wire pairs are
assigned. Alcatel conforms to 802.3af, subparagraph a. If your POE installation uses all-Alcatel
equipment, you are assured proper operation. However, if you use non-Alcatel POE equipment,
make sure it conforms to the same standard that Alcatel uses. Using POE equipment using IEEE
802.3af subparagraph b wiring assignments, or POE equipment not conforming to the 803.2af
standard may result in damaged equipment.
