IMPORTANT: Once the 9160 is configured and rebooted the first time, the DHCP should be
disabled—unless the 9160 obtains its IP address from a server.
LAN Installation: Ethernet
The 9160 is a high-performance controller that supports 100Mb/s Fast Ethernet LANs, as well as 10Mb/s,
with both full and half duplex operation. It comes equipped with a 10BaseT/100BaseT card (using a
category-5 twisted pair cable, an RJ-45 connector, running at a rate of 10 or 100Mb/s).
NOTE: The 9160 does not support any connection type other than Ethernet 10BaseT and 100BaseT.
For a description of port pinouts, refer to "Appendix B: Port Pinouts and Cable Diagrams" in the 9160
Wireless Gateway User Manual.
Ethernet Cabling
The maximum cable segment length allowed between repeaters for the 9160 (10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet
cabling) is 100 m.
Status Indicators (LEDs)
The high-performance 9160 has six status indicators on the front of the enclosure, as shown in Figure 3.
The
and coloured LEDs on the front of the unit indicate the operating status for each port, as
numbered
described in Table 3.
