This section describes the instructions for connecting Ethernet cables to
the LAN1 and LAN2 ports.
Review the following guidelines before connecting cables to the LAN1 and
LAN2 ports:
For information on cable specifications, see "Cable Requirements"
on page 31.
If you are installing the access point on a ceiling or wall, you might
find it easier to connect the cables before placing the unit on the
mounting bracket.
You must use port LAN1 if you are connecting only one LAN port
to the network.
To power the access point through PoE+ LAN port(s), see "PoE+
Power Requirements" on page 60.
To use both LAN1 and LAN2 ports, you have to connect them to
the same network device. The device must support static LAGs.
The default setting for the LAN2 port and static LAG on the
wireless access point is disabled. You enable them with the
on-board web browser management interface. For instructions,
see the TQ6000 GEN2 Management Software User's Guide.
Note
Do not enable the LAN2 port until you have configured the other
network device for the static LAG.
To connect the network cables, perform the following procedure:
1. To cable LAN1 port, connect an Ethernet cable into the port. The cable
requirements are in "Cable Requirements" on page 31. Refer to
Figure 22.
