Access Point Port and Network Cables

Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs
The access point includes one 10/100Base-TX port. This port uses the "HP Auto
MDIX" feature, which means that you can use either straight-through or
crossover twisted-pair cables to connect the access point to a switch.

All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be
twisted through the entire length of the cable. The wiring sequence must
conform to EIA/TIA 568-B (not USOC). See "Twisted-Pair Cable Pin
Assignments" later in this appendix for a listing of the signals used on each
pin.
For 10 Mbps connections to the ports, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5
unshielded twisted-pair cable, as supported by the IEEE 802.3 Type
10Base-T standard.
For 100 Mbps connections to the ports, use 100-ohm Category 5 UTP cable
only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3u Type 100Base-TX standard.
To provide Power over Ethernet to the access point, all 4 pairs must be
connected for any network cable attached to this port; the cable must
meet ISO/DIS 11801 Class D requirements and IEEE 802.3af requirements.
