B/G
Security Slot
The access point includes a security slot on the rear panel. You can prevent unauthorized removal
of the access point by wrapping a Kensington security cable (not provided) around an unmovable
object, inserting the lock into the slot, and turning the key.
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console device to the access point through a serial cable. This
connection is described in Appendix
VT‐100 terminal emulator, or a VT‐100 terminal.
Ethernet Port
The access point has one 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX RJ‐45 port that can be attached directly to
10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX LAN segments. These segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3 or 802.3u
specifications.
This port uses an MDI (for example, internal straight‐through) pin configuration. You can use a
straight‐through twisted‐pair cable to connect the port to most network interconnection devices,
such as a switch or router that provide MDI‐X ports. However, when connecting the access point
to a workstation or other device that do not have MDI‐X ports, you must use a crossover
twisted‐pair cable.
The access point appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function by moving
packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.
Reset Button
This button is used to reset the access point, or to restore the factory default configuration. If you
hold down the button for less than five seconds, the access point will perform a hardware reset. If
you hold down the button for five seconds or more, ALL configuration changes you made are
removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the access point.
1-4 Introduction
802.11g or 802.11b
Radio Interface 2
Note: The RJ-45 port also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af
standard. Refer to the description for the
supplying power to the access point's network port from a network device, such as a switch, that
provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).
