Cabling the AP-700

Connect cables to the AP as follows:
1. Provide power to the AP, as follows:
a. Plug the power cord into the power jack (the left port) and connect the unit to an AC power outlet (100~240V,
50~60Hz).
b. If using Active Ethernet, connect power to the unit from a DC injector device, such as the ORiNOCO 1-Port Active
Ethernet DC Injector hub.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the AP's LAN port (the center port, labeled "LAN") and the other end to a
network hub or switch.
3. Optionally, connect an RS-232 cable to the RS-232 console port (the right port, labeled "RS-232").
NOTE: You cannot install the security cover to the AP-700 if an RS-232 cable is connected.

5. When the AP-700 boots, it performs a series of self-tests.
6. Wait for the power LED to turn green before proceeding.

Installing the Security Cover

You can optionally install a security cover to deter unauthorized access to the AP-700. The security cover is a plastic
cover that prevents access to the cabling and to the Reset and Reload buttons.
NOTE: You cannot connect an RS-232 cable to the AP-700 when a security cover is installed.
1. Slide the hinging end of the security cover into the hole on the rear panel of the AP-700 to the left of the connectors.
2. Use two screws to screw the right side of the security cover to the RS-232 screw holes on the rear panel of the
AP-700.

Mounting the AP-700

Proxim recommends that you have a site survey professionally conducted to determine the best location for the AP. For
professional site surveyors, Ekahau Site Survey software is included in the Xtras folder on the Installation CD-ROM.
Once you have chosen a final location for your unit, mount the AP-700 to a wall, to a T-bar ceiling, or in a vehicle as
described below.
