Getting Started
AP-4000 Hardware Description
The Dual Band REA is a dual band indoor antenna that works with both 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) and 5 GHz (802.11a) radios. The Dual Band
REA can be used with either radio on the AP-4000. The Dual Band REA allows for better antenna placement for optimizing cell size.

Antenna Diversity Options

With one Dual Band REA connected to one of the two antenna connectors on a radio, the AP supports antenna diversity (one embedded
antenna and one external REA) and one of the two embedded antennas is disabled.
With two Dual Band REAs connected to the two antenna connectors the AP supports antenna diversity (two external REAs) and both
embedded antennas are disabled.
Refer to the Specifications chapter for more information on the REA.

Active Ethernet

The AP-4000 is equipped with an 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module. Active Ethernet (AE) delivers both data and power to the access
point over a single Ethernet cable. If you choose to use Active Ethernet, there is no difference in operation; the only difference is in the power
source.
• The Active Ethernet (AE) integrated module receives ~48 VDC over a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
• To use Active Ethernet, you must have an AE hub (also known as a power injector) connected to the network.
• The cable length between the AE hub and the Access Point should not exceed 100 meters (approximately 325 feet). The AE hub is not a
repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
• If connected to an AE hub and an AC power simultaneously, the Access Point draws power from Active Ethernet.
Also see Hardware Specifications.
NOTE
The AP's 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module is backwards compatible with all ORiNOCO Active Ethernet hubs that do not
support the IEEE 802.3af standard.
