Introduction

The AP650 access point, a component of the Motorola Wireless Controller System, links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n
devices to the controller, enabling growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective alternative to standard
Access Points. The AP650 access point provides two placement options: wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots fit onto
two screws provided. Arrows on the case guide placement of the screws. For placement above a suspended ceiling,
a safety wire tie point on the case provides for a loop of safety wire. The light pipe fits through a hole in the ceiling
tile to provide a view of the unit's status lights.
The AP650 access point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable.
There is no additional power supply required. An 802.3af Ethernet switch, PoE enabled controller or power injector
is required.
