3Com WL-575 Outdoor Building-to-Building Bridge
and Access Point Features
Feature
Description
Console Port
Connector
Connect the console cable (included) to the RS-232 console port for accessing the
command-line interface.
POE Connector
The PoE port serves two functions, one in providing a means to supply power to the
unit and two as an Ethernet port providing access to the web browser interface.
The Ethernet port provides a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection to a 3Com Wireless
LAN switch. The connection can be direct to a 3Com switch or indirect through an
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
Use a standard Category 5e cable or better with straight-through signaling and
standard RJ-45 connectors to connect the bridge to the switch on the network.
The bridge should be powered via proprietary Power Over Ethernet (PoE) power
injector.
LEDs
The LEDs indicate power and activity. See “Checking the LED Indicators” on page 11
for details.
Antenna Connectors
Three N-type female antenna connectors allow you to connect antennas that operate
in 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.
