Network Connection
Locate the Ethernet port and power plug on the back of the AP, as shown by items
2 (power plug) and 3 (Ethernet port) in the figure below. Item 1 is the serial port.
Ethernet configurations vary according to the environment. Determine the
Ethernet wiring to connect the AP, 10BASE-T UTP, or single cell.
10BASE-T UTP
Use a 10BASE-T connection for multiple APs or an AP attached to a wired UTP
Ethernet hub. Normal 10BASE-T limitations apply.
1
Plug the data cable with an RJ-45 connector into the AP Ethernet port.
2
Plug the other end of the data cable into the LAN access port (possibly a hub or
wall connection).
3
Add additional APs as needed.
Single Cell
The single-cell connection option allows a single AP to connect wireless clients
without a wired network. Wireless clients appear as peers, as in any Ethernet
environment.
