2 GE ports
The GE ports can provide high-bandwidth uplinks between the Alcatel
Wireless LAN Switch and the wired LAN. The GE port sockets accept a variety
of Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) for versatility in selecting optical and
electrical interfaces. See
page 52 for port and cable specifications.
Each GE port has its own LNK/ACT LED, located to the right of the port.
During operation, these LEDs provide the following status information:

FE Ports
There are two models of Alcatel 6000-series Line Card, each with different
port characteristics:
z
The Alcatel 6000-series Line Card (OAW-LC-2G24F) has 24 FE ports
The FE ports provide 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections to APs and wired LAN
segments. No power or serial connectivity is provided by the ports on this line
card.
z
The Alcatel 6000-series SPOE Line Card (OAW-LC-2G24FP) has 24
FE+SPOE ports.
When connected directly to an IEEE 802.3af POE compatible device, the port
will provide power and data connectivity through the same cable. For devices
that support compatible serial wiring or include an appropriate serial breakout
adapter, such as the Alcatel Wireless Access Point, the port will provide serial
connectivity as well as power and data.
