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
“GE Uplink Ports” on page 22 for port, LED, and cable
specifications.

access the text-based Command-Line Interface (CLI) for initial configuration of
the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. It can also be used for switch management
and troubleshooting.
The port accepts an RS-232 serial cable an RJ-45 male connector. See “Serial

Fans/heat exhaust (on side)
Four independent fans promote proper air circulation for cooling the Alcatel
Wireless LAN Switch.
During operation, the air vents on the left and right sides of the chassis must
remain unobstructed by cables or mounting equipment. For proper air
circulation, leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clearance on the left and right of
the chassis.

Power Input Socket (on back)
The power input socket on the back of the switch accepts a power cord with
a standard IEC320 connector. For proper safety and performance, the power
cord must be rated to 10 A and conform to grounded electrical standards in
the country where the product is operated.
