Ports
The OmniAccess 4308 Wireless LAN Switch has a number of
different ports, each with their own purpose:
Eight Fast Ethernet (FE) ports
Used for connecting to Access Points (APs) and wired LAN
segments. These 10/100 Mbps FE ports aggregate and route
traffic under the direction of the switch’s internal software. These
ports can also provide power and serial connectivity to
compatible devices.
One Gigabit Ethernet (GE) port
Used for high-bandwidth 10/100/1000 Mbps GE uplink between
the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch and the wired LAN. Depending
on the model, one copper or optical interface is available.
One Serial Console port
Used for connecting a local configuration and management
console.
This chapter describes the general features and physical
characteristics of the various ports and details their compatible
cables and connectors.
