LAN Port
The LAN port is used to connect the device to your Local Area Network
(LAN), typically through an Ethernet switch.
Power over
Ethernet
The AT-TQ3600 Access Point supports Power over Ethernet on the LAN
port. The unit is a PoE class 3 powered device with a maximum power
consumption of 11.4 watts. When the port is connected to an PoE Ethernet
switch, the unit receives its power over the network cable that carries the
network traffic. If you use the PoE feature, you do not need to use the AC/
DC power adapter that comes with the access point.
Connector Type
The LAN port has an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. The port uses four pins at 10
or 100 Mbps and all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. The pin assignments are
listed in “LAN Port” on page 59.
Speed
The port can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speed is set
automatically with Auto-Negotiation. You cannot disable Auto-Negotiation.
Note
The LAN port should be connected to a network device that also
adjusts its speed with Auto-Negotiation. If the network device does
not support Auto-Negotiation, the LAN port operates at 10 Mbps,
which may reduce network performance.
Duplex Mode
The LAN port can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode at 10 or 100
Mbps, and full-duplex mode at 1000 Mbps. The port is IEEE 802.3u-
compliant and uses Auto-Negotiation to set the duplex mode. You cannot
disable Auto-Negotiation on the port.
Note
The LAN port should be connected to a network device that also
sets its duplex mode with Auto-Negotiation. If the network device
does not support Auto-Negotiation, the LAN port operates at half-
duplex mode. This may result in a duplex mode mismatch if the
network device is operating at full duplex.
Maximum
Distance
The port has a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
Cable
Requirements
The cable requirements for the LAN port are listed in Table 2 on page 22.
