Connecting Ethernet Cables to LAN1 and LAN2 Ports
Here are the instructions for connecting Ethernet cables to the LAN1 and
LAN2 ports. For information on cable specifications, refer to “Cable
Requirements” on page 29. Please review the following guidelines before
connecting cables to the LAN1 and LAN2 ports:
 If you are installing the wireless access point on a ceiling or wall,
you might find it easier to connect the cables before placing the
unit on the mounting bracket.
 You must use port LAN1 if you are connecting only one LAN port
to the network.
 To power the wireless access point with PoE+, connect LAN1 port
to a PoE+ source device. For power specifications, refer to “PoE+
Power Requirements” on page 59.

To use both LAN1 and LAN2 ports, you have to connect them to
the same network device. The device must support static LAGs.
 The default setting for the LAN2 port and static LAG on the
wireless access point is disabled. You enable them with the
on-board web browser management interface. For instructions,
refer to the
TQ5403 Series Management Software User’s Guide .
Note
Do not enable the LAN2 port until you have configured the other
network device for the static LAG.
To connect the network cables, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect one Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 LAN1 port. Refer to
Figure 17.
If the other end of the Ethernet cable is already connected to a PoE+
source device, the access point immediately begins to power on and
initialize its management software.
