USB Port
The 300 Series is equipped with a USB port for connectivity
with cellular modems and other USB client devices. When
powered by an 802.3at PoE or DC power source, the USB port
can supply power up to 5W/1A. The USB interface is disabled
when the access point is powered by an 802.3af PoE source
(power-save mode).
Console Port
The serial console port is a 4-pin connector covered by a dust
cover. An optional serial adapter cable (AP-CBL-SER) is sold
separately to connect the device to a serial terminal or a
laptop for direct local management.
Ethernet Port
The 300 Series access points are equipped with one
10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX Ethernet port.
This port supports wired-network connectivity, in addition to
Power over Ethernet (PoE) from IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at
compliant power sources.
This device accepts 56V DC (802.3at), or 48V DC (802.3af)
nominal as a standard powered device (PD) from power
sourcing equipment, including PoE midspan injector or a
PoE-sourcing network infrastructure.
Kensington Lock Slot
The 300 Series access points are equipped with a Kensington
lock slot for additional security.
