Cable Ports
The access point has two RJ ‐ 45 ports. (See Figure 1 ‐ 2 .) Each port provides a 10/100BASE ‐ TX
Ethernet connection to a switch.
The AP receives power and data through the RJ ‐ 45 ports. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) cable with
straight ‐ through signaling and standard RJ ‐ 45 connectors to connect an AP to a RoamAbout
Access Point or other device in the network. The RBT ‐ 1602 and the RBT ‐ 1602C supports 802.3af,
and can receive PoE (Power over Ethernet) from Enterasys switches and Enterasys ‐ approved
power injectors. (See the Release Notes .)
The two RJ ‐ 45 ports support dual ‐ homed configurations for redundancy. An access point uses
only one link for booting, configuration, and data transfer. If the link becomes unavailable, the
access point can reboot using the other link. The ports are identical except for logical numbering
(1 or 2). You can use either port to connect an access point to a switch.
