Hardware Components
You can see the hardware components of the AP460C in the illustration below and read about them in the sections that follow.
Component Descriptions
Status Light
The status light, located between the two Ethernet ports, conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet and wireless
interface activity, and major alarms. At setup, this light cycles through the following sequence:
l
Solid White
: The power is on and the device is operational.
l
Solid Amber
: The device is on and is booting..
l
Blinking Amber
: The device is performing a firmware upgrade.
l
Dark
: The power is off.
Ethernet Ports
AP460C devices have two RJ45 Ethernet ports (Eth0 and Eth1) that automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex connections with the con-
necting device. The ports are autosensing and adjust to straight-through and crossover standard Cat2, Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 Ethernet cables
automatically. The AP receives power through an Ethernet connection to the ETH0 port from PSE (power sourcing equipment) that is compatible
with the 802.3at and 802.3at standards.
Micro USB Console Port
Remove the waterproof screw cap to access the micro USB port and the Reset button. Through the micro USB Console port you can make a
serial connection between your management system and the AP. When you connect to the device using the micro USB Console port, the man-
agement station from which you connect to the device must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro
©
(a free terminal emu-
lator) or Hilgraeve HyperTerminal
®
(provided with Windows
®
operating systems from XP forward). The serial connection settings are: 9600 bits per
second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
You can order a micro USB console adapter cable for this AP
.
To troubleshoot an AP460C, you must first uninstall it from the outdoor location.
