Radio Characteristics
The ProCurve Radio Port 230 comprises two 802.11 radios: (1) a 802.11 b/g radio operating in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz band
and (2) an 802.11a radio operating in the 4.9 to 5.875 GHz band. The ProCurve Radio Port 210 has a single 802.11b/
g radio. Both units contain two embedded 2.4-2.5GHz omni-directional diversity antennas and the Radio Port 230 also
contains two embedded 4.9-5.875 GHz omni-directional diversity antennas.
The following table lists the 802.11-compliant operating modes. The three supported 802.11g modes are
simultaneous CCK and OFDM, CCK only, or OFDM only.
Integrated RJ-45 Port
The ProCurve Radio Port 230 and 210 has one RJ-45 connector supporting a full-duplex 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet port
and requires IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) from an external source such as a PoE switch or
power injector. This Ethernet port is configured as an MDI port and can be connected to any MDIX switch port using
standard straight-through CAT-5 Ethernet cables. For details on cable pinouts, see the Appendices of the 'Installation
and Getting Started Guide' for your ProCurve switch. Installers can use a single CAT-5 cable to supply both Ethernet
connectivity and power to the Radio Port allowing these Radio Ports to be installed up to 100 m (300 ft.) from a PoE-
compliant 10/100 Ethernet port. There is no additional power supply required.
LED Indicators
Each Radio Port has LED indicators on the front of the case that visually display the status of the device. The LED
indicators display connection status and error conditions, as well as network activity for the individual radios in the
Radio Port.
