Step 4
. Connect the 30m CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the CB11 unit. Hand
tighten the connector.
Step 5.
Connect the remaining end of the 30m CAT 5 cable into the PoE
labeled AP/Bridge. This is the power side of the PoE that will power up the
CB11.
NOTE:
This connection is required for setting up initial configuration
information. After configuration is completed, the RS-232 null
modem console cable shall be removed, and run a cross-over
Ethernet cable from
Data Input Port
to PC, or a straight Ethernet
cable to LAN connection, e.g. Hub.
When the AirEther CB11 receives power over the Ethernet cable, the
AirEther CB11 will start its boot up sequence and the
Active
LED on the
Inline Power Injector will light up.
You can configure the AirEther CB11 via HTML browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from a remote host or PC.
