Introduction

The WS2000 Wireless Switch provides centralized management of wireless network 
components across a wired network infrastructure. This wireless switch can connect directly 
to a cable or DSL modem, and can also connect to other wide area networks through a Layer 2 
or 3 device (such as a switch or router).

Product Description

The WS2000 Wireless Switch has the following features:
• One WAN port for connection to a DSL modem, cable modem, or any other Layer 2/3 

network device.

• Six LAN ports—four ports provide 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, the other 

two do not provide power. Each port has two LEDs, one indicating the speed of the 
transmission (10Mbits/sec. or 100Mbits/sec.), the other indicating whether there is 
activity on the port. 

• A serial port for direct access to the command-line interface from a PC. Use a DB-9 female 

to female null modem cable to connect to this port.

• A CompactFlash® slot provides administrative functions.

Installation

The WS2000 can operate in various locations, allowing placement in most environments. Basic 
installation steps entail the following:

1. Snap clear face plate (in WS2000 main box) onto the front-right side of the switch.
2. Select a site (desk, wall, or rack) for installation of the wireless switch.
3. Install in selected location using the instructions specifically for that location type.

Connect the wireless switch to the power supply early in the installation process 
for easy access to the connector; however, do not plug the power supply into a 
power source before installation is complete.

4. Plug the wireless switch into the wall power socket.
5. Lock device to desk, wall, or rack using lock port on the switch.
6. Plug in WAN and LAN (Access Port) connections.
7. Configure the product for your network and devices (see the WS2000 Wireless Switch   

System Reference available on the Motorola website).

Selecting a Site for Installation

The WS2000 can be installed on a flat surface, a wall, or in a rack. When selecting a site, the 
installer should verify the location has access to:

• A grounded outlet—preferably one that has surge protection or is protected by an  

uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

• The WAN connection for the switch (whether a modem, router, switch, or hub). 

(The wireless switch comes with a 6ft. (1.829m) patch cable for this purpose, but the 
installer is not required to use either that cable or stay within that distance.)

• The LAN connections for this switch (whether access port, switch, hub, or computer). 

Ensure this location meets optimal temperature and environmental requirements for the 
operation of this device (see Technical Specifications).

Desk Mounting

The desk mount option uses rubber feet which allow the unit to sit on most flat surfaces. 
The four (4) round rubber feet can be found in the WS2000 (main) box in a separate plastic bag.

1. Turn the switch upside down so the side with the power connector is facing up. 
2. Connect the power supply to the switch as shown in diagram.

Do not attach the power supply to the wall outlet until installation of the switch 
is complete.

3. Remove the backings from the four (4) rubber feet and stick them to the switch on the four 

circles, as shown. The feet will be right next to the four plugs.

4. Return the switch to the upright position in the place that you wish it to sit, ensuring that 

it is sitting evenly on all four rubber feet.

5. Connect the power supply to the wall outlet.

Wall Mounting

The wall mount bracket option secures the unit to most walls using the four screws included 
in the mounting accessories box. The wall mounting accessories are sold separately from the 
switch (KT-MTDP-WS-2000-WW or KT-MTG-WS-2000-WW).

1. Remove the protective rubber plugs from the switch as shown. 

To snap into the wall mount bracket, the protective rubber plugs must be removed.

2. Using the screws and wall anchors supplied in the mounting accessories box, attach the  

wall mount bracket to the wall as shown. 

Align the RJ-45 ports on the switch with the embossed port symbols on the front 
of the wall mount bracket.
