Network Connections

This chapter focuses on making connections to the AP’s network interfaces and 
details on network cable specifications.

The AP features one 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port as well as wireless interfaces. The 
sections that follow describe the network interfaces.

This chapter includes these sections:

◆

“Understanding the Network Status LEDs” on page 36

◆

“How to Connect to Radio Interfaces” on page 36

◆

“How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port” on page 37
