CN1100 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7601 - 3.8 

The CN1100 Access Point is a compact form-factor base station used for communicating wirelessly 
with CN5100 Mobile Hotspots and other xMax bridge devices. The xMax CN1100 is an all-IP, high-
capacity, high-performance wireless access point that delivers wide-area coverage and reliability, 
even when there is significant interference. The CN1100 is totally protected against dust and 
moisture. 

 

The CN1100 is a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE++) device. The PoE++ standard enables transmission 
of both data and the power to operate a device over a single Cat5 cable connection.  

 

The CN1100 

REQUIRES

 a PoE++ adaptor, as supplied.  

The device will 

NOT

 operate with a low-power PoE switch or adaptor. 

 

 

Both Tx RF ports 

MUST 

be properly terminated  

before power is applied to the unit. 

 

Applying power without proper RF port  

termination might damage the unit  

and void the product warranty.
