cable is thus run from the 3e-531AP to the PoE-capable hub switch which
is then connected to the wired LAN and to a power source.
The 3e-531AP design includes an external Power Switch for the pur-
pose of disabling power to the unit for servicing or removal.
Although a safety interlock is provided on the unit to disable power
when the enclosure door is opened, AC and PoE power cables must be
disconnected prior to servicing or removing the device. This is a pre cau -
tion ary measure.
An additional Ethernet connector labeled "Local" is designated for use
during initial con guration. The installation team uses an RJ45 cable with
Circular con nec tor to connect the 3e-531AP to a laptop.
Indicator Lights
The top panel of the 3e-531AP con tains a set of in di ca tor lights (
Light
Emitting Diodes or
LEDs) that help describe the state of various network-
ing and connection operations.
This closeup shows the ground and one of the seals that
are standard on the FIPS 140-2 compliant 3e-531AP.
Note that the ground will be installed permanently on
installation of the unit and should not be disturbed after
that.

This light indicates the state of your connection to the
shipboard network. When on, the WAN light indicates
that the gateway is con nect ed to the net work. When
the WAN light is off, the gateway does not have an ac-

Error State
LED indicator
The Error State LED indicator will light to alert you if
the device enters Error State. If the 3e-531AP enters an
Error State, you must power down and up (using the
