User Manual

9
There are two small pushbutton switches on the PCB. The lower button is used if you wish to
reset the 2480AA AP to factory default settings. You should use this button if you forgot or lost
the user name and/or password to the AP. The reboot button only reboots the AP. It does not
change any settings.
If you are installing the 2480AA AP at this time, place the weatherproof grommet over the end
of an unterminated length of outdoor-rated CAT-5 cable so that it will seat into the hole marked
CAT-5. Install the RJ-45 plug and test to make sure that all 8 conductors make contact. Seat the
weatherproof grommet into the hole on the bottom of the 2480AA enclosure and allow about 2”
of cable to extend inside. Place the locking nut over the RJ-45 plug and screw onto the end of
the weatherproof grommet and tighten securely. The CAT-5 cable should be free to slide within
this grommet. Plug the cable into the RJ-45 jack, then tighten the grommet to prevent the cable
from moving.
The Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injector
The Telex Wireless CPE uses a PoE injector to supply DC power to the device. To test or
configure the 2480AA AP, install another RJ45 plug to the other end of your exterior CAT-5
cable and connect this end to the PoE box in the socket marked ANTENNA. Also connect one
end of the supplied 7 foot CAT5 patch cable in the socket marked COMPUTER. The other end
of this 7 foot cable will plug into the Ethernet port of your computer or into a hub or switch port.
Plug the supplied 18 volt 1 amp supply into a standard 110VAC outlet or power strip. Plug the
other end of this DC supply into the PoE box in the socket marked DC.
