Installing the Access Point
Step 6. Connect the Network Cable
Connect the network cable, described under ““Cabling Infrastructure” on
page 2-8
, from the network device or your patch panel to the LAN port on the
access point.
Using the RJ-45 Connectors
To connect:
Push the RJ-45 plug into the LAN port
until the tab on the plug clicks into
place. When power is on for the
access point and for the connected
device, the 10/100Base-TX link LED
should light to confirm a powered-on
device (for example, a switch) is at
the other end of the cable.
If the 10/100Base-TX link LED does
not go on when the network cable is
connected to the port, see “
Diag-
nosing with the LEDs” in Chapter 5,
“
Troubleshooting”.
To disconnect:
Press the small tab on the plug, and
then pull the plug out of the port.
