5 Network Connections This chapter focuses on making connections to the AP’s network interfaces, including 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.
Chapter 5 | Network Connections Cable Labeling and Connection Records Cable Labeling and Connection Records When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.
Chapter 5 | Network Connections Understanding the Network Status LED Understanding the Network Status LED The AP includes an LED indicator to indicate network link status and activity. The LED is shown below and is described in the following table. Figure 13: Network Status LED 1 1 Network Link/Activity Table 3: Network Status LED LED Condition Status Network Link/ Activity On Amber The 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or LAN interface has a valid link. Flashing Amber Flashing indicates network activity.
Chapter 5 | Network Connections How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port The connection between the AP’s RJ-45 port and a LAN switch requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections. The length of the cable must be less than 100m (328 ft).
Chapter 5 | Network Connections How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port 10/100BASE-TX Pin Most 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can Assignments use straight-through or crossover cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable.

6 AP Management The AP includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the AP using its embedded management software. To manage the AP, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage it through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), a web browser, or SNMP-based network management software. For a detailed description of the AP’s software features, refer to the Management Guide.
Chapter 6 | AP Management Understanding the System Status LEDs Understanding the System Status LEDs The AP includes LED indicators that indicate system and port status. The LEDs are shown below and are described in the following table. Figure 16: System Status LEDs 1 1 2 2 Network Link/Activity Power/Diagnostic Table 7: System Status LEDs LED Condition Status Power/Diagnostic On Green The AP is receiving power and operating normally. Flashing Green Initial system self-test in progress.
Chapter 6 | AP Management How to Connect to the Console Port How to Connect to the Console Port The RJ-45 Console port on the AP is used to connect to the AP for out-of-band console configuration. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. A console cable is supplied with the AP for connecting to a PC’s RS-232 serial DB-9 DTE (COM) port.
Chapter 6 | AP Management How to Connect to the Console Port Follow these steps to connect to the Console port: 1. Attach one end of the included console cable to a DB-9 COM port connector on the management PC. Use a USB to male DB-9 adapter cable (not included) if needed. 2. Attach the other end of the console cable to the RJ-45 Console port on the AP. Figure 18: Console Port Connection 1 1 Console Port 3.
Chapter 6 | AP Management How to Reset the AP How to Reset the AP The Reset button on the AP can be used to restart the device and set the configuration back to factory default values. Use a sharp object, such as the tip of a pen, to depress the Reset button. One push of the button restarts the system software using default values.
A Troubleshooting Diagnosing LED Indicators Table 9: Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off ◆ ◆ ◆ Power LED is Flashing Green ◆ ◆ Network LED is Off ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ Check connections between the power adapter and the wall outlet. Check the LAN connection if using PoE power. Contact your dealer for assistance. Power cycle the AP to try and clear the condition. If the condition does not clear, contact your dealer for assistance. Verify that the AP and attached device are powered on.
Chapter A | Troubleshooting Installation connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, the power adapter may be defective. Installation Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly.
Chapter A | Troubleshooting Out-of-Band Access Out-of-Band Access If you cannot access the on-board configuration program via a serial port connection: ◆ Be sure you have set the terminal emulator program to VT100 compatible, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and 115,200 Baud Rate. ◆ Check that the null-modem serial cable conforms to the pin-out connections provided in “How to Connect to the Console Port” on page 41.
