1 FINAL.Not for distribution. Introduction The AP 300 Access Port, a component of the Symbol Wireless Switch System, links wireless 802.11a/b/g devices to the switch, enabling incremental growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective alternative to standard access points. For optimal performance, the AP 300 provides two placement options: wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots fit onto two screws provided. Arrows on the AP 300 case guide placement of the screws.
2 AP 300 Quick Reference Guide FINAL.Not for distribution. Radio Characteristics The AP 300 is an IEEE a/b/g-compliant device with the appropriate radio option configured. The table below shows the characteristics for each device compliance.

3 FINAL.Not for distribution. Description The AP 300 Access Port has two radios capable of concurrent 802.11a/ b/g radio configurations. The AP 300 external version supports external antennas listed in Supported Antennas on page 9. The AP 300 takes power from any 802.3af-compatible Power Over Ethernet (PoE) switch or power injector.
4 AP 300 Quick Reference Guide FINAL.Not for distribution. The AP 300 receives power through the Ethernet cable, optionally connected to a Port Power Injector—for example, Symbol Model APPSBIAS-T-12-AF Power Injector 12 Port. See the Symbol web site for available PoE devices. Review installation plans to determine device placement and cable routing. The AP 300 Access Port comprises two 802.11 radios: an 802.11b/g radio operating in the 2.4 to 2.5Ghz band and an 802.11a radio operating in the 4.9 to 5.
5 FINAL.Not for distribution. 802.11a Activity LED Amber Booting The amber LED flashes three times per second until firmware is loaded. During boot, no 802.11a mobiles can associate. After adoption, the amber LED is steady or flashes with 802.11a radio traffic. The amber LED flashes once per second if an error prevents the 802.11a radio from operating normally. Normal Error 802.11b/g Activity LED Green Booting Normal Error The green LED flashes three times per second until firmware is loaded.
