Minimum Software Requirements
The OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704 require AOS-W 3.2.0 or later.
AOS-W software builds prior to version 3.2.0 do not support the OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704. If
your network currently runs on a software build prior to 3.2.0, you must upgrade the software on your
master and local switches to 3.2.0 or later prior to installing an OmniAccess 4504, 4604, or 4704 WLAN
Switch in your existing network.

Hardware Model Overview
NOTE
The master switch, its redundant master switch, and all of its local switches must run on the same
code of AOS-W. Once you upgrade your network and install an OmniAccess 4504, 4604, or 4704
WLAN Switch into your network, verify that the software version on your switch matches the rest of
the network. If the code shipped on the switch is prior to the version that you upgraded your
network to, you must upgrade the code on the switch to match the rest of the network.
NOTE
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the
carton, including the original packing materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to
the supplier if needed.
NOTE
Optional accessories, such as SFP modules, are available for use with an OmniAccess 4504, 4604,
or 4704 and are sold separately. Contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales representative for details and
assistance.
NOTE
The physical hardware overview covers all three switches: the OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704 .
The difference between the three switch models is dependent on the licensing level purchased,
which is covered in About the OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704 on page 7. The switch model
depicted in the illustrations throughout this section is the OAW-4504.

1000Base-X (SFP) Ports
There are four 1000Base-X combination ports for fiber connectivity only and are intended for use with
Alcatel-Lucent SFPs (mini-GBICs).
To purchase compatible SFP modules, contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales representative for details and
assistance.
10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Ports
There are four 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports. Gigabit Ethernet uses all eight wires
and each pair is used in a bi-directional fashion, meaning the same pairs are used for both data
transmission and reception. Figure 2 illustrates the CAT-5 pin-out found on an RJ-45 connector. The
CAT-5 pin-out pairs the following pins on a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/
8.

NOTE
Ports zero through three are dual-media ports and can utilize either the 1000Base-X or 10/100/
1000Base-T connections provided. However, the 1000Base-X fiber connection has priority over the
10/100/1000Base-T copper connection. If a link is detected for the 1000Base-X interface, the 10/
100/1000Base-T connection will be disabled.
NOTE
Alcatel-Lucent tests and supports Alcatel-Lucent optics within their switch systems. Third party
optics are not tested or supported; therefore, Alcatel-Lucent does not guarantee proper functionality
of third party optics when used in an Alcatel-Lucent system.
