The status light, located between the two Ethernet ports, conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet and wireless
interface activity, and major alarms. At setup, this light cycles through the following sequence:
lSolid White: The power is on and the device is operational.
lSolid Amber: The device is on and is booting..
lBlinking Amber: The device is performing a firmware upgrade.
lDark: The power is off.
Ethernet Ports
AP460C devices have two RJ45 Ethernet ports (Eth0 and Eth1) that automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex connections with the con-
necting device. The ports are autosensing and adjust to straight-through and crossover standard Cat2, Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 Ethernet cables
automatically. The APreceives power through an Ethernet connection to the ETH0 port from PSE (power sourcing equipment) that is compatible
with the 802.3at and 802.3at standards.
Micro USB Console Port
Remove the waterproof screw cap to access the micro USB port and the Reset button. Through the micro USB Console port you can make a
serial connection between your management system and the AP. When youconnect to the device using the micro USB Console port, the man-
agement station from which you connect to the device must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro©(a free terminal emu-
lator) or Hilgraeve HyperTerminal®(provided with Windows®operating systems from XPforward). The serial connection settings are: 9600 bits per
second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
You can order a micro USB console adapter cable for this AP here.
To troubleshoot an AP460C, you must first uninstall it from the outdoor location.
