LAN1 (PoE) Port –This Ethernet interface will be used to power the access
point through the P+DATA OUT proprietary PoE injector and provide
10/100Mbps network connectivity to the access point. Router mode only: The
LAN1 port interface will be used for wired WAN Internet connectivity when the
access point is configured in Router mode and wired LAN connectivity can be
used on the LAN2 port interface.
LAN2 Port –This Ethernet interface is a secondary 10/100Mbps LAN port
interface and can be used to also access the access point. The LAN2 port and
LAN1 (PoE) port are bridged for all modes except Router mode where LAN2 will
function as a wired LAN port and LAN1 port will function as wired WAN
Internet port.
LAN1 LED –When the LED is on, this indicates an active network connection to
the LAN1 port. If there is no active network connection to 10/100 DATA IN on
the proprietary PoE injector, there is no active link to the LAN1 port and LED
will be off. When the LED is blinking, this indicates data is being transmitted or
received on the LAN1 port.
LAN2 LED - When the LED is on, this indicates an active network connection to
the LAN2 port. If the LED is off, there is no active network connection to the
LAN2 port. When the LED is blinking, this indicates data is being transmitted or
received on the LAN2 port.
Power (PWR) LED –When the LED is on, this will indicate that the device is
receiving power and off if the device is not receiving power.
Reset Button –The reset button resets the access point to factory default
settings. Using a paper clip, push and hold the reset button for 15 sec. and
release. The LEDs will flash when the device reset has been initiated.
Connection Quality Indicators –These LEDs will indicate the wireless
connection quality to the wireless ISP network when using WISP (CPE) mode.
Grounding Screw –The grounding point/screw allows you to attach the unit to
a proper ground point.
Cable Guides/Removable tabs –With the enclosure cover installed, the cable
guides and removable tabs allows you to route RJ-45 cables and the ground
cable externally from the device while protecting the internal port connection
of the device to the network.
Important Note:
It is recommended to use RJ-45 cables without any additional caps, molded caps, or
boots specifically on the connector side that will be connected to the access point LAN1
(PoE) port to avoid any cable fitment issues inside the access point enclosure.
