Used to attach RF cables (not included).
Signal In airOS®, you can modify the wireless signal strength threshold values for each
LED on the Wireless tab under Signal LED Thresholds. Each LED will light when the
wireless signal strength is equal to or greater than the LED’s threshold value. The default
values are shown below:
LAN The LAN LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made to
the LAN port and ash when there is activity.
Power The Power LED will light blue when the device is connected to a power source.
To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds
while the device is already powered  on. Alternatively, the device may be reset remotely
via a Reset button located on the bottom of the Gigabit PoE adapter.
The Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the
LAN and DHCP server.
