Cable Type

Cable Type specifies the type of Ethernet medium to which

the access point is connected. It is recommended that you

explicitly set the cable type. Settings are:

10BaseT
10Base2
AUI
Auto Detect

Setting

Description

10BaseT

Selects the RJ11 connector (sets type to

10BASE-T, twisted pair). The cable type

defaults to 10BASE-T if no traffic is heard on

any Ethernet port (10BASE2, 10BASE5, or

10BASE-T) during a 10-second time window

when the access point starts up.

10Base2

Selects the BNC connector (sets type to

10BASE2, thinnet).

AUI

Selects the AUI 15-pin D-sub connector (sets
type to 10BASE5 thicknet, and other types).

Auto Detect

(default)

Automatically selects the correct cable type by

listening for traffic on the Ethernet ports during

initialization. For this to work, the access point

must be connected to the Ethernet medium

during system start-up, and another device on

the Ethernet medium must be transmitting at

least one frame every 10 seconds.

[Static Addresses]

Use [Static Addresses] to define a list of 20 or fewer

permanent unicast 802 MAC addresses connected to this

Ethernet port. The Static Address Table displays the

addresses:
