Security Slot
The access point includes a Kensington security slot on the rear panel. You can prevent
unauthorized removal of the access point in several ways: by wrapping Foundry’s locking clamp (lock
not provided) or by using a Kensington security cable (not provided).
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console device to the access point through a serial cable. This
connection is described under “Console Port Pin Assignments” on page B-3. The console device can
be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
Reset Button
This button is used to reset the access point or restore the factory default configuration. If you hold
down the button for less than 5 seconds, the access point will perform a hardware reset. If you hold
down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes you may have made are removed,
and the factory default configuration is restored to the access point.
Power Connector
The access point does not have a power switch. It is powered on when connected to the AC power
adapter, and the power adapter is connected to a power source. The access point automatically
adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
The access point may also receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a switch or other network device
that supplies power over the network cable based on the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Note that if the access point is connected to a PoE source device and also connected to a local
power source through the AC power adapter, power will be taken from the PoE source.
