Figure 3-2 details the following ports and connections:
• PWR (power port)
• 5.8 GHz Antenna Port (Female N-Type connector)
• ETH (Standard Ethernet port. This port is not capable of sourcing power. This port
can be used to connect IP enabled devices that do not require PoE.)
• POE OPT (This port is capable of sourcing power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE) or
Canopy Connect (PoE) when a personality plug is attached to the Select port.)
The POE OPT port is by default the “backhaul port” when a MOTOMESH Duo device is operating as an
IAP. The backhaul detection mechanism is configured to look for a physical and logical connection on
this port. This detection mechanism can be configured via the webpage or One Point Wireless
Manager
™ application to use the standard ETH port if desired. Thus, when deploying IAPs the POE
OPT port should be used by default to connect to the switch / router supporting network. Note that in this
configuration a personality plug will NOT be connected to the Select port and NO power will be sourced
on the POE OPT port. If the IAP is being backhauled by a wireless bridge such as a Motorola Canopy
™
system then a personality plug may be connected to the Select port and source power on the POE OPT
port to power the Canopy backhaul radio.
