Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Power

The Power port connects to the supplied 12VDC power adapter.

Ethernet

The Ethernet network port connects to Ethernet network devices, such as a switch or router
that may or may not support Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Reset Button

There are two ways to reset the Access Point to the factory default configuration. Either press
the Reset button, for approximately ten seconds, or restore the defaults using the Access
Point's Web-based Utility.

Antennas and Positions

The Access Point’s port are located on the back of the device. The Access Point can be placed in three different
positions. It can be either stackable, standalone, or wall-mount.

Antenna

The Access Point has three non-detachable 2dBi omni-directional antennas. The three
antennas have a base that can rotate 90 degrees when in the standing position. The three
antennas will all be used to support 2X3 MIMO diversity in wireless-N mode.

IMPORTANT: Resetting the Access Point will
erase all of your settings (including wireless
security, IP address, and SSID) and replace
them with the factory defaults. Do not reset
the Access Point if you want to retain these
settings.
