Alcatel-Lucent ap70 User Manual

Part 031644-00

May 2005

Manual provisioning requires this procedure. You must use the serial console 
breakout adapter cable to be able to access the serial console interface to the 
Alcatel AP70 while allowing the device to be powered by the AC adapter or 
POE (from an Alcatel Wireless LAN switch).

2-3  OmniAccess OAW-AP70 Console Topologies

The LAN connections are optional unless POE is used to power the AP.

Console Access to the AP

2-4  Connecting Directly to the AP

1.IEEE 802.3af-complaint devices like the Alcatel AP70 use the same wire pairs for
data versus for power. Within the 802.3af standard, there are two sub-specifications
on how wire pairs are assigned. Alcatel conforms to 802.3af, subparagraph a. If your
POE installation uses all-Alcatel equipment, you are assured proper operation. How-
ever, if you use non-Alcatel POE equipment, make sure it conforms to the same stan-
dard that Alcatel uses. Using POE equipment using IEEE 802.3af subparagraph b
wiring assignments, or POE equipment not conforming to the 803.2af standard may
result in damaged equipment.
