Ports
The OmniAccess 4308 Wireless LAN Switch has a number of 
different ports, each with their own purpose:
Eight Fast Ethernet (FE) ports
Used for connecting to Access Points (APs) and wired LAN 
segments. These 10/100 Mbps FE ports aggregate and route 
traffic under the direction of the switch’s internal software. These 
ports can also provide power and serial connectivity to 
compatible devices.
One Gigabit Ethernet (GE) port
Used for high-bandwidth 10/100/1000 Mbps GE uplink between 
the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch and the wired LAN. Depending 
on the model, one copper or optical interface is available.
One Serial Console port
Used for connecting a local configuration and management 
console.
This chapter describes the general features and physical 
characteristics of the various ports and details their compatible 
cables and connectors.
