INTRODUCTION
Ethernet Port
The access point has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be
attached directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments. These
segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3-2005 specifications.
This port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or
hubs.

Reset Button
The Reset button is used to restart 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.

Connect the Ethernet Cable – The access point can be
connected to any 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet network device, such
as a hub or a switch. Connect your network to the RJ-45 port on
the back panel using category 3, 4, or 5 UTP Ethernet cable.
When the access point and the connected device are powered on,
the ETHERNET LED should turn on indicating a valid network
connection. If the ETHERNET LED fails to turn on, refer to
“Troubleshooting”.
