immediately verify the cable connection when you plug the cable into the access point.
You can connect the access point directly to a 3Com Wireless LAN Controller port or indirectly to
3Com Wireless LAN Controllers through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case, use
Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling for each access point connection.
