Installing the wireless AP 420 ww/na
Installation Procedures

6. Connect the Network Cable

Connect the network cable, described under “Cabling Infrastructure” 
(page 2-4), from the network device or your patch panel to the RJ-45 port on 
the access point.

Using the RJ-45 Connectors

To connect:
Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 
jack until the tab on the plug clicks 
into place. When power is on for the 
access point and for the connected 
device, the 10/100BASE-T link LED 
should light to confirm a powered-on 
device (for example, an end node) is 
at the other end of the cable.

If the 10/100BASE-T link LED does 
not

 go on when the network cable is 

connected to the port, see “Diag-
nosing with the LEDs” in chapter 4, 
“Troubleshooting”.

To disconnect:
Press the small tab on the plug and pull the plug out of the jack

.

7. Position the Antennas on the Access Point

The antennas emit signals along a toroidal plane – and thus provide more 
effective coverage when positioned along alternate axes. For example, you 
might position the antennas around 45 to 90 degrees from each other.

The access point also compares the strength of an incoming signal on both 
antennas, and uses the antenna receiving the stronger signal to communicate 
with a wireless client.
