Hardware Description
Ethernet Compatibility
Accton’s Wireless Access Point can attach directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
(twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segments. These segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3
specification.
The access point appears as an Ethernet node and performs a routing function by moving
packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.
Radio Characteristics
The Wireless Access Point uses a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA).
It operates at the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band with
turbo mode. Data is transmitted over a half-duplex radio channel operating at up to
72 Megabits per second (Mbps) in the turbo mode, and with a maximum operating range
up to 500 m (1650 feet).
LED Indicators
The Wireless Access Point includes three status LED indicators, as described in the
following figure and table.
Figure 1. Status LEDs
LED Status Description
Power On Indicates that power is being supplied.
Flashing Indicates:
• running a self-test
• loading software program
• system errors (See “Troubleshooting” on page 27)
Ethernet Link/
Activity
(Green)
On Indicates a valid 100 Mbps Ethernet cable link.
Flashing Indicates that the access point is transmitting or
receiving data on the 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN. The
flashing rate is proportional to your network activity.
