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.

Used for high-bandwidth 10/100/1000 Mbps GE uplink between
the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch and the wired LAN. Each port
socket accepts a variety of Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs)
for versatility in selecting optical and electrical interfaces.

Used for connecting a local configuration and management
console.
This chapter describes the general features and physical
