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 or 802.3u 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.
The access point appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function by
moving packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.
Note: The RJ-45 port also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af
standard. Refer “Power Connector” on page 1-7, for information on supplying power
to the access point’s network port from a network device, such as a switch, that
provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).
