Hardware Installation
190 AP-4131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
4.3 Requirements
The minimum installation requirements for a single-cell,
peer-to-peer network:
• a power outlet
• an AP antenna.
The 4131 AP supports a 10/100Base-T unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wired
LAN cabling connection. For management user interface access to the serial
connector, use a standard null-modem cable for direct serial connection.
Order a null-modem cable, part number 61383-00-0, by contacting a
Symbol sales representative.
Test and use the radio network with an MU.
4.3.1 Network Connection
Locate connectors for Ethernet and power on the back of the AP.
Ethernet configurations vary according to the environment. Determine the
Ethernet wiring to connect the 4131 AP, 10/100Base-T UTP or single cell.
The site survey determines the number of APs to install and their location.
4.3.2 10/100Base-T UTP
Use a 10/100Base-T connection for an AP attached to a wired UTP Ethernet
hub. Normal 10/100Base-T limitations apply.
To connect the 10/100Base-T UTP:
1. Plug the data cable RJ-45 connector into the AP RJ-45 connector.
2. Plug the other end of the data cable into the LAN access port (possibly a
hub or wall connection).
