wireless connectivity. These wireless products can also communicate with a 802.11n, 802.11g or 802.11b
wireless print server (if available).
To link your wired network with your wireless network, connect the Access Point’s Ethernet network port to any
switch or router with Power over Ethernet (PoE)—or a PoE injector, such as the Linksys WAPPOE or WAPPOE12.
Note that the 12 VDC on the WAPPOE12 is for the splitter output. Both PoE Injectors provide 48 VDC power output.
With these, and many other, Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at
www.linksys.com
for more information about wireless products.

Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Ethernet
The above diagram shows a typical infrastructure wireless network setup. The wireless Access Points are
connecting to a Linksys switch that provides power to the Access Points. Each Access Point can connect multiple
wireless devices to the network. This network will provide connectivity among wireless network devices and PCs
that have a wired connection to the switch.
The switch then can connect to a router that can connect to an ISP to reach global Internet.

Green. The WIRELESS LED lights up when the Access Point is successfully connected to a
wireless device. If the Wireless LED is flashing, the Access Point is actively sending to or
receiving data from a wireless device.
ETHERNET
Green. The ETHERNET LED lights up when the Access Point is successfully connected to a
device through the Ethernet network port. If the ETHERNET LED is flashing, the Access Point is
actively sending to or receiving data from one of the devices over the Ethernet network port.

Antennas and Positions
Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Ethernet
Power
The Power port connects to the supplied 12VDC power adapter.
Ethernet
The Ethernet network port connects to Ethernet network devices, such as a switch or router
that may or may not support Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Reset Button
There are two ways to reset the Access Point to the factory default configuration. Either press
the
Reset
button, for approximately ten seconds, or restore the defaults using the Access
Point's Web-based Utility.
Antennas and Positions
The Access Point’s port are located on the back of the device. The Access Point can be placed in three different
positions. It can be either stackable, standalone, or wall-mount.
Antenna
The Access Point has three non-detachable 2dBi omni-directional antennas. The three
antennas have a base that can rotate 90 degrees when in the standing position. The three
antennas will all be used to support 2X3 MIMO diversity in wireless-N mode.

IMPORTANT:
Resetting the Access Point will
erase all of your settings (including wireless
security, IP address, and SSID) and replace
them with the factory defaults. Do not reset
the Access Point if you want to retain these
settings.
