Hardware Overview

This chapter provides a detailed hardware overview of the EAP.
Ceiling Mount Access Point
Front Panel
The EAP is equipped with a system LED that indicates the system status on the front panel.

* When the Locate feature is activated in the Omada Controller, the LED will flash quickly for 10 minutes to help you locate and identify the device. You can disable this feature manually to stop the device from flashing.
Rear Panel
The ports, buttons, and other parts are located on the rear panel and may vary by model.

Note: For an AP with a Cable Compartment Cover, to avoid device damage, do not insert any objects into the holes for attaching the cover!

Note: For EAPs with a 10 Gbps port, using a CAT5e cable limits the Ethernet port ‘s 10 Gbps link to less than 55 meters. To achieve longer transmission distances, use a shielded CAT6A cable.
