Item
RESET Button

Description
With the device powered on, press and hold the button for about 5 seconds until the LED flashes quickly. Then release the button. The device will restore to its factory default settings.

Ethernet Port (PoE)

The port is used to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data, or to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE switch, for both data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) via Ethernet cable.

Ethernet Port (for certain models)

The port is used to connect to a wired device.

Power Port

Plug one end of the power adapter to this port and the other end to a standard electrical wall outlet to power the EAP.

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.
