Hardware Components
You can see the hardware components of the AP410C in the illustration below
and read about them in the sections that follow.
Component Descriptions
Status Light
The status light conveys operational states for system power, firmware
updates, Ethernet and wireless interface activity, andmajor alarms. The AP410C
has two status lights on the top of the chassis. At setup, this light cycles
through the following sequence:
- Solid White: The power is on and the device is operational..
- Solid Amber: The device is on and is booting..
- Blinking Amber: The device is performing a firmware upgrade.
- Dark: The power is off.
Light Sensor LED
The AP410C also has a light sensor on the top of the device.
Ethernet Ports
Two RJ45 Ethernet ports (Eth0 and Eth1) automatically negotiate half- and
full-duplex connections with the connecting device. Eth0 is 100/1000/2500
BASE-T, and Eth1 is 10/100/1000 BASE-T. These ports are autosensing and adjust
to straight-through and crossover standard Cat5 or better Ethernet cables
automatically. The AP receives power through an Ethernet connection to the
ETH1 port from PSE (power sourcing equipment) that is compatible with the
802.3at and 802.3at standards.
Micro USB Console Port Micro USB Console Port
Use the Console port to make a serial connection between your management
system and the AP. When you connect to the device using the Console port, the
management station from which you connect to the device must have a VT100
emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro© (a free terminal emulator) or
Hilgraeve HyperTerminal® (provided with Windows® operating systems from XP
forward).The serial connection settings are: 9600 bits per second, 8 data
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Reset Button
Use the Reset button to reset the device or restore the factory default
settings. Insert a paper clip or similar tool into the Reset pinhole and press
the button. To reboot the device, press the button for 5 seconds. To return
the configuration to the factory default settings, press it for at least 10
seconds. After releasing the button, the indicator light goes dark, and then
glows steady amber while the firmware loads and the system per-forms a self-
test. After the software finishes loading and the AP has connected to Extreme
Cloud IQ, the status indicator glows steady white. To prevent the reset button
from resetting the configuration, enter this command:
no reset-button reset-config-enable
When this command is enabled, pressing the button for 5 seconds will still
reboot the AP, but pressing it for more than 10 seconds will not reset its
configuration.
Security Slot
The AP410C has a security slot for locking the device.
