The front panel of the devices consists of three lights: Power, WLAN, and

see “Verifying the Hardware Installation”. A Kensington lock slot is found
under the lights.
Back Panel
The back panel of the devices consists of:
• Power Button—Use this button to turn the power on and off. It is not
applicable when using PoE.
• Power Jack—Use this jack if you are not using PoE.
• Kensington Lock Slot—Use to attach a cable and lock to the device.
• Reset—See “Rebooting the Devices or Returning them to their
Factory Default Settings” for information on the Reset button.
• RJ-45 Ethernet Port—Use this auto-sensing, Gigabit Ethernet (802.3)
port to connect to network devices, such as computers, routers, or
switches. Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5e or better cable
for Gigabit connectivity. You may use the Ethernet port to power your
device using PoE.
