AP320 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AP320 is a multi-channel wireless access point. It is compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) and IEEE
802.11a/n (5 GHz) standards and supports a variety of Wi-Fi security protocols, including WPA (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) and WPA2.
You can see the hardware components on the AP320 in Figure 1. Each component is described in Table 1
"AP320 component descriptions".

Component Description
Status LEDs The status LEDs convey operational states for system power, firmware,
Ethernet interfaces, and radios. See "Status LEDs" on page 44.
ETH0 PoE port and ETH1 port The AP320 has two 10/100/1000-Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports—ETH0 and ETH1.
See "Ethernet Ports" on page 43.
48VDC power connector The 48-volt DC power connector (0.625 amps) is one of two methods
through which you can power the AP320. To connect it to a 100 – 240-volt
AC power source, use the AC/DC power adaptor that is available as an
extra option. Because the AP320 does not have an on/off switch,
connecting it to a power source automatically powers on the device.
Console port You can access the CLI by making a serial connection to the RJ45 console
port. See "Console Port" on page 43.
