Chapter 7: LAN1 and LAN2 Ports
104
Enabling or Disabling the LAN2 Port
The access point has two twisted pair ports, labeled LAN1 and LAN2.
They are used to connect the device to your wired network. Here are the
guidelines:
The ports feature Ethernet 10/100/1000T-Base.
Their speeds and duplex modes are set with Auto-Negotiation.
You cannot disable Auto-Negotiation. You should connect the
ports only to network devices that support Auto-Negotiation.
LAN1 port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). You can power
the access point using either a PoE source device, such as a PoE
switch or router, or the optional external AT-MWS0091 power
adapter.
You can connect either one or both ports to your network.
Connecting both ports doubles the bandwidth from the access
point to your network.
The default status for LAN1 port is enabled. It cannot be disabled.
The default status for LAN2 is disabled.
Use LAN1 port if you are connecting only one port to you network.
When both LAN1 ans LAN2 ports are connected to your network,
they function in static link aggregation. Consequently, the network
device to which you connect the ports must be configured for static
link aggregation.
Do not connect both LAN1 and LAN2 ports to your network until you
have configured the ports on the other device for static link
aggregation. Otherwise, a loop might form in the network topology,
which can result in poor network performance.
To enable or disable the LAN2 port, perform the following procedure:
1. Select Settings > LAN from the main menu. Refer to Figure 28 on
page 102.
The window has two sections. The LAN2 port is controlled with the
Link Aggregation Configuration section. For information on the VLAN
Configuration section, refer to “Configuring the Management VLAN” on
page 102.
2. From the Static LAG pull-down menu in the Link Aggregation
Configuration section, select one of the following:
Enabled: Activates the LAN2 port and combines LAN1 and LAN2
