Enterasys Wireless AP3710/AP3725 Installation Guide 1-11
Common Architectural Features
Console Port
The WS-AP3710 and WS-AP3725 both include a single RJ45 console port (shown in Figure 1-1 on
page 1-3 and Figure 1-5 on page 1-7) for debug purposes. This port enables connection of a console
device to the AP through a serial cable. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a
VT-100 terminal adapter emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
LAN Port
The WS-AP3710 has one 10/100/1000BaseT RJ45 LAN port (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-3) that can be
attached directly to a 10/100/1000BaseT LAN segment. This segment must conform to the IEEE
802.3 or 802.3u specifications. The WS-AP3725 has two such ports, as shown in Figure 1-5 on
page 1-7.
The APs appear as Ethernet nodes and perform a bridging function by moving packets from the
wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.
The LAN ports also support power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3at standard. Refer
to “Installation” on page 2-1, for information on supplying power to the AP network port from a
network device, such as a switch, that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Reset Switch
The WS-AP3710 and WS-AP3725 both provide a Reset Switch to reset or restore factory default
configurations. Use a pen tip or a nail to press the switch button through the hole (located on the
top side of the AP). If you hold down the button for less than 5 seconds, the AP performs a
software interrupt, causing it to drop all connections and reset. If you hold the button down for 5
seconds or more, any configuration changes are removed, and the factory default configuration
restores to the AP.
Kensington Lock Slot
There is a slot for a Kensington lock on the top side of the AP. See Kensington lock documentation
for instructions on use of the lock.
