Getting Started • Connect a Cat-5 (straight through) Ethernet cable (we recommend shielded twisted pair) between the Radio port of the J-box and the RJ-45 connector on the radio. Note: this cable will carry power-over- Ethernet (PoE). • NETWORK port connection is as follows: If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over Ethernet cable from the NETWORK port of the J-box to the computers Ethernet port. If connecting to a HUB, SWITCH, or ROUTER, use a Straight-Thru cable.

Getting Started Opmode To fully understand radio management for the M2400S system, it is important to be familiar with the concept of operation mode or Opmode. APs and SUs can be in one of two Opmodes (ON or OFF). When in Opmode OFF, the AP is not transmitting and is not attempting to associate with any SUs. Alternatively, when in Opmode ON, the radio is transmitting and attempting to become associated. Several functions, such as the site survey function and the SU
