LAN Port The AT-TQ5403 Access Point is equipped with two Ethernet ports - LAN1

and LAN2. The LAN1 port is capable of receiving PoE+ power (PD port) as
the primary power or standing by as the backup power source for an
external power supply unit.

For more information, see “Redundant Power Supply” on page 25.

Both LAN1 and LAN2 ports are capable of transmitting and receiving
Ethernet traffic and are typically connected to an Ethernet switch.

Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)

The AT-TQ5403 Access Point supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
on the LAN1 port. The access point is a PoE+ Class 4 powered device and
its maximum power consumption is 25.5 watts. When the LAN1 port is
connected to a PoE+ Ethernet power source and no external power supply
is connected, the access point receives its power over the same LAN1
network cable that carries the network traffic.

Connector Type

Both LAN ports have an eight-pin RJ45 connector. The port uses four pins
of the connector at 10/100 Mbps and all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. Refer to
the tables in “Port Pinouts” on page 51 for the pin assignments.

23

Chapter 1: Product Description

Note

Note

Speed

The LAN port can operate at 10/100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The speed is set
automatically with Auto-Negotiation. You cannot disable Auto-Negotiation
on the port.

The LAN port should be connected to a network device that also
adjusts its speed with Auto-Negotiation. If the network device does
not support Auto-Negotiation, the LAN port operates at 10 Mbps,
which may reduce network performance.

Duplex Mode

The LAN port can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode at
10/100 Mbps, and full-duplex mode at 1000 Mbps. The port is IEEE

802.3u-compliant and uses Auto-Negotiation to set the duplex mode. (You
cannot disable Auto-Negotiation on the port.)

The LAN port should be connected to a network device that also
sets its duplex mode with Auto-Negotiation. If the network device
does not support Auto-Negotiation, the LAN port operates at
half-duplex mode. This may result in a duplex mode mismatch if the
network device is operating at full duplex.

Automatic MDIX Detection

The 10/100/1000 Mbps twisted-pair port is IEEE 802.3ab compliant and
features automatic MDIX detection when operating at 10/100 Mbps.
(Automatic MDIX detection does not apply to 1000 Mbps.) This feature
automatically configures the port to MDI or MDI-X depending on the wiring
configuration of the port on the Ethernet switch.

You may not disable automatic MDIX detection. For automatic MDIX
detection to work properly, it must also be present on the Ethernet switch.
The LAN port defaults to MDIX if it is connected to a network device that
does not support automatic MDIX detection.

Port Pinouts

Refer to Table 12 on page 52 for the port pinouts of the LAN port when it is
operating at 10/100 Mbps in the MDI configuration and Table 12 on
page 52 for the MDI-X configuration. Refer to Table 13 on page 52 for the
port pinouts when the port is operating at 1000 Mbps.

24

Redundant Power Supply

The AT-TQ5403 Access Point offers a redundant power supply system. In
addition to the power supply through the DC IN jack, the access point has
one PoE+ capable LAN port (LAN1). The external power supply connected
to the DC IN jack is the primary power source for the unit. If the power
supply unit on the access point fails, power is supplied to the access point
via the PoE+ port. Table 1 shows power source for the
AT-TQ5403 Access Point under specific conditions.
