Introduction

The Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n devices to the
controller, enabling growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective alternative
to standard access points. The Brocade Mobility 650 provides two placement
options: wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots fit onto two screws provided. Arrows on
the case guide placement of the screws. For placement above a suspended ceiling,
a safety wire tie point on the case provides for a loop of safety wire. The light pipe
fits through a hole in the ceiling tile to provide a view of the unit’s status lights.

The Brocade Mobility 650 receives all power and transfers data through the same
CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable. There is no additional power supply required. An

802.3af Ethernet switch or power injector is required.
