3.1.3 Panel Function Descriptions

Front Panel

y LED: There are four kinds of LED, Power, Status, WAN and LAN, to indicate different status of the system. y WAN1/WAN2: The two WAN ports are connected to a network which is not managed by the Edimax AC-M 3000

system, and this port can be used to connect the ATU-Router of the ADSL, the port of a cable modem, or a

switch or a hub on the LAN of a company. y LAN1~LAN8: Clients’ machines connect to Edimax AC-M3000 via LAN ports. Each LAN po rt can be configured

to one of the two roles, controlled or uncontrolled. The differences of these two roles for a client connected to

are:

¾ Clients connected to the controlled port need to be authenticated to access network.

¾ Clients connected to uncontrolled port don’t need to be authenticated to access network and can access the

web management interface.

Rear Panel

y Reset: Press this button to restart the system. y Console: The system can be configured via a serial console port. The administrator can use a terminal

emulation program such as Microsoft’s HyperTerminal to login to the configuration console interface to change

admin password or monitor system status, etc. y DC+12V: The power adapter attaches here.

User’s Manual

3.1.4 Installation Steps

Please follow the following steps to install Edimax AC-M3000:

1. Connect the 12V power adapter to the power socket on the rear panel. The Po wer LED should be on to i ndicate

a proper connection.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN1 Port on the front panel. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to

a ADSL m odem, a cable m odem or a switch/hub of the network. Th e LED of WAN1 port should be on to indicate

a proper connection.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN5~LAN8 Ports on the front panel. Conne ct the other end of the

Ethernet cable to an administrator’s PC. The LED of the connected port should be on to indicate a proper

connection. (Note: The default role of these four ports is Uncontrolled Port.)

4. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN1~LAN4 Ports on the front panel. Conne ct the other end of the

Ethernet cable to a client PC, AP or switch in manag e d network. The LED of the connected port should be o n to

indicate a proper connection. (Note: The default role of these four ports is Controlled Port.)

Attention:

1. Edimax AC-M3000 supports Auto Sensing MDI/MDIX. You may use either straight through or cross over cable

to connect the Ethernet Port.

2. Usually a straight cable could be applied when Edimax AC-M3000 connects to an Access Point which supports

automatic crossover. If af ter the AP hardware resets, the Edimax AC-M3000 could not be able to connect to the

AP while connecting with a straight cable, the user have to pull out and plug-in the straight cable again. This

scenario does NOT occur while using a crossover cable.

After the hardware of Edimax AC-M3000 is inst alled completely, the system is ready to be configured in the following sections.
