Introduction
The AP 300 Access Port, a component of the Symbol Wireless Switch
System, links wireless 802.11a/b/g devices to the switch, enabling
incremental growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective
alternative to standard access points. For optimal performance, the AP
300 provides two placement options: wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots
fit onto two screws provided. Arrows on the AP 300 case guide
placement of the screws. For placement above a suspended ceiling, a
safety cable tie point on the case provides for a loop of regulatory safety
cable, and the light pipe, a pair of small pipes, fits through a hole in the
ceiling tile to provide a view of the AP 300’s status lights.
The AP 300 receives all power and transfers data through the same
CAT-5 cable without any strain relief. There is no additional power
supply.

Description
The AP 300 Access Port has two radios capable of concurrent 802.11a/
b/g radio configurations. The AP 300 external version supports external
antennas listed in Supported Antennas on page 9. The AP 300 takes
power from any 802.3af-compatible Power Over Ethernet (PoE) switch
or power injector.
