Access Point Overview

C-430 is a Wi-Fi 7 multi-radio 802.11be access point. Refer the datasheet for more information.

Note: This equipment is suitable for use in environment air spaces (plenums).
This chapter provides an overview of the access point (AP) and describes:

Front Panel

The front panel of the AP has 6 LEDs that indicate the status of various AP functions.

Label Description
1 Power
2 2.4 GHz Radio
3 5 GHz Radio
4 6 GHz Radio
5 LAN1
6 LAN2

Power LED: The following table describes the Power LED indicator states.

Table 2. Power LED Indicator States Description
  Green Orange
Solid Running at full capability Running at reduced capability
Blinking Received IP address, but not connected to the server Did not receive an IP address

Reduced capability indicates that the AP receives less than the required maximum power from the PoE+ switch. The AP receives 802.3af instead of 802.3at.

LAN1 LED: ON when the corresponding interface UP.

LAN2 LED: ON when the corresponding interface UP and either wired guest or link aggregation configured.

Radio LEDs: ON when the corresponding radio operational.

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the AP has a DC power port and 802.3at compliant PoE+ LAN ports to power the device and connect it to a wired LAN.

Reset

Reset to factory default settings port. Hold down and power cycle the device to reset.

 Pinhole push button NA

When you reset the AP, the following settings also reset:

  • The Config shell password resets to config.
  • Erases the server discovery value and changes it to the default, redirector.online.spectraguard.net (primary) and wifi-security-server (secondary).
  • The AP loses all the VLAN configurations.
  • If the AP has a static IP configured, the reset erases the IP address and the AP sets to the DHCP mode with the factory default IP address of 169.254.11.74.
