Access Point Overview

C-460E is a multi-radio 802.11be access point. Refer the datasheet for more information.

Note: This equipment is suitable for use in environment air spaces (plenums).

 

FCC Advisory: C-460E is prohibited for control of or communications with unmanned aircraft systems, including drones, in the 6 GHz band.

This section provides an overview of the access point (AP) and describes the following:

Front Panel

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

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 states:

Table 1. Power LED 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. It means the AP receives 802.3at instead of 802.3bt.

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 802.3bt compliant PoE++ LAN ports to power the device and connect it to a wired LAN.

LAN 1 10 Gigabit Ethernet with 802.3bt compliant PoE RJ-45 11.5/8.6/1.4 Gbps Ethernet
LAN 2 10 Gigabit Ethernet with 802.3bt compliant PoE RJ-45 11.5/8.6/1.4 Gbps Ethernet

Side Panel

The side panel of the AP has a reset pinhole, USB port, and console port.

Console Establish ‘config shell’ terminal session through a serial connection. RJ-45
  • RS 232 Serial (115200 bits per second)
  • Data bits:8; Stop bits: 1
  • Parity: None
  • Flow Control: None
USB USB 2.0 port with power output rating of 5V/0.3A (1.5W). USB Future Use
Reset Reset to factory default settings port. Hold down and power cycle the device to reset. Pinhole push button N/A

 

When you reset the AP, it affects the following settings:

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