includes four status LED indicators, as described in the following
figure and table.
Ethernet RJ-45 Ports
The
Mini AP Router
has the following RJ-45 ports:
• The RJ-45 LAN port is for connection to a PC or to a 10/100 Mbps.

you to use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or
hubs.

Power Socket
The
Mini AP Router
does not have a power switch. It is powered on when connected
to the AC power adapter, and the power adapter is connected to a power source.
The power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts at 50
or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
Reset Button
The Reset button can be used to restart the Mini AP Router or restore the factory
default configuration. If you press the button for less than 5 seconds, the
Mini AP
Router
will restart. If you press and hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any
configuration changes you may have made are removed and the
Mini AP Router
is
restored to its factory default configuration.
WPS SET Button
Use the WPS SET button on the Mini AP Router to automatically connect multiple
devices to the network. Within two minutes, press the physical or virtual button on
wireless client devices to enable them to join the WLAN.
The WPS configuration process may be initiated on any device and there is no
restriction to the order in which buttons are pressed.
Note: Any WPS-compatible devices could unintentionally join the WLAN if they are
within range during the two-minute set up period after the WPS SET button is
pressed.
