Access Point Overview

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

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

Front Panel

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

Power LED

The following table describes the Power LED states:

Table 2. 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 is receiving lower than the required maximum power from the PoE++ switch. This means that the AP receives 802.3at instead of 802.3bt.

LAN1 LED - ON when the corresponding interface is UP.

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

Radio LEDs - ON when the corresponding radio becomes 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 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 a ‘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 a 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, the following settings also change:
  • The Config shell password resets to config.
  • Erases the server discovery value and changes 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 is set to DHCP mode with the factory default IP address of 169.254.11.74.
