Power Supply Connector

The BSAP does not have a power switch. It is powered on when connected to the 

supplied AC power adapter, and the power adapter is connected to a power 

source. The BSAP automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts at 

50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
The BSAP may also receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a model BSC-400 

Controller, switch or other network device that supplies power over the network 

cable based on the IEEE 802.3af standard.
Note that if the BSAP is connected to a PoE source device and also connected to 

a local power source through its AC power adapter, PoE will be disabled.

Mounting Bracket Screw

If you are wall-mounting the BSAP, use this captive screw to secure the BSAP to its 

mounting bracket.

Ethernet/PoE Connector

The BSAP has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 connector that can be attached 

directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments to provide a full-duplex link. 

These segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3 or 802.3u specifications. 
This connector uses an MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin configuration. You 

can therefore use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect this port to most 

network interconnection devices such as a switch or router that provide MDI-X 

ports.
However, when connecting the BSAP to a workstation or other device that does 

not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable.
The BSAP appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function by 

moving packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless 

infrastructure.
The Ethernet/PoE RJ-45 connector also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) based 

on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Note that if the BSAP is connected to a PoE source 

device and also connected to a local power source through the AC power 

adapter, PoE will be disabled.

Reset Button

Use this button to reset the BSAP or restore its factory default configuration. If you 

hold down the button for less than 5 seconds, the BSAP will perform a hardware 

reset. If you hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration 

changes you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration 

is restored to the BSAP.

Serial Console Port

Use this port to connect a console device to the BSAP via a serial cable. The 

console device can be a laptop PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal 

emulation program, or a VT-100 terminal.
