Figure 1. Rear Panel Components

The components are listed in Table 1.

Table 1. Components on the Rear Panel

Field Description
Kensington Lock Lock to secure the access point. For information, refer to “Kensington Lock” on page 37.
Console Port The Console port is for manufacturing purposes only.
Reset Button The Reset button returns the parameter settings on the access point to their default settings. For information, refer to “Reset Button” on page 24.
LAN Port The LAN port connects the access point to your wired network. It supports PoE+. If you connect the port to an Ethernet switch that supports PoE+, you do not have to use the AC/DC adapter to power the device. For information, refer to “LAN Port” on page 21.
DC Power Connector This connector is for the AT-TQ0091Power Adapter. The access point can be powered with PoE+ on the LAN port or the power adapter. The AT-TQ0091 Power Adapter does not come with the access point. It must be ordered separately from Allied Telesis.

LAN Port

	The LAN port is used to connect the device to your Local Area Network (LAN), typically through an Ethernet switch.
Power over Ethernet	The AT-TQ4600 Access Point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+) on the LAN port. The unit is a PoE+ class 4 powered device with a maximum power consumption of 16 watts. When the port is connected to a PoE+ Ethernet switch, the unit receives its power over the network cable that carries the network traffic. If you use the PoE+ feature, you do not need to use the AC/DC power adapter that has to be purchased separately.
Connector Type	The LAN port has an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. The port uses four pins at 10 or 100 Mbps and all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. The pin assignments are listed in “LAN Port” on page 47.
Speed	The LAN port can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speed is set automatically with Auto-Negotiation. You cannot disable Auto-Negotiation on the port.
	NoteThe LAN port should be connected to a network device that also adjusts its speed with Auto-Negotiation. If the network device does not support Auto-Negotiation, the LAN port operates at 10 Mbps, which may reduce network performance.
Duplex Mode	The LAN port can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode at 10 or 100 Mbps, and full-duplex mode at 1000 Mbps. The port is IEEE 802.3u-compliant and uses Auto-Negotiation to set the duplex mode. (You cannot disable Auto-Negotiation on the port.)
	NoteThe LAN port should be connected to a network device that also sets its duplex mode with Auto-Negotiation. If the network device does not support Auto-Negotiation, the LAN port operates at half-duplex mode. This may result in a duplex mode mismatch if the network device is operating at full duplex.
Maximum Distance	The LAN port has a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
Cable Requirements	The cable requirements for the LAN port are listed in Table 2 on page 22.

Table 2. Twisted Pair Cable for the LAN Port

Cable Type	10Mbps 100Mbps 1000Mbps
	Non-PoE+	PoE+	Non-PoE+	PoE+	Non-PoE+	PoE+
Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Category 3 shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and 16 MHz frequency.	Y	e	s	N	o	N
Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant Category 5 shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance and 100 MHz frequency.	Yes Yes	Yes Yes	No No

Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Category 6 or 6a shielded cabling.	Yes Yes	Yes Yes	Yes Yes

Automatic MDIX Detection

The 10/100/1000 Mbps twisted-pair port is IEEE 802.3ab compliant and features automatic MDIX detection when operating at 10 or 100 Mbps. (Automatic MDIX detection does not apply to 1000 Mbps.) This feature automatically configures the port to MDI or MDI-X depending on the wiring configuration of the port on the Ethernet switch.

You may not disable automatic MDIX detection. For automatic MDIX detection to work properly, it must also be present on the Ethernet switch. The LAN port defaults to MDIX if it is connected to a network device that does not support automatic MDIX detection.

Port Pinouts

Refer to Table 9 on page 47 for the port pinouts of the LAN port when it is operating at 10 or 100 Mbps in the MDI configuration and Table 10 on page 48 for the MDI-X configuration. Refer to Table 11 on page 48 for the port pinouts when the port is operating at 1000 Mbps.

The LEDs on the AT-TQ4600 Access Point are described in Table 3.

Table 3. LEDs on the AT-TQ4600 Access Point

LED State Description

2.4GHz Solid	Green The 2.4GHz radio is sending and receiving radio waves.
5GHz Solid Green	Green The 5GHz radio is sending and receiving radio waves.

Note

You may turn off the LEDs with the management software.

Reset Button

The Reset button on the rear panel is used to return the parameter settings of the unit to their default values. You might use the button if you want to discard the current configuration of the device or because you forgot the password to the manager account and cannot manage the unit.

You may disable the button using the management software. If the unit is installed in a non-secure area, you might want to disable the button to prevent unauthorized individuals from pressing it and potentially disrupting the operations of your wireless network.

The Reset button is recessed to prevent it from being accidentally pressed. To press the button, use a pointed object, such as the end of a straightened paper clip. Hold the button for five seconds and release. The access point resets and loads its default configuration in a process that takes one minute to complete. In its default configuration, the access point attempts to contact a DHCP server from its LAN port for its IP address configuration. If it receives a response, it configures its IP address according to the settings from the DHCP server. If it does not receive a response, it uses the default address 192.168.1.230 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. For instructions on how to start a management session when the access point is at its default configuration, refer to "Starting the Initial Management Session on the Access Point" on page 38.

Installing the Access Point to a Wall or Ceiling

To attach the access point and mounting bracket to a wall or ceiling, perform the following:

Note

If you are using wall anchors, start with Step 1. If you are not using wall anchors, start with Step 4.

1. To install wall anchors, hold the access point at the selected wall or ceiling location, and with a pencil or pen, mark the locations of the two screw holes that are to be used to secure the access point through the two ears of the mounting bracket.
2. If necessary, pre-drill the holes for the anchors.
3. Install the wall anchors.
4. Have someone hold the bottom of the access point against the selected wall or ceiling location while you secure it to the wall or ceiling with two self-tapping screws (not provided with the access point).

Cabling the Access Point

To install cabling on the access point, perform the following:

1. If the access point is to be powered with the AT-TQ0091 Power Adapter, connect the DC cable from the adapter to the DC 12V port on the access point. Refer to Figure 5 on page 31.

2. If you have not already done so, connect the network cable from the wireless access point to a port on an Ethernet switch.

3. Do one of the following:

☐ If the access point is using PoE, the installation is complete. Go to "Kensington Lock" on page 37 or "Starting the Initial Management Session on the Access Point" on page 38.
☐ If the access point is using the AT-TQ0091 AC/DC Power Adapter, perform the rest of this procedure to check and, if necessary, change the AC plug on the adapter.

1. Check the AC plug on the AT-TQ0091 AC/DC Power Adapter to see if it is the correct plug for your region. If it is not the correct plug, remove it by pushing down on the release tab and sliding it from the slot on the adapter. Refer to Figure 6 on page 31.
2. Slide the correct plug for your region into the slot on the adapter until it clicks into place. Refer to Figure 7 on page 32.
3. Connect the adapter to an appropriate AC power source. Refer to Table 7 on page 46 for the power specifications of the power adapter.

After installing the access point on a wall or ceiling, go to "Kensington Lock" on page 37 or "Starting the Initial Management Session on the Access Point" on page 38.

Kensington Lock

A Kensington lock can be used to secure the device when it is installed on a wall, ceiling, or table. The lock is located on the rear panel (see Figure 11.)

Figure 11. Kensington Lock

Starting the Initial Management Session on the Access Point

When you power on the access point for the first time, it queries the subnet on the LAN port for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server responds to its query, the unit uses the IP address the server assigns to it. If there is no DHCP server, the access point uses the default IP address 192.168.1.230.

There are a several ways to start the initial management session on the access point. One way is to establish a direct connection between your computer and the unit by connecting an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the computer and the LAN port on the access point. This procedure requires changing the IP address on your computer to make it a member of the same subnet as the default IP address on the access point. You might perform this procedure if your network does not have a DHCP server and you want to configure the access point before connecting it to your network.

The initial management session may also be performed while the device is connected to your network. However, If your network does not have a DHCP server, you still have to change the IP address of your computer to match the subnet of the default address of the access point. Furthermore, if your network is divided into virtual LANs (VLANs), you have to be sure to connect the access point and your computer to ports on an Ethernet switch that are members of the same VLAN.

If your network has a DHCP server, use the IP address the server assigns it to start the management session.

The instructions for starting the initial management session are found in the following sections:

☐ “Starting the Initial Management Session with a Direct Connection” on page 39
☐ “Starting the Initial Management Session without a DHCP Server” on page 40
☐ “Starting the Initial Management Session with a DHCP Server” on page 40

Note

The initial management session of the access point has to be conducted through the LAN port because the default setting for the radios is off.

Starting the Initial Management Session with a Direct Connection

To start the management session with a direct Ethernet connection between your computer and the access point, perform the following procedure:

Note

If the unit is using PoE for power, and you did not order an AC/DC adapter with the unit, you cannot perform this procedure because it requires removing the network cable from the LAN port. Instead, perform one of the other procedures in this section to start the initial management session.

1. Connect one end of a network cable to the LAN port on the access point and the other end to the Ethernet network port on your computer. (This requires removing the network cable that you connected to the LAN port earlier in these instructions.)
2. Change the IP address on your computer to 192.168.1.n, where n is a number from 1 to 254, but not 230. Refer to the documentation that accompanies your computer for instructions on how to set the IP address.
3. Set the subnet mask on your computer to 255.255.255.0.
4. Power on the access point.
5. Start the web browser on your computer.
6. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.230 in the URL field of the browser.

You should now see the logon window, shown in Figure 12.

Starting the Initial Management Session without a DHCP Server

This procedure explains how to start the initial management session on the access point when the LAN port is connected to an Ethernet switch on a network that does not have a DHCP server. To start the management session, perform the following procedure:

1. If your network has VLANs, check to be sure that your computer and the access point are connected to ports on the Ethernet switch that are members of the same VLAN. This might require accessing the management software on the switch and listing the VLANs and their port assignments. For example, if the access point is connected to a port that is a member of the Sales VLAN, your computer must be connected to a port that is also a member of that VLAN. If your network is small and does not have VLANs or routers, you may connect your computer to any port on the Ethernet switch.
2. Change the IP address on your computer to 192.168.1.n, where n is a number from 1 to 254, but not 230. Refer to the documentation that accompanies your computer for instructions on how to set the IP address.
3. Set the subnet mask on your computer to 255.255.255.0.
4. Power on the access point.
5. Start the web browser on your computer.
6. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.230 in the URL field of the browser. You should now see the logon window, shown in Figure 12 on page 39.
7. Enter "manager" for the username and "friend" for the password. The username and password are case-sensitive.

Starting the Initial Management Session with a DHCP Server

This procedure explains how to start the initial management session on the access point when the LAN port is connected to a network that has a DHCP server. This procedure assumes that you have already configured the DHCP server to assign the access point all the necessary configuration information (for example, IP address and default gateway) for your network. To start the management session, perform the following procedure:

1. Power on the access point.
2. Start the web browser on your computer.
3. Enter the IP address of the access point in the URL field of the browser. This is the IP address assigned to the unit by the DHCP server. If you do not know the address, refer to the DHCP server.

4. You should now see the logon window in Figure 12 on page 39.

5. Enter "manager" for the username and "friend" for the password. The username and password are case-sensitive.

Setting the Country Setting

You should set the country setting during the initial management session of the access point to ensure that the device operates in compliance with the codes and regulations of your region or country.

Note

The non-US model of this product has a country code setting that must be set during the initial management session of the unit. The setting ensures that the unit operates in compliance with the laws and regulations of your country or region.

For the US model, the country code is preset and cannot be changed. Per FCC regulations, the country code setting for all WiFi products marketed in the US must be fixed to US operational channels only.

To set the country setting, perform the following procedure:

The access point displays a confirmation prompt.

1. Click OK to change the country setting or Cancel to cancel the procedure.

If you click OK, the access point changes the country setting and disables both radios on the access point.

This procedure does not require clicking the Update button.

You must now reboot the access point. The new country setting is not active until the unit is rebooted. To reboot the unit, either power off and on the unit or continue with these steps:

1. From the Maintenance menu, select Configuration.

2. Click the Reboot button in the To Reboot the Access Point section of the "Manage the Access Point's Configuration" window.

3. When the access point displays a confirmation prompt, click OK to reboot the unit or Cancel to cancel the procedure.
