analyzes the 802.11 frames, extracts meaningful data points to determine key attributes and

transmits these to the server appliance. This sensor has two radios (one 802.11a and one 802.11 b/

g) and scans both frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) simultaneously.

3.2 Component Description

3.2.1 Ethernet Ports

The 510 has two RJ-45 ports. Each port provides a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection to the

network. The 510 sensor receives power and data through the RJ-45 ports.

The 510 sensor is designed to receive power only from an 802.3af-compliant source, an 802.3af

compliant switch, or an AirDefense-approved power injector. Connecting a sensor to a PoE-device

that is not approved by AirDefense can damage the equipment.

3.2.2 External Antennas Connectors

The Model 510 Sensor has two threaded, standard SMA connectors for attaching optional external

antennas.

3.2.3 Kensington Security Slot

The sensor includes a Kensington security slot on the rear panel. You can prevent unauthorized

removal of the sensor by wrapping the Kensington security cable (not provided) around an unmovable

object, inserting the lock into the slot, and turning the key.

3.2.4 Mounting Bracket

A mounting bracket is included with each 510 sensor.

WARNING! The external connectors on the 510 are labeled: 11B/G and 11A. Each

connector is a standard SMA connector. Make sure you attach the

antenna to the correct connector.

3.2.5 Console Port

This port can be used to connect a console device to the access point through a serial cable. The

console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.

3.2.6 Ethernet Port

The sensor has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be attached directly to 10BASE-T/

100BASE-TX LAN segments. These segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3 or 802.3u

specifications.

This port 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 sensor to a workstation or

other device that does not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable.

The 510 is designed to receive power only from an 802.3af-compliant source, an 802.3af compliant

switch, or an AirDefense-approved power injector. Connecting a sensor to a PoE-device that is not

approved by AirDefense can damage the equipment.

3.2.7 Power Connector

The sensor 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 sensor power adapter automatically

adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.

The sensor may also receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a switch or other network device that

supplies power over the network cable based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Note that if the sensor is

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

adapter, PoE will be disabled.

NOTE The RJ-45 port also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE

802.3af standard.

3.2.8 LEDs

The 510 has three Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that indicate sensor status. The standard orientation

or positioning for the Model 510 Sensor is to have all LEDs at the bottom of the device (smiley face).

Following is a description of the individual LED indicators:

• LED 1 (bottom left) = Radio Activity Indicator

• LED 2 (center) = Power & Hardware Indicator

• LED 3 (bottom right) = Network Connectivity Indicator

The Ethernet ports on the 510 sensor cannot accept a CAT 5 cable that has an uneven sheath such

as the one shown below. The RJ-45 connector on the cable will not seat properly in the

receptacle on the access point. Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath instead.

4.3 Model 510 Mounting Options

You can mount a 510 sensor on any of the following types of surfaces:

• Suspended T-bar ceiling

• Junction box

• Solid surface wall or ceiling

• Tabletop

WARNING! Installation must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

Please follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the

product or included in the documentation. The manufacturer is not

responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized

modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the

user's authority to operate the equipment. The 510 sensor has two RJ-

45 10/100TX ports. The 510 sensor receives power and data through the

RJ-45 port. Use a CAT 5 straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the

510 sensor to a wireless switch or other device in the network. The 510

sensor supports 802.3af, and also can receive Power over Ethernet (PoE)

from AirDefense-approved power injectors.

WARNING! If you plan to use an external antenna for the 802.11b/g or 802.11a

radio, install the antenna at least 20 cm from the sensor.

NOTE The solid surface mounting option requires CAT 5 cable that does not

have strain relief. The other mounting options can use CAT 5 cable with

or without strain relief.

Model 510 Sensor: Installation Guide

4.4 Wall Installation Recommendations

If you plan to install a 510 on a partial wall or other vertical surface, orient the top of the access point

(the side with the LEDs) toward the intended coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through the

top of the access point but not through the bottom (where the bracket is). This recommendation does

not apply if you plan to use external antennas. You can orient the antennas independently of the

sensor itself. Orient an external antenna to face the intended coverage area.

4.5 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Requirements

The Model 510 Sensor is designed to receive power only from an 802.3af-compliant source, an

802.3af compliant switch, or an AirDefense-approved power injector. Connecting an access point to

a PoE-device that is not approved by AirDefense can damage the equipment.

4.6 Before You Begin

Please read the following before you begin:

• Do not operate the 510 sensor near unshielded blasting caps or in an otherwise explosive

environment unless the device has been modified for such use by qualified personnel.

• Do not touch or move the 510 sensor when the antennas are transmitting or receiving.

• Do not hold any radio device so that the antenna is very close to or touching the face, eyes,

or other exposed body part while the device's radio antenna is transmitting.

• Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the local codes, national

codes, and safety directors of the location for usage constraints.

• Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the 510 sensor hardware during

periods of lightning activity.

• The 510 sensor is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the device outdoors.

• To reduce the possibility of connection interference caused by dust, clean the CAT 5

connector pins before inserting a cable into the 510 sensor.
