To install the MP as shown below, place the holes vertically (not side to side). 2 Insert a mounting screw into each hole. Leave the screws about 6 mm (about 1/4 inch) above the surface. (Do not use the screws from the MP mounting kit. Use screws appropriate for anchoring the device to the wall or ceiling.

Chapt er 3 Connect ing a n M P t o a n M X Sw it ch You can connect an MP access point directly to an MX switch or indirectly to the switch through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. l To connect the MP directly to an MX switch, configure the MX switch port as an MP access port and use the following procedure to insert the cable into the MX switch and verify the link. l To connect the MP indirectly to an MX switch though the network, configure a Distributed MP connection on the MX switch.
Chapt er 3 1 Insert a Cat 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector as shown in 10/100 Cat 5 Cable Installation. For connection to an MP access point, use a straight-through cable. 2 When the link is activated, observe the MP LED for the port on the MX switch: M P LED Appea ra nce M ea ning Solid green For an MP access point’s active link, all the following are true: • MP access point has booted. • MP access point has received a valid configuration from the MX switch.
Chapt er 3 N ot e . An MX swit ch’s 10/ 100 Et hernet port s are configured as wired net work port s by default .

( See t he Trapeze Mobilit y Exchange I nst allat ion and Basic Configurat ion Guide.
A A M P Troubleshoot ing After you insert a Cat 5 cable into an MP access point’s port connector and enable PoE on the cable, observe the device’s health or LINK LED to determine the status of the connection with the MX switch. l If the LED is green and is glowing steadily, the MP has been booted successfully by the MX switch and is ready for operation. l If the LED is not steadily glowing green, see Health LED States . (For descriptions of all the LEDs, see “Status LEDs” on page 14.) Ta ble 8 .
Appe ndix A Not solid green MP radio needs to be enabled. Enable at least one of the radios. If the LED is still not solid green, try the remedy listed in this table based on the LED’s appearance. Unlit MP access point is not receiving power. Check the Cat 5 cable connection(s). For a direct connection to an MX switch: • Set the port type on the MX switch to an MP port. • Verify that Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enabled on the MX switch port connected to the MP access point.
Appe ndix A Solid amber MP access point is waiting (MP-341 or MP-352) to receive boot instructions and a configuration file from an MX switch. Wait a few seconds for the boot process to begin. If the LED remains amber, try the remedies for the other health LED appearances. If the LED still remains amber, make sure the MP access point is securely connected to an MX switch.
