Alcatel OmniAccess 6000 LC-2G24FP
Installation Instructions
The Alcatel 6000 SPOE Line Card (OAW-LC-2G24FP) has 24 Fast
Ethernet (FE) ports that support Serial and Power over Ethernet
(SPOE), and two Gigabit Ethernet Interface Card (GBIC) ports.
(SPOE and POE require 400W Power Supply Units,
OAW-600-PS400).
When connected directly to an IEEE 802.3af POE compatible
device, the port will provide power and data connectivity through
the same cable. For devices that support compatible serial wiring
or include an appropriate serial breakout adapter, such as the
Alcatel Wireless Access Point, the port will provide serial
connectivity as well as power and data.

Access Point Status LEDs
Each LED represents the status of APs connected to a specific port on the
switch. During operation, the LEDs provide the following information:
TABLE 4 Line Card AP Status LED
Status
Description
Red (solid)
An AP on this port has failed (highest precedence).
Red (flashing) An air monitor on this port has detected an unsecured AP.
The AP is attached to your network but is not listed in the
switch security policies. If security policies are enabled,
clients are not granted access to your network through the
unsecured AP.
Green
(flashing)
An air monitor on this port has detected interference. The
interfering device (AP or other radio source) has been
detected by your valid APs, but has no wired presence on
your network.
Amber (solid) Load balancing is enabled on this port or an AP has reached
the maximum number of clients it is configured to support.
Green (solid) All detected APs on this port are operating as expected.
Off
No AP is detected on the port (lowest precedence)
The LED states show above are listed in order of precedence (highest to
lowest). If more than one AP is connected to the port, the state with the
highest precedence is displayed.

2 GBIC ports
6
The GBIC ports can provide high-bandwidth uplinks between the Alcatel
Wireless LAN Switch and the wired LAN. The Gigabit Ethernet port sockets
accept a variety of Gigabit Interface Converters for versatility in selecting
optical and electrical interfaces. See the installation guide for port and cable
specifications.
Each GE port has its own LNK/ACT LED, located to the right of the port. During
operation, these LEDs provide the following status information:
TABLE 5 GE LNK/ACT LED
Status
Off
Description
No Ethernet link on the port.
Green
An Ethernet link has been established on the port, but no
data is currently being transmitted or received.
Flashing
Green
The port is transmitting or receiving data. The flashing rate is
proportional to your network activity.
Amber
The Ethernet link on the port is encountering errors.
Inserting a Line Card
CAUTION—This procedure should be performed only by a trained
technician.
CAUTION—Be sure to exercise proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) pre-
cautions when handling components.
The line card is hot-swappable and can be inserted into the Alcatel Wireless
LAN Switch chassis while system power is on or off. However, hot-swapping a
line card is service affecting and traffic processing on this card will stop until
the replacement card is installed and operating.

Make sure you understand the procedure and all precautions.
Before beginning, read the entire procedure. Make sure you understand all the
precautions in these installation instructions.
Prepare the slot.

The first line card should be installed in Slot 2 of the Alcatel Wireless LAN
Switch chassis. A second optional line card can be installed in Slot 3, and a
third in Slot 1. A line card cannot be installed in Slot 0.
CAUTION—If installing a line card in Slot 1, make sure that the fastening
screws for the module in the slot above it are fully secured. If the
module in Slot 3 is loose, it could interfere with the new module
insertion and possibly damage the components.
If you are replacing a previously installed module, first see “Removing a Line
To install a module in a previously empty bay, remove the blank cover plate
first. To do this, use a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver to loosen both of
the fastening screws on the blank cover place. The screws loosen with
counter-clockwise rotation, but are captive and cannot be fully removed.

4
Carefully insert the line card into the chassis slot.
Engage the line card.
There may be moderate resistance when the line card meets the connectors in
the backplane. Press firmly so that the connectors at the back of the module
engage with the backplane, but do not use excessive force.
If the system is powered up, the module’s Power LED will light up green if the
line card is inserted properly.

Secure the line card.
Use a #2 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver to push in the captive fastening
screws and turn them clockwise until moderate resistance is felt. Do not
over-tighten.
Connect the appropriate network cables.
Removing a Line Card
CAUTION—This procedure should be performed only by a trained

Disconnect all cables attached to the line card.
Loosen the module’s fastening screws.
At the front of the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch, use a #2 Phillips or cross-head
screwdriver to loosen both of the fastening screws on the faceplate of the
installed line card. The screws loosen with counter-clockwise rotation, but are
captive and cannot be fully removed.
4
Remove the line card.
CAUTION—If removing a line card from Slot 1, make sure that the
fastening screws for the module in the slot above it are fully secured.
If the module in Slot 3 is loose, it could interfere with the module
removal and possibly damage the components.
Grasp the module handle firmly and draw the line card forward from its slot.
There may be moderate resistance as the module comes free from its
connections with the chassis backplane, but do not use excessive force. Once
disengaged from the backplane, the line card should easily slide out the rest of
the way.
5
Cover blank slots.
For safety considerations, as well as to promote proper airflow for cooling and
to prevent dust from entering the switch chassis, cover any unoccupied slot
with a blank cover plate

The port accepts a 4- or 8-conductor Category 5 UTP Ethernet cable with an
RJ-45 male connector. A straight-through cable is required for connection to a
network port. A crossover cable is required for connection to a management
workstation.
For cables that run through plenums or air-handling spaces as described in
NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), the cable should be suitable under NEC Article
800.50 and marked accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces
with regard to smoke propagation, such as CL2-P, CL3-P, MPP or CMP. Be
sure to install cables in accordance with all applicable local regulations and
practices.
