Introduction

Radio Characteristics

Radio Characteristics
The ProCurve Radio Port 230 comprises two IEEE 802.11 radios: (1) an IEEE
802.11 b/g radio operating in the 2.41 to 2.8 GHz band and (2) an IEEE 802.11a
radio operating in the 5.15 to 5.88 GHz band. The ProCurve Radio Port 210 has
a single IEEE 802.11b/g radio. Both units contain two embedded 2.41-2.8 GHz
omni-directional diversity antennas and the Radio Port 230 also contains two
embedded 5.1-5.88 GHz omni-directional diversity antennas.
The following table lists the IEEE 802.11-compliant operating modes. The
three supported IEEE 802.11g modes are simultaneous CCK and OFDM, CCK
only, or OFDM only.

Integrated RJ-45 Port

Each radio port has one RJ-45 connector supporting a full-duplex 10/100Base-
TX Ethernet port, and requires IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet
(PoE) from an external source, such as a PoE switch or power injector. This
Ethernet port is configured as an MDI port and can be connected to any MDIX
switch port using standard straight-through CAT-5 Ethernet cables. For details
on cable pinouts, see the Installation and Getting Started Guide for your
ProCurve switch.
A single CAT-5 cable is used to supply both Ethernet connectivity and power
to the radio port allowing these radio ports to be installed up to 100 m (300
ft.) from a PoE-compliant 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port. There is no additional
power supply required.
