Hardware Overview
About the OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704
The OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704 are enterprise-class, wireless LAN switches. These switches
connect, control, and intelligently integrate wireless Access Points (APs) and Air Monitors (AMs) into a
wired LAN system.
Available base models:
zOmniAccess 4504 (OAW-4504)
The OAW-4504 is capable of supporting up to 32 campus connected APs. The following base models
are available and can be upgraded by purchasing optional software licenses:
OAW-4504-0: no built-in AP support; optional Alcatel-Lucent AP upgrade licenses available.
OAW-4504-8: includes built-in campus connected AP support of up to 8 APs; additional Alcatel-
Lucent AP upgrade licenses available.
zOmniAccess 4604 (OAW-4604)
The OAW-4604 is capable of supporting up to 64 campus connected APs. The following base models
are available and can be upgraded by purchasing optional software licenses:
OAW-4604-0: no built-in AP support; optional Alcatel-Lucent AP upgrade licenses available.
OAW-4604-32: includes built-in campus connected AP support of up to 32 APs; additional Alcatel-
Lucent AP upgrade licenses available.
zOmniAccess 4704 (OAW-4704)
The OAW-4704 is capable of supporting up to 128 campus connected APs. The following base
models are available and can be upgraded by purchasing optional software licenses:
OAW-4704-0: no built-in AP support; optional Alcatel-Lucent AP upgrade licenses available.
OAW-4704-64: includes built-in campus connected AP support of up to 64 APs; additional Alcatel-
Lucent AP upgrade licenses available.
NOTE
Feature related AP licenses are counted independently and in addition to the Alcatel-Lucent AP
upgrade licenses. Contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales representative for complete details regarding
software licensing options and support capacity.

Minimum Software Requirements
The OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704 require AOS-W 3.2.0 or later.
AOS-W software builds prior to version 3.2.0 do not support the OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704. If
your network currently runs on a software build prior to 3.2.0, you must upgrade the software on your
master and local switches to 3.2.0 or later prior to installing an OmniAccess 4504, 4604, or 4704 WLAN
Switch in your existing network.

Hardware Model Overview
NOTE
The master switch, its redundant master switch, and all of its local switches must run on the same
code of AOS-W. Once you upgrade your network and install an OmniAccess 4504, 4604, or 4704
WLAN Switch into your network, verify that the software version on your switch matches the rest of
the network. If the code shipped on the switch is prior to the version that you upgraded your
network to, you must upgrade the code on the switch to match the rest of the network.
NOTE
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the
carton, including the original packing materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to
the supplier if needed.
NOTE
Optional accessories, such as SFP modules, are available for use with an OmniAccess 4504, 4604,
or 4704 and are sold separately. Contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales representative for details and
assistance.
NOTE
The physical hardware overview covers all three switches: the OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704 .
The difference between the three switch models is dependent on the licensing level purchased,
which is covered in About the OmniAccess 4504, 4604, and 4704 on page 7. The switch model
depicted in the illustrations throughout this section is the OAW-4504.

1000Base-X (SFP) Ports
There are four 1000Base-X combination ports for fiber connectivity only and are intended for use with
Alcatel-Lucent SFPs (mini-GBICs).
To purchase compatible SFP modules, contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales representative for details and
assistance.
10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Ports
There are four 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports. Gigabit Ethernet uses all eight wires
and each pair is used in a bi-directional fashion, meaning the same pairs are used for both data
transmission and reception. Figure 2 illustrates the CAT-5 pin-out found on an RJ-45 connector. The
CAT-5 pin-out pairs the following pins on a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/
8.
Serial Console Port

1000Base-X (SFP)
Ports
Dual-media ports (4x); 1000Base-X
or 10/100/1000Base-T
NOTE
Ports zero through three are dual-media ports and can utilize either the 1000Base-X or 10/100/
1000Base-T connections provided. However, the 1000Base-X fiber connection has priority over the
10/100/1000Base-T copper connection. If a link is detected for the 1000Base-X interface, the 10/
100/1000Base-T connection will be disabled.
NOTE
Alcatel-Lucent tests and supports Alcatel-Lucent optics within their switch systems. Third party
optics are not tested or supported; therefore, Alcatel-Lucent does not guarantee proper functionality
of third party optics when used in an Alcatel-Lucent system.

Serial Console Port
A serial console port is provided for connection to a terminal, allowing for direct local management.
The port’s RJ-45 female connector accepts an RS-232 serial cable with a male connector.
Figure 3 Serial Console Port Pin-Out
Communication settings for the serial console port are indicated in Table 1.
Serial Console Port Adaptor
A modular adaptor can be used to convert the RJ-45 (female) connector to a DB9 (male) connector.
Refer to Figure 4 for complete details.
