Port Connector Type Description Available Components
2.5G/GE LC

Optical port used for uplink Ethernet communication, supporting 2.5 Gbit/s and 1 Gbit/s.

The AP has a built-in BIDI optical module, which connects to an optical fiber through the LC port. The wavelength on the AP side is TX 1310 nm/RX 1490 nm, with the transmit optical power of -9 dBm to -3 dBm and the receive optical power of -15 dBm to -3 dBm. The peer end must use an optical module with the wavelength of TX 1490 nm/RX 1310 nm and the matching power. It is recommended that the optical fiber routing distance be within 2 km.

LC optical fiber

GE0 to GE3 RJ45 Ethernet electrical port that supports 10M/100M/1000M auto-sensing and connects to the wired Ethernet.

Network cable

PoE_IN Phoenix terminal block Supplies power to the device over the DC power cable in a hybrid cable when a PSE supplies power to the AP through this port.

Phoenix terminal block

DC 12V DC connector Connects to a 12 V power adapter.

12 V DC power adapter

USB USB 3.0 Type A

Connects to an IoT terminal to implement IoT applications.

(USB 2.0 is supported in V600R024C10 and later versions. USB 3.0 is unavailable and will be supported through software upgrade in the future.)

Table 3-123 Indicators on the AirEngine 5573-23HW
Silkscreen Name Color Status Description
- System indicator - Off The system is not running.
Green Steady on
  • The system is just powered on.
  • The system is starting after a reset.
  • The upper-layer system is starting.
Green Steady on after blinking once After the hardware reset is cleared and the software starts, the indicator blinks once. Then, the indicator is steady on until the system starts.
Green Slow blinking (0.5 Hz) The AP is running properly, the Ethernet connection is normal, and STAs are associated with the AP.
Green Slow blinking (0.2 Hz) The AP is running properly, the Ethernet connection is normal, and no STA is associated with the AP.
Green Blinking once every 0.25s (4 Hz)
  • The software is being upgraded.
  • After the software is loaded and started, the AP requests to go online in Fit or cloud management mode. The indicator remains in this state till the AP successfully goes online.
Yellow (blinking red and green at the same time, causing color deviation) Blinking once every 0.25s (4 Hz)

Hold down the Default button for more than 6 seconds to restore the factory settings.

This function is supported in V600R024C10 and later versions.

Red Steady on The system is faulty.

Silkscreen Name Description
Default Reset button
  • For versions earlier than V600R024C10: If you press the button, the device resets. If you hold down the button for more than 6 seconds, the device restores the factory settings, switches to the Fit mode, and restarts.
  • For V600R024C10 and later versions: If you press the button, the device resets. If you hold down the button for more than 6 seconds, the indicator blinks yellow (blinking red and green fast at the same time, causing color deviation), and the device restores the factory settings, switches to the Fit mode, and restarts.
