USING AN OPTIONAL POWER-OVER ETHERNET INJECTOR
The Power-Over-Ethernet Injector can be located at any point between the access
point and the LAN access port, wherever a convenient power outlet exists. If you
supply your own Ethernet cable for connecting power, be sure that it is standard
category 5 straight-through (8-wire) cable that has not been altered in any way.
Use of nonstandard cable could damage the access point.
Refer to the illustration below, and follow these steps:
1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the access
point.
2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the port labeled To Access
Point on the power supply.
3 Connect the power cord to the power supply and plug the cord into a power
outlet.
4 To link the access point to your Ethernet network, plug one end of another
Ethernet cable into the port labeled To Hub/Switch on the power supply, and
plug the other end into a LAN port (on a hub or in a wall).
CAUTION: To avoid damaging network equipment, make sure that the cables
are connected from access point to power supply to LAN as shown above and
described
below.
