Araknis Networks Wireless Access Point
Product Manual
Wiring Requirements
5 - Wiring Requirements
The access point must be connected to the local network and powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet)
or 12V DC power. Install the required cabling and equipment according to the guidelines in this section.
5.1 - Network Cable Requirements
568B termination is recommended (Figure 4. EIA/TIA 568B Termination Pattern) Connect a Cat5e/6
straight-through cable between the access point and a local area network port on a switch or router.

Note –
Maximum cable length is 328 feet (100m). A repeater device is required for longer
runs.
5.2 - PoE Requirements
Caution –
Use an 802.3af/at compliant PoE injector, switch, or router to power the access
point. Non-compliant devices can harm the access point and lead to unpredictable results.
5.3 - Power Requirements for Non-PoE Application
If PoE is not being used, connect a suitable power supply (not included) from a nearby outlet to the
DC input of the access point.
•
AC Outlet –
100-240V AC, 50/60Hz (100 Series: 0.3A; 300/500/700 Series: 0.6A)
•
DC Input –
12V DC 1A (100 Series); 2A (300/500/700 Series).
5.4 - Wiring Instructions
Plan a mounting location and install the wiring before installing the access point.
Warning –
Do not connect any equipment to the wiring until every connection has been
terminated and testing is complete.
1. For PoE installations, install a network cable from the PoE device to the access point and
terminate both ends to the same pattern. The DC power supply is not needed.
2. For non-PoE installations, locate an outlet for the power supply within reach of the mounting
location.
