PoE power supply
CAUTION:
•
When you apply 802.3af PoE power supply, connect one end of the
network cable to the network port on the AP, and the other end to an
Ethernet port on a PoE-capable device (for example, a PoE-capable
Ethernet switch).
•
Identify the marks for the network port and console port to avoid
connection mistakes.
If the uplink device of the AP is a PoE switch, use an Ethernet cable to directly
connect the Ethernet interface of the AP to the PoE device.

AP LEDs, see “
Connecting the AP to the network
APs can access the Internet or metropolitan area network (MAN) through the
Ethernet uplink interface. To implement Internet or MAN access, connect the
Ethernet port of the AP to an Ethernet port of an Ethernet switch.
