Powering On and Connecting the Access Point 21
Powering On and
Connecting the
Access Point
The procedure for connecting the Ethernet cable to and powering on the
Access Point depends on whether you want to use the supplied power
adapter or PoE.
To use PoE, you must have a power sourcing equipment (PSE). You may
also need an additional Ethernet cable for connecting the PSE unit to a
hub, router, or switch.
Using the Supplied
Power Adapter
1 Connect one end of a standard Ethernet cable (either straight-through or
crossover) to the Ethernet port on the back panel of the Access Point.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to a 10/100BaseT hub, router, or
switch on the local network.
3 Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the back panel of the
Access Point, and then connect the plug to a power source.

Using Power over
Ethernet
If you have a PoE switch, such as the 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-PWR
Plus 3C16490, you can plug the Ethernet cable from the Access Point
directly to a PoE port on the switch to supply power.
