Chapter 7 Controlling Lightweight Access Points
Configuring Power over Ethernet
Table 7-3 shows the maximum transmit power settings for 1250 series access points using PoE.
Note When powered with a non-Cisco standard PoE switch, the 1250 series access point operates under 15.4
Watts. Even if the non-Cisco switch or midspan device is capable of providing higher power, the access
point does not operate in enhanced PoE mode.
You can configure PoE through either the controller GUI or CLI.
Using the GUI to Configure Power over Ethernet
Using the controller GUI, follow these steps to configure PoE.
Step 1 Click Wireless > Access Points > All APs and then the name of the desired access point.
Step 2 Click the Advanced tab to open the All APs > Details for (Advanced) page (see Figure 7-26).
