Connecting the power supply 
Local power supply 
Connect the AP to the power source through the power adapter (see Figure 11   
Figure 11 Local power supply connection 
 
 
Power over Ethernet (PoE) 
If the uplink device of the AP is a PoE-capable switch, use an Ethernet cable to connect 
the Ethernet interface of the AP to the PoE-capable device (see Figure 12   
Figure 12 PoE connection 
 
 
 CAUTION: 
  In the PoE mode, you do not need to connect the power interface to a power source. You 
only need to connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface of the AP and 
the other end to an Ethernet interface of the PoE-capable device (for example, an Ethernet 
switch).  
  Identify the interface type printed on the silkscreen of the device to avoid confusing the 
console interface for the Ethernet interface and vice versa.
