6. Verify that the AP is securely installed to prevent it from falling off.
Connecting the AP to a power source
You can supply power to the AP by using a local power source or through 802.3af PoE as required.
Before powering the AP, make sure the local power source or the power sourcing equipment (PSE)
is reliably grounded.
Connecting a PoE power source
The AP is to be connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside plant.
To power the AP through PoE, use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on a PoE switch to
the GE/PoE port on the AP.
Figure 2-14 Powering the AP through PoE
Connecting a local power source
You can use an AC/DC power adapter to connect the AP to a local power source. No power adapter
is provided with the AP. Prepare one yourself as required. Table 2-1 describes the power adapter
specifications.
