Connect PoE equipment in a business
environment
The following figure shows an example of how you can connect PoE WiFi access points,
PoE VoIP phones, and PoE surveillance equipment to the switch in a business
environment.
In a small office or home office network, the blue network icon represents a router that
is connected to an Internet modem. In such a setup, you must connect one port on the
switch to a LAN port on the router.
