For power requirements and PoE usage diagrams, see the Power and Ethernet section.
The BreadCrumb’s on/off switch (if any) should be off when connecting or disconnecting power.
BreadCrumbs only support Passive PoE. Do not use a Cisco switch PoE to power a BreadCrumb (set
switch port’s power to “never”).
D.8 Configuration
Configure the BreadCrumb to be compatible with any existing or planned BreadCrumb mesh network.
This will include configuring the desired channel and bandwidth and configuring security settings.
Complete and test the configuration before mounting the BreadCrumb anywhere unreachable.
See the BreadCrumb model guide’s chapter Deploying a BreadCrumb Mesh Network.
See the BC|Commander User Guide chapters “Administrative Tasks” and “BreadCrumb
Configuration”.
D.9 Placement
See the BreadCrumb model guide’s chapter “Deploying a BreadCrumb Mesh Network” starting at the sec-
tion Physical Placement and other Considerations.
