2. Connect the Access Point to a Power Source and the
Network
Once you have placed the Access Point at its installation location, you are ready to
connect it to a power source and the network.
NOTE If your ZoneFlex model supports PoE, you can also supply power to the AP
from a PoE switch or injector. For information on how to make the PoE connections,
refer to the documentation that was shipped with the PoE switch or injector.
CAUTION! If you are using PoE, you must use a Cat5e or better Ethernet cable for
the PoE connection.
1 Connect the power jack to the power connector on the rear panel of your
ZoneFlex Access Point.
2 Connect the power adapter to a power source.
3 Obtain an Ethernet cable that is long enough to connect the Access Point to
your network’s router, switch, or hub.
4 Connect one end to a LAN port on the AP, and then connect the other end to
your network’s router, switch, or hub.
5 Verify that the power LED on the Access Point is green.
Congratulations! You have completed setting up the Access Point on your network.
