The port is used to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data, or to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE switch,
for both data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) through Ethernet cable.
* If you use a CAT5E cable, the 10Gbps link of the Ethernet port is less than 55m. To achieve a longer transmission distance, use a shielded CAT6A
cable.
Ethernet Port: ETH (PoE)
Plug one end of the provided power adapter to this port and the other end to a standard electrical wall outlet to power the EAP.
