To power the Access Point using PoE provided by a switch or other 802.3af compliant device,
simply plug the network cable from the device into the Access Point’s Ethernet port.
Power Over Ethernet from a PoE Injector
To power the Access Point using the 3Com PoE Injector (included with the unit), do the following:
1
Connect the LAN cable from the switch or hub to the Hub/Switch port on the 3Com PoE
Injector (included with Access Point).
