Connect Ethernet
Use the Ethernet port to connect the AP with a twisted pair Ethernet LAN segment. Use a 4- or 8-
conductor, Category 5 UTP cable. The port is an RJ-45 female connector with the pin-outs shown in Table
2.

Connect Power Sources
Confirm that you have an IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source on the Ethernet cable,
if not, connect by using the ALE 48V DC AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) to the DC Power Socket and
AC power jack.
If both POE and DC power are available, the use of DC is preferred. OAW-AP supports the power
adapter provided by ALE ONLY.
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The LED on the AP can be used at this point to verify that the AP is receiving power and initializing
successfully (see Table 3).
