Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables
Connecting to an Ethernet Network with an Inline Power Source
Caution
Be careful when handling the access point; the bottom plate might be hot.
Note
If your access point is connected to in-line power, do not connect the power module to the access point.
Using two power sources on the access point might cause the access point to shut down to protect internal
components and might cause the switch to shut down the port to which the access point is connected. If
your access point shuts down, you must remove all power and reconnect only a single power source.
Follow these steps to connect the access point to the Ethernet LAN when you have an inline power
source:
Step 1
If necessary, open the access point cover (see the
“Opening the Access Point Cover” section on
).
Step 2
Pull the Category 5 Ethernet cable out of the access point cable bay area approximately 1 foot.
Step 3
Loop the cable back towards the Ethernet connector (see
)
Figure 2-15
Looping the Ethernet Cable
Step 4
Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled
Ethernet
on the access point.
Step 5
Push or pull the excess cable length (the loop) back through the access point cable bay area.
Step 6
Close the access point cover by sliding it over the cable bay area until you hear a click.
