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
Connect a Category 5E (or higher) Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled Ethernet on
the access point (see
).

Ethernet and Power Ports
Step 2
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector on the 1250 series power injector
labeled To AP.
Step 3
Connect a Category 5E (or higher) Ethernet cable from your your switch to the power injector connector
labeled To Switch.
Step 4
Connect an AC power cord to the power injector and the AC wall socket.
