connector and the Access Point’s GE1/POE port.
c Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and
Access Point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The Power Injector has no On/Off
power switch. The Power Injector receives power as soon as AC power is applied.
For standard power adapter (non Power Injector) and line cord installations:
a Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the
Access Point’s GE1/POE
port.
b Verify the power adapter is correctly rated according the country of operation.
c Connect the power supply line cord to the power adapter.
d Attach the power adapter cable into the power connector on the Access Point.
e Attach the power supply line cord to a power supply

Align the bottom of the ceiling T-bar with the back of the Access Point.
4 Orient the Access Point chassis by its length and the length of the ceiling T-bar.
5 Rotate the Access Point chassis 45 degrees clockwise.
6 Push the back of the Access Point chassis on to the bottom of the ceiling T-bar.
CAUTION
If not using an AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR Power Injector, ensure only the AP-8432’s
designated power supply (PWR-BGA48V45W0WW) is used to supply power
to the Access Point. Using an incorrectly rated power supply could damage the
Access Point and void the product warranty. Do not actually connect to the
power source until the cabling portion of the installation is complete.
