Power over Ethernet
If the uplink device of the AP is a PoE switch or the like, use an Ethernet cable to directly connect the
Ethernet interface of the AP to the PoE device.

PoE connection
z
In the case of PoE, you do not need to connect the power interface to a power source. You only
need to connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface of the AP and the other end
to an Ethernet interface of a PoE switch (for example, Ethernet switch).
z
Identify the silkscreen on the device to avoid taking the console interface for the Ethernet interface
and vice versa.
Connecting the Network
Connect the Ethernet interface of the AP to an Ethernet interface of the switch to implement Internet or
MAN access, as shown in Figure 3-8.
