Connecting the AP to a power source
You can supply power to the AP by using a local power source or through PoE as required. Before
powering the AP, make sure the local power source or the power sourcing equipment (PSE) is
reliably grounded.
Connecting a PoE power source
To power the AP through PoE, use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on a PoE switch to
the GE port on the AP.
Connecting a local power source
You can use an AC/DC power adapter to connect the AP to a local power source. No power adapter
is provided with the AP. Purchase a power adapter from H3C as required.
