Selecting a Location
The AP150 requires a location that meets the following criteria:

Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves

Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the
controller.
APs can obtain their power from 802.3af standard Power over Ethernet (PoE)-compat-

AP150.
AP150 and AP300 work with all switches that support STANDARD 802.3af.
