CONCLUDING REMARKS
In the first example, we will show how a single AP-1800 may be connected. Note the PoE-enabled AP-1800 on
the right is connected directly to the switch. The other two APs are running on local power (meaning they are
connected to power using the supplied AC to DC converter). The first AP is connected to PoE, but is not
utilizing that power.
In the second example, another AP is connected to the PoE-enabled AP. The second AP must have local power.
The OMNEO signal coming out of the second Ethernet jack on the PoE-enabled AP no longer has power.
ROAMEO Access Points can work with PoE, but they require an adapter, which must be purchased separately
(e.g., it is not included). Each AP that requires PoE must be connected directly to a PoE switch. The total power
of all PoE enabled APs must not exceed the total power of the PoE switch.
We will now look at some ways in which the PoE-enabled Access Point can be connected to the system. To
symbolize a PoE-enabled Access Point, we will use the symbol shown in Figure 4.
Figure 3. How to connect the PoE adapter
Once the voltage has been set to 12 V as described in the previous section, the cable from the PoE switch is
connected to the rear of the PoE adapter, and the signal output and DC connectors are connected to the AP-
1800. Note you must use the barrel adapter to make a reliable electrical connection between the cable and the
AP-1800. Without the barrel connector, it will not work.
