You have completed connecting the Access Point to the network and to a PoE power
source.
Use DC Power
To use DC to power the Access Point, you need to assemble the DC cord connector, and
then plug it into the 12V DC connector on the AP. To complete this task, you will need:
■
A 0.195” to 0.265” outside diameter, two-conductor DC cable. Gage depends on the
length. Total round trip resistance must be less than 0.4 ohm. This means no more than
seven meters of 20 gage copper. The insulation should comply with local code
requirements. Make sure that the cable that is long enough to connect the AP (at its
mounting location) with the DC power source.
■
A pair of long nose pliers
■
A soldering gun (optional)
To assemble the DC cord connector and supply DC power to the AP
1.
Take the small plastic bag containing the DC connector pins and DC cord connector
from the AP package. Take its contents out.
2.
Feed the end of the DC cable through the boot, cable clamp housing, and coupling
ring (in the same order). See
Figure 14
