Configuring the Access Point
Configuring for Standalone Operation or for Management by FlexMaster
Step 2: Connect the Access Point to the Administrative
Computer
The procedure for connecting the Access Point to the administrative computer depends
on the power source that you will be using. You can do one of the following:
■
Use Power Over Ethernet
■
Use DC Power
NOTE:
You only need to connect one type of power source at this point, even if you are
planning to use both PoE and DC power in your final deployment.
Use Power Over Ethernet
1.
Take out the PoE injector and the power adapter from the Access Point package.
2.
Obtain two Cat5e or better Ethernet cables.
3.
Connect one end of one Ethernet cable to the
AP/BRIDGE
port on the PoE injector,
and then connect the other end to the
PoE IN
port on the Access Point.
4.
Connect one end of the other Ethernet cable to the
NETWORK
port on the PoE
injector, and then connect the other end to the admin computer.
5.
Connect the power jack to the
DC 48V IN
connector on the PoE injector, and then
plug the power adapter to a power source. The single LED on the PoE injector turns
red
.
6.
Check the
Power LED
on the side of the Access Point. Initially, the LED turns
red
as
the AP powers on. After it completes the power-on sequence, the LED turns
green
.
