Power Injector Module
The wireless bridge receives power through its network cable
connection using power-over-Ethernet technology. A power
injector module is included in the wireless bridge package and
provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one for connecting to the
wireless bridge (Output), and the other for connecting to a local
LAN switch (Input).
The Input port uses an MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin
configuration. You can therefore use straight-through twisted-pair
cable to connect this port to most network interconnection
devices such as a switch or router that provide MDI-X ports.
However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or
other device that does not have MDI-X ports, you must use
crossover twisted-pair cable.
The wireless bridge does not have a power switch. It is powered
on when its Ethernet port is connected to the power injector
module, and the power injector module is connected to an AC
power source. The power injector includes one LED indicator that
turns on when AC power is applied.
