typically identified with a warning sticker that says “Connect to PoE device only!”
Connect the Ethernet DataStick to the power injector by plugging the Ethernet
DataStick’s integral CAT5 cable to the PoE jack.
Plug the power injector into an AC outlet and verify that the Link LED on the laptop
lights.
Start a Web browser on the laptop and enter the Ethernet DataStick’s IP address in the
Address field. This will bring up the DataStick’s Home Page as shown in Figure 24.
