5. Connecting the Access Point to a Switch
The access point can be powered by the following methods:
•
By Power Over Ethernet (PoE) supplied over the LAN by a 802.3af PoE compliant device such
as a switch or hub.
•
By PoE supplied by an optional 3Com PoE injector (not included). 3Com PoE injectors include
the 3CNJPSE and 3CNJPSE24 midspan supplies.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) from the LAN
To power the access point using PoE provided by a switch or other 802.3af compliant device,
simply plug the network cable from the device into the access point’s Ethernet port.
Power Over Ethernet from a PoE Injector
To power the access point using a 3Com PoE Injector (available separately), do the following:
1
Connect the LAN cable from the switch or hub to the Hub/Switch port on the 3Com PoE
Injector (available separately).
2
Next connect a LAN cable from the Ethernet port on the access point to the other port on the
PoE injector.
3
Plug the PoE Injector into a properly grounded electric outlet.
