Power the Access Point On
You can power the access point (AP) on by plugging one end of the Ethernet cable into the PoE
switch or injector and the other end into the Ethernet/PoE port on the AP. Ensure the PoE source you
are using is turned on.
As an alternative to PoE, you can insert a compatible power adaptor plug into an AC power outlet
and the other end into the power input port on the AP.
Note: If you are not using PoE, ensure that you use only an AC power adaptor supported by the
AP.
Using the C-230 with Power Adapter
Use a compatible power adaptor (Arista SKU: PWR-AP-W4) to power the C-230.
Warning: The C-230 is intended to be supplied with UL-listed PoE power source suitable for use at
40ºC, and whose output meets LPS requirements or PS2, with a rating of 48V DC(0.5A minimum).
If you are not using PoE+, ensure that you use only an AC power adaptor supported by the C-230
access point (AP). This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit
