Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables
Step 7
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the following:
•
A switch with inline power (see the
“Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables” section on
•
The end of a Cisco Aironet power injector labeled
To AP/Bridge
. Connect the other end labeled
To
Network
to your 10/100 Ethernet LAN.
Connecting to an Ethernet Network with Local Power
Caution
Be careful when handling the access point; the bottom plate might be hot.
Note
If your access point is connected to in-line power, do not connect the power module to the access point.
Using two power sources on the access point might cause the access point to shut down to protect internal
components and might cause the switch to shut down the port to which the access point is connected. If
your access point shuts down, you must remove all power and reconnect only a single power source.
Follow these steps to connect the access point to an Ethernet LAN when you are using a local power
source:
Step 1
If necessary, open the access point cover (see the
“Opening the Access Point Cover” section on
Step 2
Pull the Category 5 Ethernet cable and the power module cable out of the access point cable bay area
approximately 1 foot.
Step 3
Loop the Ethernet cable back towards the access point Ethernet connector (see
Step 4
Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled
Ethernet
on the access point (see
).
Step 5
Loop the power cable back towards the access point 48-VDC power port (see
for the location
of the power port).
Step 6
Connect the power module output connector to the access point power port.
Step 7
Push or pull the excess cable lengths (both loops) back through the access point cable bay area.
Step 8
Close the access point cover by sliding it over the cable bay area until you hear a click.
Step 9
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an unpowered Ethernet port on your LAN network.
Step 10
Plug the other end of the power module into an approved 100- to 240-VAC outlet.
