AP-8432 Installation Guide
10
The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall
mounted using the Power Injector’s wall mounting key holes. The following guidelines
should be carefully followed before cabling the Power Injector to an Ethernet source and an
Access Point:
•
Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector.
•
Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.
•
The Power Injector isn’t a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet signal. For
optimal performance, ensure the Power Injector is placed as close as possible to the
data port.
To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and an Access Point:
1
Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (110VAC to 220VAC).
2 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector
Data & Power Out
connector and the Access Point’s GE1/POE port.
3 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the
Power Injector
Data In
connector.
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and
Access Point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Injector receives power and is
ready for device connection and operation as soon as AC power is applied. Refer to the
Installation Guide
shipped with the Power Injector for a description of the device’s LEDs.
Wall Mount Instructions
A wall mount deployment requires hanging the AP-8432 with the provided mounting
bracket and two screws. The AP-8432 can be mounted on to any plaster, wood or cement
wall surface using the provided mounting bracket.
The hardware required to install the AP-8432 on a wall consists of:
•
Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws (M3.5 x 0.6 x 23 mm)
•
Mounting bracket
Optional customer provided installation tools include:
•
Phillips head screw driver, or drill and drill bit.
CAUTION
To avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable POE from a wired
switch port connected to an Access Point if mid-span
power sourcing
equipment
(PSE) is used between the two, regardless of the manufacturer of
the switch.
CAUTION
Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC cable with an
appropriate ground connection approved for the country of operation.
