If a PoE switch is used to supply power, no port lightning protector or power adapter is required. It
is not recommended to provide power to the AP using a PoE switch over a long distance.
z
To supply power to the AP through a port lightning protector, you need to connect the port lightning
protector to the switch. The switch does not need to be a PoE switch and you need to use a power
adapter to provide power to the remote AP.
z
No matter whether the AP is powered by a PoE switch or by a power adapter through a port
lightning protector, ensure that the AP is installed correctly before power-on.
Powering On the AP
After all cables are correctly connected as shown in Figure 4-22, power on the AP and check the status
of the LEDs. For the description of the LED status, refer to section “LEDs” on page 1-3.
