Set up the access point in your network
The access point is intended to function as a WiFi access point in your existing network.
The following sections describe how you can set up the access point in your network:
•
Set up the access point with a PoE or PoE+ network connection
•
Set up the access point with a non-PoE network connection
To set up your access point, follow the procedure in
one
of these sections.
Set up the access point with a PoE or PoE+ network
connection
You can connect the access point to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch in your network.
The type of PoE switch depends on the access point model (see below). The switch
must be connected to a network router that is connected to the Internet. If you use a
PoE connection, the access point does not require a power adapter.
