Figure 5. Set up the access point with a PoE+ connection to your network
To set up the access point with an Ethernet connection to your network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN 1/PoE+ port on the access point.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a port on a switch that is connected
to your network and to the Internet.
The access point requires 802.3at (PoE+) input.
Note: For optimal functioning, make sure that you use an 802.3at (PoE+) switch and
not an 802.3af (PoE) switch. If the Power LED remains solid amber after the access
point started up, the access point might receive insufficient PoE power. For more
information, see The access point functions as a PoE PD and the Power/Cloud LED
remains solid amber on page 222.
While the access point is starting or in the process of getting an IP address from a
DHCP server (or router functioning as a DHCP server) in your network, the
Power/Cloud LED initially lights solid amber and then blinks amber slowly. After
about two minutes, the Power/Cloud LED turns solid green or solid blue and the
access point is ready for you to perform the initial configuration.
For information about accessing the access point for initial configuration, see Connect
to the access point for initial configuration on page 22.
