Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables
Note Only the 1200 series power injector and the 1200 series power module can support simultaneous
operation of both the 2.4-GHz and the 5.0-GHz radios in the access point.
Note Both the Ethernet and console ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful to avoid accidently connecting the
serial cable to the Ethernet port connector.
Follow these steps to connect the Ethernet and power cables to the access point:
Step 1 If you are using in-line power from a switch or patch panel, connect an Ethernet cable from the access
point to the device that supplies power.
Step 2 If you are using in-line power from a 1200 series power injector, follow these additional steps:
a. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point into the end of the 1200 series power injector
labeled To AP/Bridge.
b. Connect an Ethernet cable from the end of the 1200 series power injector labeled To Network to the
your 10/100 Ethernet LAN.
c. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the 1200 series power module (Universal power
supply) and plug the male end into a suitable AC power receptacle.
Step 3 If you are using a 1200 series power module, follow these additional steps:
a. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to your 10/100 Ethernet LAN.
b. Plug the female end of the power cord into the 1200 series power module (Universal power supply)
and plug the male end into a suitable power receptacle.
c. Plug the power connector into the back of the access point.
At startup, all three LEDs on the top of the access point slowly blink amber, red, and green in sequence;
the sequence takes a few minutes to complete. During normal operation, the LEDs blink green. Refer to
Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting,” for LED descriptions.
Refer to Chapter 3, “Basic Configuration,” to assign basic settings to the access point.
