The access point receives power through the Ethernet cable or an external power module.
Figure 2-12
shows the power options for the access point.
Figure 2-12 Access Point Power Options
Warning
This product must be connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source
or an IEC60950 compliant limited power source.
Statement 353
Caution This product and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within the same building,
including the associated LAN connections (as defined by Environment A of the IEEE 802.3af standard).
The access point power options:
• Option 1—Switches with sufficient inline power:
–
An inline power capable switch, such as the Cisco Catalyst 3550 PWR XL, 3560-48PS,
3750-48PS, 4500 with 802.3AF PoE module, or the 6500 with 802.3AF PoE module
–
Other inline power switches supporting the IEEE 802.3af inline power standard
• Option 2—Switches without sufficient inline power can use the power injector:
–
Cisco Aironet Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ3 or AIR-PWRINJ-FIB)
• Option 3—Local power using the power module
