Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Powering the Access Point
Warning
Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards
Statement 1033
Connecting a 1530 Series Power Injector
The 1530 Series Access Points support the following power injectors:
• AIR-PWRINJ1500-2= — 100-240 VAC input, indoor use only
• AIR-PWRINJ4= — 100-240 VAC input, indoor use only
The power injector provides (AIR-PWRINJ1500-2=) 56 VDC to the access point over the Ethernet cable
and supports a total end-to-end Ethernet cable length of 100 m (328 ft) from the switch to the access
point.
When your access point is powered by an optional power injector, follow these steps to complete the
installation:
Step 1 Before applying PoE to the access point, ensure that the access point is grounded (see the “Grounding
the Access Point” section on page 2-38).
Step 2 Review Figure 2-2 to identify the components needed for the installation.
Note The 1500 power injector can only be used in an indoor environment, therefore, the cable from
the injector must travel from the protected location to the outside mounted access point.
Step 3 Connect a CAT5e or better Ethernet cable from your wired LAN network to the power injector.
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
Statement 1023
Note The installer is responsible for ensuring that powering the access point from this type of power injector
is allowed by local and/or national safety and telecommunications equipment standards.
Tip To forward bridge traffic, add a switch between the power injector and controller. Refer to the
Cisco Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide, Release 7.0 for more
information.
Step 4 Ensure that the antennas are connected and that a ground is attached to the access point before you apply
power to the access point.
Step 5 Connect a shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet (CAT5e or better) cable between the power injector and the
PoE-in connector of the access point (see Figure 2-24).
Step 6 Connect the Ethernet cable to the access point PoE-In port (see “Connecting an Ethernet Cable to the
Access Point” section on page 2-41).
Step 7 Continue with What to Do Next, page 2-53.
