Power Connections
There are two options for supplying power to the HotPoint 1000R outdoor mesh router.
Option 1. Remote Power Module
The remote power module provides power to the HotPoint 1000R enclosure from an indoor AC
outlet. You can also plug an optional power over Ethernet (PoE) injector into the module to power
a peripheral device connected to the second (rightmost connector) HotPoint 1000R Ethernet port.
• Caution! The Remote Power Module AC adapter is for indoor use only.
1. Feed the 100’ (30 M) power cable from the indoor AC outlet location to the HotPoint 1000R
enclosure. The connectors at each end are wired identically. If necessary, you can remove
the connectors with a small screwdriver to enable feeding the cable through conduit or small
openings.
Important! When reattaching the connectors, be sure to connect each of the four conductors to
the correct terminal. Incorrect wiring may result in equipment failure and possible damage.
2. Remove the protective cap from the power connector on the HotPoint 1000R enclosure and
attach the power cable connector. Tighten the connector to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Attach the connector at the other end of the cable to the indoor remote power module.
4. Plug the AC adapter into the indoor AC outlet.
5. If you are using a PoE injector, plug it into the auxiliary power connector on the remote power
module and connect the injector to an indoor AC power source.
Option 2. Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a Peripheral Device
The HotPoint 1000R can also receive power from a peripheral device such as an access point or
camera. This device must be able to supply PoE and must be attached to center (middle
connector) Ethernet port on the HotPoint 1000R.
