Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide
OL-4310-02
Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables
Connecting to an Ethernet Network with an Inline Power Source
Caution The Cisco Aironet Power Injector for the 1100 and 1200 series is designed for use with 1100 series or
1200 series access points only. Using the power injector with other Ethernet-ready devices can damage
the equipment.
Caution The Cisco Aironet Power Injector for the 1100 and 1200 series is not tested to UL 2043 and should not
be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.
Follow these steps to connect the access point to the Ethernet LAN when you have an inline power
source:
Step 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled Ethernet on the access point.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the following:
• A switch with inline power, such as a Cisco Catalyst 3500XL, 3550-24 PWR, 4000, or 6500 switch.
• An inline power switch panel, such as a Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel.
• The end of a Cisco Aironet power injector labeled To AP/Bridge. Connect the other end labeled To
Network to the 10/100 Ethernet LAN.
Note If you use a power supply or power injector to power the access point, you must use the power supply
included with your access point and the Cisco Aironet Power Injector for the 1100 and 1200 series access
points.
Connecting to an Ethernet Network with Local Power
Follow these steps to connect the access point to an Ethernet LAN when you are using a local power
source:
Step 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled Ethernet on the access point.
Step 2 Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an unpowered Ethernet port on your network.
Step 3 Connect the power module’s output connector to the 48-VDC power port labeled 48VDC on the access
point.
Step 4 Plug the other end of the power module into an approved 100- to 240-VAC outlet.
