Ethernet Connections for Wireless LAN Access Points
The RJ-45 network port on wireless LAN access points connects the access point to a
wireless LAN controller (WLC) or to a switch in the network. The access point receives
power and data through the RJ-45 port.
The port provides a 10/100/1000BASE-T autosensing (MDI/MDIX) Gigabit Ethernet
connection. The access point can be configured as a direct or indirect connection through
an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. Use a Category 5 (or higher) cable and
standard RJ-45 connectors to connect the access point to a controller or to a Juniper
Networks switch in the network.
The access point draws power from a standard IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
supply. The access points can also receive PoE power from PoE-capable switches or
other Juniper Networks switches that support PoE.
NOTE: The access points do not support daisy-chain configurations. Do not
connect one access point to another access point.

PoE Information for WLA Series Access Points
PoE Information for the WLA532E Access Point
The WLA Series Wireless LAN access point operates as a powered device within standard
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) from either mid-span or end-span power source
equipment. It also operates on IEEE 802.3at (54 V from power source equipment and
12.95W power consumption) or IEEE 802.3at (PoE+). It responds to IEEE 802.3at discovery
as an IEEE 802.3af class 3 device. The access point operates below IEEE 802.3af standard
PoE power.
