Connect the Power Injector
Caution! Do not locate the power injector outdoors. The unit is for indoor use only.
Note: The wireless Ethernet port does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based
on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Do not try to power the unit by connecting it directly to a
network switch that provides IEEE 802.3af PoE. Always connect the unit to the included
power injector module.
Perform the following steps to connect the power injector:
1. Connect the other end of the provided Ethernet cable (already connected to the
OAP180) to the RJ-45 port labeled Output on the power injector. See Figure 9.
Figure 9: Connecting the Power Injector
2.
Connect a straight-through unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable (not included)
from a local LAN switch to the RJ-45 port labeled Input on the power injector. See
Figure 9. Use Category 5e or better UTP cable for 10/100BASE-TX connections.
Note: The RJ-45 port on the power injector is an MDI port. If connecting directly to a
computer for testing the link, use a crossover cable.
3. Insert the power cable plug directly into the standard AC receptacle on the power
injector. See Figure 9.
4. Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power
source.
Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use
a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
5. Check the LED on top of the power injector to be sure that power is being supplied
to the
OAP180 through the Ethernet connection.
