Powering the Access Point
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 2-26).
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 2-30).
Step 7 Continue with What to Do Next, page 2-40.
Connecting an Ethernet Cable to the Access Point
You need to supply these tools and materials:
• Shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet (CAT5e or better) cable with 0.2 to 0.35 in. (0.51 to 0.89 cm)
diameter
• RJ-45 connector and installation tool
• Adjustable Wrench or 28 mm box wrench
• Large Phillips or Flat Blade screwdriver
To connect the shielded Ethernet cable to the access point, follow these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect power to the power injector, and ensure all power sources to the access point are turned off.
Warning
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit.
Statement 1028
Step 2 Ensure a 6 AWG ground wire is connected to the access point (see the “Grounding the Access Point”
section on page 2-27).
Step 3 Use a large Phillips or Flat Blade screw driver to remove the Ethernet connector plug from the access
point. Do not discard plug and rubber seal unless you are certain that the port will not have to be
re-plugged (see Figure 2-26 for the location).
Step 4 Loosen the Thread-Lock sealing nut of the cable gland by turning it counter clockwise, but do not
remove it (see Figure 2-18).
