Powering the Access Point
Ensure that the AP is powered using a Underwriters' Laboratories-compliant (UL-compliant) PoE power
source. You must connect the unit only to the PoE network, without routing to the outside plant.
Caution
The AP can be powered only through PoE using the following:
• 802.3bt: Any 802.3bt-compliant switch port or Cisco Power Injector AIR-PWRINJ7=
• Cisco Universal PoE (Cisco UPoE)
• 802.3at (PoE+): Any 802.3at-compliant (30.0 W) switch port
• 802.3af: Any 802.3af-compliant (15.4 W) switch port
If 802.3af is used, all the radios get switched off, the Ethernet port is downgraded
to 1 GbE, and the USB port is shut off.
