Article 800, which includes requirements for a Listed primary protector upon entering the building, and limits the installation to only Listed networking equipment designed to accommodate telecommunication interfaces.

Caution To provide inline PoE, you must use the power injector (AIR- PWRINJ1500=) specified for the access point. Other power injectors, PoE switches, and 802.3af power sources may not provide adequate power, which may cause the access point to malfunction and cause over-current conditions at the power source. You must ensure that the switch port connected to the access point has PoE turned off.

Refer to these sections for installation details.

Access Point Mounting Orientations

When installing an access point on a horizontal or vertical surface, you must ensure that the access point is correctly oriented.

Caution When mounting the access point in a horizontal position, you must position the side with the 2.4-GHz antenna connector facing down (see Figure 2-4). When you are mounting the access point in a vertical position, you must position the access point with the 5-GHz antenna connector facing up (see Figure 2-5). This positioning is required to prevent water intrusion into the unit from the vent. You must ensure that the vent is not obstructed by anything.
