Features and Benefits
Power Connector
The access point does not have a power switch. It is powered on when connected to the AC power adapter, and the power adapter is connected to a power source. The power supply automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100‐240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
The access point may also receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a switch or other network device that supplies power over the network cable based on the IEEE 802.3af standard.
