CONNECTING POWER

It is advisable to connect the power and check the Ethernet cables and LEDs before installing the unit in a hard-to-reach location.

The access point complies with the IEEE 802.3af power-over-Ethernet standard. It receives power over a standard category 5 straight (8-wire) Ethernet cable.

There are three ways to supply power to the access point:

Use the AC adapter included with the Access Point 7250.

Use the 3Com Integrated Power-over-Ethernet power supply. In this case, you need to supply a second Ethernet cable to connect to the wired LAN.

Connect the access point directly to your own power-over-Ethernet hub or switch, which must also comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard.

If you supply your own Ethernet cable for connecting power, be sure that it is standard category 5 straight-through (8-wire) cable that has not been altered in any way. Use of nonstandard cable could damage the access point.

USING THE INCLUDED AC ADAPTER

The power supply included with the Access Point 7250 is an AC adapter.

1Connect the power cord to the AC adapter and plug the cord into a power outlet.

2Connect the DC power into the Access Point 7250.
