To connect the wireless bridge to a power source:

CAUTION: Do not install the power injector outdoors. The unit is for indoor installation only.

NOTE: The wireless bridge’s Ethernet port does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Do not try to power the unit by connecting it directly to a network switch that provides IEEE 802.3af PoE. Always connect the unit to the included power injector.

Connect the Ethernet cable from the wireless bridge to the RJ-45 port labeled “Output” on the power injector.

Connect a straight-through unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable from a local LAN switch to the RJ-45 port labeled “Input” on the power injector. Use Category 5e or better UTP cable for 10/100BASE-TX connections.

NOTE: The RJ-45 port on the power injector is an MDI port. If connecting directly to a computer for testing the link, use a crossover cable.
