Connecting Power 9
Connecting Power The access point is powered by the 3Com Integrated Power-over-Ethernet power
supply, which provides power over a standard category 5 straight (8-wire) Ethernet
cable. This eliminates the need to run standard power directly to the access point.
The power supply can be located at any point between the access point and the
LAN access port (if you plan to connect to a wired LAN), wherever a convenient
power outlet exists.LEDs light.
When you connect the power make sure you connect the cable to the port labeled
To Access Point on the power supply. When the access point receives power, the
LEDs light.
The access point is IEEE 802.3af compliant. Before connecting the access point
to your own power-over-Ethernet hub or switch, ensure that your equipment
also complies 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.
