Access Point Option 4

The access point power options are listed below:

74164

•A switch with inline power, such as a Cisco Catalyst 3500XL, 3550-24 PWR, 4000, or 6500 switch

•A Cisco Aironet Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ-FIB or AIR-PWRINJ3)

•An inline power patch panel, such as the Cisco Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel

•A power module (Universal power supply)

Note Currently, the Catalyst 3550-24 PWR switch supports power for both the 2.4-GHz radio and the 5-GHz radio. Other switches and power patch panels might not provide enough power for the 5-GHz radio.

Note If you use in-line power, do not connect the power module to the access point. Using two power sources on the access point might cause the switch to shut down the port to which the access point is connected.
