Option 4

The access point power options are listed below:

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

81596

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

A power injector (Cisco AIR-PWRINJ3= or Cisco AIR-PWRINJ-FIB= )

A power module (Universal power supply)

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