1.Maximum transmit power varies by channel and according to individual country regulations. Refer to the product documentation for specific details.

Note When powered with a non-Cisco standard PoE switch, the 1250 series access point operates under 15.4 Watts. Even if the non-Cisco switch or midspan device is capable of providing higher power, the access point does not operate in enhanced PoE mode.

You can configure PoE through either the controller GUI or CLI.

Using the GUI to Configure Power over Ethernet

Using the controller GUI, follow these steps to configure PoE.

Step 1 Click Wireless > Access Points > All APs and then the name of the desired access point.

Step 2 Click the Advanced tab to open the All APs > Details for (Advanced) page (see Figure 7-26).
