SMC Networks 2.4GHz/5GHz manual Power Injector Module

Introduction

Power Injector Module

The wireless bridge receives power through its network cable connection using power-over-Ethernet technology. A power injector module is included in the wireless bridge package and provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one for connecting to the wireless bridge (Output), and the other for connecting to a local LAN switch (Input).

The Input port uses an MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin configuration. You can therefore use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect this port to most network interconnection devices such as a switch or router that provide MDI-X ports. However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device that does not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable.

The wireless bridge does not have a power switch. It is powered on when its Ethernet port is connected to the power injector module, and the power injector module is connected to an AC power source. The power injector includes one LED indicator that turns on when AC power is applied.
