SMC Networks 2.4GHz/5GHz 4-8

Hardware Installation

4-8

Note: The wireless bridge’s Ethernet port does not support Power over

Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Do not try to

power the unit by connecting it directly to a network switch that

provides IEEE 802.3af PoE. Always connect the unit to the

included power injector module.

1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the wireless bridge to the

RJ-45 port labeled “Output” on the power injector.

2. Connect a straight-through unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)

cable from a local LAN switch to the RJ-45 port labeled

“Input” on the power injector. Use Category 5 or better UTP

cable for 10/100BASE-TX connections.

Note: The RJ-45 port on the power injector is an MDI port. If connecting

directly to a computer for testing th e link, use a crossover cable.

3. Insert the power cable plug directly into the standard AC

receptacle on the power injector.

4. Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin

socket, AC power source.

Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord.

You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the

receptacle type in your country.
