SMC Networks 2.4GHz/5GHz manual Hardware Installation

Hardware Installation

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 the 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.
