Danger

The installer is responsible for ensuring that powering the AP from this type of power injector is

allowed by local and/or national safety and telecommunications equipment standards.

Note

Step 4 Ensure that the antennas are connected, and that ground is attached to the AP before you apply power to the

AP.

Step 5 Connect a shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet (CAT5e or better) cable between the power injector and the AP's

PoE-in connector.

Step 6 Connect the Ethernet cable to the AP PoE-In port. See Connecting an Ethernet Cable to the Access Point , on

page 55.

Connecting a DC Power Cable to the Access Point

You can purchase the AC/DC power adapter AIR-PWRADPT-RGD2= that comes with a 2-pin DC plug

pre-installed. If you supply DC power using your own DC supply, you need to use the DC plug kit supplied

with the AIR-ACC-KIT1= accessory kit.

When powering the AP with DC power, you must ensure that DC power can be conveniently removed from

the unit. The power should not be removed by disconnecting the DC power connector on the unit

Connect the unit only to a DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)

requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033

Danger

To connect a DC power cable, you need to supply these tools and material:

• Cisco orderable option DC power supply (AIR-PWRADPT-RGD2=) with an attached 2-pin connector

or Two-pin DC power connector (supplied with Cisco AIR-ACC-KIT1= kit)

• Shielded outdoor-rated DC power cable (18 AWG) with outside cable diameter of 0.20 to 0.35 inch (0.51

to 0.89 cm)

• Adjustable or open-end wrench

• Hex crimp tool: 0.10 inch (2.54-mm)

To connect the DC power cable to the AP, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Before connecting DC power to the AP, ensure that the ground is connected to the AP. See Grounding the

Access Point, on page 49.

Step 2 Turn off all power sources to the AP, including the DC power source.
