2.2 Connecting the ES2440
CAUTION: Never
plug the ES2440
into a PoE adapter/injec-
tor or DC power supply
other than one obtained
from Fortress specifical-
ly for use with the
ES2440. Using the
wrong power adapter
can damage the ES2440.
The ES2440 can be connected temporarily to preconfigure the
Mesh Point software, and then permanently for deployment.
2.2.1 Connections for Preconfiguration
Mesh Point software should be configured in advance of
deployment. This section provides instructions for temporarily
connecting the ES2440 Mesh Point for preconfiguration.
1 Position the Mesh Point so that it operates only within its
safe temperature range.
2 Apply power to the ES2440, either through the Ethernet1/
WAN/POE
port to PoE+ or through the DC Power inlet to
external power. Refer to Section 2.1.2, Powering Options,
for additional detail.
In either case, you must use a powering device (PoE+
adapter/injector or DC adapter/supply) obtained from
Fortress specifically for use with the ES2440.
3 Connect a standard Cat5e cable to one of the ES2440’s
default clear Ethernet ports:
Ethernet2 or Ethernet3, and
connect the other end to a computer or a switch on the
wired LAN.
To complete the configuration, refer to the Software GUI Guide
or the Software CLI Guide for instructions on Logging On,
Licensing, and Configuring the Mesh Point software.
