Powering Up Sensors
Power Options
Customers deploying AirMagnet Enterprise can power their AirMagnet sensors using a
standard Ethernet cable, thus avoiding the need to run the standard electrical wiring to
each and every individual sensor. AirMagnet offers two Power over Ethernet (PoE)
options, and customers can typically make their own choice based on the quality of the
switch to which their AirMagnet sensors will be connected.
Powering Up via an 802.3af-Compliant PoE Injector
To power up sensor via an 802.3af-compliant PoE Injector:
1. Connect the PoE injector (via the Data Only port) to a network switch or
hub, using a 10/100 Ethernet cable.
2. Connect the PoE injector (via the Power and Data port) to the sensor
using another 10/100 Ethernet cable.
3. Plug the PoE power cord into an electrical outlet.
Powering Up Directly via an 802.3af-Compliant Switch
To power up the sensor directly via an 802.3af-compliant switch: Connect the sensor to
an IEEE 802.3af-compliant network switch (e.g., a Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series PoE-24)
using a 10/100 Ethernet cable.
Powering Up via +12 volt Power Supply
Use AM/A5033 UPA (sold separately).
Note: For 12 volt power supply, use only AM/A5033 UPA supplied by or authorized by Fluke.
