3. To connect the unit through a hub or a switch to a PC, connect a straightthrough Ethernet cable between the
network interface card in the PC and the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the PoE
adapter.
To connect the unit directly to a PC, connect a cross-over Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the
PC and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the power injector.
If you are connecting the PC directly to the unit, use a crossover Ethernet cable between the network interface
card in the PC and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the power injector.
Step 7: Power on the Unit
The power injector provides Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), supplying electricity and wired connectivity to the unit
over a single 24 AWG CAT5 (diameter .114 to .250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm). The unit is not 802.3af-compatible.
Always use the supplied power injector to ensure that the unit is powered properly. Note that the Active Ethernet
module provides +48 VDC over a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable.
Once you have connected the power injector to the Ethernet cabling and plugged the power injector cord into an
AC outlet, the unit is powered on. There is no ON/OFF switch on the unit. To remove power, unplug the AC cord
from the AC outlet or disconnect the RJ45 connector from the “Data and Power Out” port on the power injector.
Press the Reload button (on the side of the power injector) for five seconds during power-up remotely resets the
Mesh radios to their factory default settings. You will need to use the end of a pin or paperclip to depress the
button.
WARNING: To avoid damaging your router/switch, do not connect the RJ45 port labeled either “Data & Power
Out” from the power injector to your router/switch.
Step 8: View LEDs
The LEDs are present at the unit’s Ethernet connector; unscrew the watertight cap if necessary to view the LEDs.
NOTE: Make sure the domed sealing nut is loose before unscrewing the cap or the Ethernet cable may be twisted and
damaged.
