Step 4: Power on the Unit
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.
CAUTION: Proxim recommends the use of a lightning arrestor at the building ingress point. You can purchase the
Proxim Lightning Protector MP.11/QB.11 (70251); see the documentation that comes with the unit for more
information and installation instructions.
Step 5: View LEDs
When the unit is powered on, it performs startup diagnostics. When startup is complete, the LEDs show the unit’s
operational state. 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
become damaged.

During bootup, all LEDs are blinking. Blinking can continue for up to four minutes (when DFS is enabled, for example);
however, if the LEDs are still blinking for over four minutes, you should check your installation and proper operation of the
Ethernet and wireless links to other units. If they are correct, contact Technical Support; there could be a problem with
your hardware.
NOTE: When powering the unit in below freezing temperatures, the unit must self-heat before booting. This is indicated
by a solid red LED. This state can take up to 30 minutes, depending upon the ambient temperature.
LEDs exhibit the following behavior:
