About the Harmony Power System 10
Typical Network Configuration
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate how a Harmony Power System fits into your existing
networking infrastructure. In Figure 1, the Harmony Power System connects to a
Harmony OpenAir Access Point using an AP Power Over LAN Module. In Figure 2, the
Harmony Power System connects to two Harmony 802.11a Access Points and one
Harmony 802.11b Access Point.
In Figure 2, three Ethernet cables connect the network switch to three Input Ports on
the Harmony Power System. Only data travels over these cables.
Another set of Ethernet cables connects three Harmony Access Points to three Output
Ports. These cables provide the Harmony Access Points with a data connection to the
network switch and with DC power from the Power System.
Note: The Input and Output ports are paired. If you connect a cable from the net-
work hub/switch to an Input Port, you must use the corresponding Output
Port to provide power and data to an Access Point.
For each Input Port on the Harmony Power System that is connected to the network
hub/switch, an Ethernet cable connects a Harmony Access Point to the corresponding
Output Port.
