Configuring the Access Point

Configuring for Management by ZoneDirector

■ PoE injector (if not supplied with the Access Point, you can purchase a third party

802.3af-compliant PoE injector or switch)

■ 6mm Phillips screwdriver

If you are planning to power the Access Point using a 12v DC connection, you will also

need the following:

■ One 3.1mm-3.3mm UL1185 (80°, 300V) single shielded DC cable

■ 12v DC, 1A DC power source (for example, a battery)

■ 3mm Phillips screwdriver

Step 1: Connect the Cables to the Access Point

The procedure for connecting cables to the Access Point depends on the power source

that you will be using. You can do one of the following:

■ Use Power Over Ethernet

■ Use DC Power

NOTE: You only need to connect one type of power source at this point, even if you are

planning to use both PoE and DC power in your final deployment.

Use Power Over Ethernet

1. Take out the PoE injector and the power adapter from the Access Point package.

2. Obtain two Ethernet cables.

3. Connect one end of one Ethernet cable to the PoE Out port on the PoE injector, and

then connect the other end to the RJ45 port on the Access Point.

4. Connect one end of the other Ethernet cable to the 10/100 DATA IN port on the PoE

injector.

5. Connect the power jack to the DC 48V IN connector on the PoE injector, and then

plug the power adapter to a power source. Verify that the PWR LED on the back of the

Access Point is steady green.

NOTE: If the power outlet in your installation environment is three-pronged, use the two-

prong plug adapter that is shipped with the Access Point.
