2.3 AP-7562 Power Options Using Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the power source for an AP-7562 Access Point. For optimal performance, an AP-7562
can be powered by the following injectors and RFS controllers that support 802.AT PoE.
For installations requiring an outdoor PoE injector, the following options are recommended:
• AP-PSBIAS-7161-US
• AP-PSBIAS-7161-WW
The AP-PSBIAS-7161 is a 1-Port 802.3at PoE Gigabit Ethernet injector. The injector is IP66 rated for outdoor
deployments when used with the weatherproof kit supplied.
There are two power cord options. The AP-PSBIAS-7161-US comes equipped with a cable with a standard three
prong power plug. This plug can be removed by the installer if required when connecting to an AC source. The
AP-PSBIAS-7161-WW comes equipped with a cable with open leads. Mounting kits are not supplied (see
Hardware and Mounting Accessories on page 9 for mounting kit part numbers).
If located within 100 meters of the controller and a PoE port is available, the AP-7562 Access Point can also be
connected directly to a WLAN or Integrated Services Controller running WiNG 5.6 or higher.
A standard CAT5E cable can be used to provide the connection to the AP-7562. The GE1/POE port on the AP-7562
is where the standard CAT5E cable will connect to the Access Point and use of the weatherproof RJ45 plug kit
that comes with the unit will maintain a weatherproof seal for outdoor installation at the ethernet port.
If a CAT5E cable is used to connect the Access Point to an RFS controller through a building egress, a suitable
lightning protection system should be considered. A professional installer should be consulted to identify an
appropriate system.
NOTE Product installation and mounting instructions are provided with the outdoor power
injector.
