Hardware Installation
7
When users purchase a Motorola WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure
locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the
Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each
access point location. An approved power injector solution merges power and Ethernet into one
cable, reducing the burden of installation and allows optimal AP-7131 placement in respect to the
intended radio coverage area.
The Power Injector is included in certain AP-7131 product SKUs. The Power Injector
(Part No. AP-PSBIAS-1P3-AFR) is a high power POE Injector delivering up to 30 watts.
The Motorola AP-7131 Power Supply (Part No. 50-14000-247R) is not included with the AP-7131 and
is orderable separately as an accessory.
A separate Power Injector is required for each AP-7131 comprising the network.
The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall mounted
using the power injector’s wall mounting key holes. The following guidelines should be adhered to
before cabling the Power Injector to an Ethernet source and an AP-7131:
CAUTION The AP-7131 supports any standards-based 802.3af high power
complaint power source. However, using the wrong solution (including
a POE system used on a legacy Motorola access point) could severely
damage the AP-7131 and void the product warranty.
