12 AP-8432 Access Point
• The Power Injector isn’t a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet
signal. For optimal performance, ensure the Power Injector is placed as
close as possible to the data port.
To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and an Access Point:
1. Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (110VAC to 220VAC).
2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data &
Power Out connector and the Access Point’s GE1/POE port.
3. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply
(host) and the Power Injector Data In connector.
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power
Injector and Access Point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Injector receives
power and is ready for device connection and operation as soon as AC
power is applied. Refer to the Installation Guide shipped with the Power
Injector for a description of the device’s LEDs.
2.5 Wall Mount Instructions
A wall mount deployment requires hanging the AP-8432 with the provided
mounting bracket and two screws. The AP-8432 can be mounted on to any
plaster, wood or cement wall surface using the provided mounting bracket.
The hardware required to install the AP-8432 on a wall consists of:
• Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
(M3.5 x 0.6 x 23 mm)
• Mounting bracket
Optional customer provided installation tools include:
• Phillips head screw driver, or drill and drill bit
CAUTION To avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable POE from a
wired switch port connected to an Access Point if mid-span power
sourcing equipment (PSE) is used between the two, regardless of
the manufacturer of the switch.
CAUTION Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC
cable with an appropriate ground connection approved for the
country of operation.
