To link the access point to your Ethernet network, plug one end of another Ethernet
cable into the port labeled To Hub/Switch on the power supply, and plug the other
end into a LAN port (on a hub or in a wall).
CAUTION: To avoid damaging network equipment, make sure that the cables are
connected from access point to power supply to LAN as shown and described above.

Using a Power-Over-Ethernet LAN Port

If your LAN equipment complies with the IEEE 802.3af power-over-Ethernet standard, you can connect
the access point directly to a LAN port. For example, the illustration above right shows a connection
through a 3Com Ethernet Power Supply to a 3Com SuperStack
