Selecting a Power Configuration

Selecting a Power Configuration
The power configurations available for the Access Point include local power, remote
power, and redundant power.

Local Power Configuration

In the local power configuration, the AP receives operating power directly from one local
source (such as a power module connected to a nearby wall outlet). The output plug of the
power module is connected directly into the AP chassis-mounted power connector.

Remote Power Configuration

In the remote power configuration, the AP receives operating power over the Ethernet cable
from one remote source (such as a power module installed in the wiring closet or other
remote location). This option requires installing the remote power injector in the same
location as the power module. The output of the power module is connected to the remote
power injector. The Ethernet interface cable also plugs into the remote power injector.
Another Ethernet cable is connected between the injector and the AP to provide input/
output signals and power.
Enterasys offers an optional rack mount kit that allows installation of up to three remote
power injectors into one standard rack-mount panel.

Redundant Power Configuration

The AP can be connected to an independent source of local power and to an independent
source of remote power. If one of these power sources goes down, the AP continues
uninterrupted operation with power received from the other (redundant) power source.
2-2 Cabling and Wiring
CAUTION: Label the remote power injector cable at the opposite end
from the power injector (AP or wall jack) to ensure that this cable is
not connected to another device. The procedures in
