Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables

Connecting to an Ethernet Network with an Inline Power Source

Be careful when handling the access point; the bottom plate might be hot.
Caution
Note If your access point is connected to in-line power, do not connect the power module to the access point.
Using two power sources on the access point might cause the access point to shut down to protect internal
components and might cause the switch to shut down the port to which the access point is connected. If
your access point shuts down, you must remove all power and reconnect only a single power source.
Follow these steps to connect the access point to the Ethernet LAN when you have an inline power
source:
Step 1 Connect a Category 5E (or higher) Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector labeled Ethernet on
the access point (see
