Step 1
Choose Configuration > Wireless > Access Points > All APs.
The All APs page appears with a list of access points that are associated with the switch.
Step 2 Click the name of the access point.
The AP > Edit page appears.
Step 3 Click the Advanced tab.
Step 4 In the Power Over Ethernet Settings area, select the Pre-Standard 802.3af Switches check box.
Select this check box if the access point is being powered by a high-power 802.3af Cisco switch. This switch provides
more than the traditional 6 Watts of power but does not support the intelligent power management (IPM) feature.

Purpose
Enables the PoE power injector state. The access point remembers that a power
injector is connected to this particular switch port. If you relocate the access
point, you must reenter this command after the presence of a new power
injector is verified.
Enter this command if your network contains any older Cisco 6-W
Note
switches that could be accidentally overloaded if connected directly
to a 12-W access point. Make sure that the Cisco Discovery Protocol
(CDP) is enabled before entering this command. Otherwise, this
command will fail.
Removes the safety checks and allows the access point to be connected to any
switch port. You can use this command if your network does not contain any
older Cisco 6-W switches that could be overloaded if connected directly to a
12-W access point. The access point assumes that a power injector is always
connected. If you relocate the access point, it continues to assume that a power
injector is present.
Sets the MAC address of the switch port that has a power injector.
Note Enter this command if you know the MAC address of the connected
switch port and do not want to automatically detect it using the
installed option.
Displays common information that includes the PoE settings for a specific
access point.
The Power Type/Mode text box shows "degraded mode" if the access
Note
point is not operating at full power.
