[Final Draft—Nortel Confidential] Preface System Requirements Before you install the Access Point 2220, be sure you can meet the following requirements: • An A/C power outlet (100~240 V, 50~60 Hz) which will supply power for the access point (Alternatively, you can plug into a switch that delivers Power over Ethernet to power the Access Point 2220.) -
Page 17: Hardware Installation
“System Configuration” on page 19.) Connect the Ethernet Cable – The Access Point 2220 can be wired to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet through a network device such as a hub or a switch. Connect to the RJ-45 connector socket on the back panel with category 3, 4, or 5 UTP Ethernet cable and an RJ-45 connector. - Page 18 If you are not using PoE, use the separately orderable power adapter – Connect the power adapter cable to the 5 VDC power socket on the rear panel. Warning: Use ONLY the power adapter supplied by Nortel Networks for this product. Otherwise, the product may be damaged. Contact your Nortel Networks representative to order the power adapter.
