“Inline” or “midspan” POE devices require Aruba serial breakout adapter, Part Number CA-SPOE-ADAPT-4. 1.IEEE 802.3af-complaint devices like the AP60 and AP61 use the same wire pairs for data versus for power. Within the 802.3af standard, there are two sub-specifications on how wire pairs are as- signed. -

Manual provisioning requires this procedure. You must use the serial console breakout adapter cable to be able to access the serial console interface to the AP60/61 while allowing the device to be powered by the AC adapter or POE (from an Aruba Mobility Controller). - Page 23 —Be sure to comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of AUTION installation and operation of the AP. Do not allow the Aruba AP60/61 or optional power adapter (if used) to be connected to or make contact with metal or power outlets on a different electrical ground than the device to which it is connected.
