Supported Power Sources
The CMAP supports the following power sources:
Power over Cable (POC): 40 to 90V AC supplied through the RF coaxial cable (attached
■
to Connector B) that is connected to the cable modem termination system (CMTS)
backbone. POC is the primary and conventional source of power for the CMAP.
DC power (via DC connector): External 12 VDC. Use this only when staging or
■
debugging the CMAP.
NOTE: PoE output is disabled when the CMAP is powered via the 12 VDC connector.
Heaters
The CMAP includes two built-in heaters that permit operation at extremely low
temperatures. They are typically on below 0 degrees C.
The heaters are enabled by default. If preferred, the access point heater can be disabled
from the Web interface. The cable modem heater cannot be disabled.
