You can power the wireless access point with either PoE+ on the LAN1
port, LAN2 port or an AC/DC power adapter. The wireless access point is
a PoE+ Class 4 powered devices, with maximum power consumption of
25.5 watts. To power the device with PoE+, you have to connect LAN1 or
LAN2 port to PoE+ power sourcing equipment (PSE). The network cable
connecting the LAN1 or LAN2 port to the PoE+ PSE carries both network
traffic and PoE+.
You can power the device with both PoE+ and an AC/DC power adapter.
However, the two power sources are not load sharing. The power adapter
is the primary power source and PoE+ is redundant power.
The LAN ports have an eight-pin RJ45 connector. The port uses four pins
of the connector at 100 Mbps and all eight pins at 1G/2.5G/5Gbps. Refer
to the tables in "Port Pinouts" on page 62 for the pin assignments.
The LAN ports have speeds of 100Mbps/1G/2.5G/5Gbps. The speeds are
set automatically with Auto-Negotiation. You cannot disable
Auto-Negotiation on the ports.
Note
The LAN ports should be connected to network devices that also
adjust port speeds with Auto-Negotiation. If a network device does
not support Auto-Negotiation, the LAN ports operate at 100 Mbps,
which may reduce network performance.
Both LAN ports can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode at 100Mbps,
and full-duplex mode at 1G/2.5G/5Gbps. The ports are IEEE802.3u
compliant and use Auto-Negotiation to set the duplex mode. You cannot
disable Auto-Negotiation on the port.
Note
The network device to which you connect the LAN ports should also
set the duplex mode with Auto-Negotiation. If a network device does
not support Auto-Negotiation, the LAN port operates at half-duplex
mode. This may result in a duplex mode mismatch if the network
device is operating at full duplex.
When operating at 100Mbps, the twisted-pair ports feature automatic
MDIX detection. (Automatic MDIX detection does not apply to 1G/2.5G/
5Gbps.) This feature automatically configures the ports to MDI or MDI-X
depending on the wiring configuration of the port on the Ethernet switch.
