4 Connect the Bridge to the Power Supply and
the LAN
You can connect to the LAN either through the 3Com power supply or through IEEE 802.3af power-
over-Ethernet compliant equipment.
Using the Power Supply
The power supply can be located indoors at any point between the bridge and the LAN access port
where an accessible power outlet exists.
Connect the cable coming from the bridge to the port labeled To Access Point on the power supply.
Connect another Ethernet cable from the port labeled To Hub/Switch on the power supply to an
Ethernet LAN port, as shown.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging network equipment, make sure that the cables are
connected from bridge to power supply to LAN as shown and described above.
Using a Power-Over-Ethernet LAN Port
If your LAN equipment complies with the IEEE 802.3af power-over-Ethernet standard, you can connect
the bridge directly to a LAN port. For example, the illustration shows the connection through a 3Com
Ethernet Power Supply to a 3Com SuperStack
®
Switch.
