Powering the UniFi AP

Use a UniFi Switch with PoE or a Gigabit PoE adapter for power.

Connecting to a UniFi Switch with PoE

Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP directly to a PoE port on the UniFi Switch with PoE.

Connecting to the PoE Adapter

1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the device to the POE port of the PoE adapter.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port of the PoE adapter.
3. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter, and then plug the Power Cord into a power outlet.

Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)

1. Remove the PoE Mounting Bracket from the adapter, place the bracket at the desired location, and mark the two holes.
2. Pre-drill the holes if necessary, and secure the bracket using two fasteners (not included).
3. Align the adapter's slots with the tabs of the PoE Mounting Bracket, and then slide the adapter down.
