Mounting An Altitude 4700 Series Access Point - Extreme Networks Altitude 4700 Series Product Reference Manual

Hardware Installation
Preparing for Site Installation
The Power Injector can be installed free standing on an even horizontal surface or wall mounted using
the unit's wall mounting key holes. The following guidelines should be adhered to before cabling the
Power Injector to an Ethernet source and access point:
Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector.
●
Keep the unit away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.
●
The Power Injector is not a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal. For optimal
●
performance, ensure the unit is placed as close as possible to the network data port.
CAUTION
To avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable POE from a wired switch port connected to an
access point if mid-span power sourcing equipment (PSE) is used between the two, regardless of the manufacturer
of the switch.
Cabling the Power Injector
To install a Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and an access point:
CAUTION
Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC cable with an appropriate ground
connection approved for the country of operation.
1 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Injector's
Data In connector.
2 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector's Data & Power Out connector and the
access point's GE1/POE port.
CAUTION
Cabling a Power Injector to the WAN port (GE2) renders the AP nonoperational. Only use an AP-
PSBIAS-1P3-AFR (or AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR at worse access point performance) Power Injector with the access
point's GE1/POE (LAN) port.
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and access point does
not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch.
The Power Injector receives power and is ready for access point connection and operation as soon as
AC power is applied. Refer to the Installation Guide shipped with the Power Injector for a
description of the device's LED behavior.
3 Verify all cable connections are complete before supplying power to the access point.
