Installing The Power Over Ethernet (Poe) Unit; Ap 7161 Poe Option - Motorola AP 7161 Installation Manual

28 AP 7161 Access Point Installation Guide

Installing the Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Unit

Optionally, the AP 7161 access point can be powered by a standalone gigabit PoE injector or from a Motorola Solutions LAN
controller. A standard CAT5E cable can be used to provide the connection. When connecting to the GE1/POE port on the AP
7161, you must use the weatherproof RJ45 plug kit that comes with the unit and it must be properly installed to maintain a
weatherproof seal.

AP 7161 PoE Option

The recommended device for the Power-Over Ethernet (PoE) option is the Motorola Solutions AP-PSBIAS-7161, 1-Port 802.3at
Gigabit device. The device is IP66 rated for outdoor deployments. If the recommended Motorola Solutions gigabit PoE injector is
used, a weatherproof plug is provided for connecting the CAT5E cables. The port labeled DATA PWR OUT is used for the
connection to the AP 7161. The port labeled DATA IN is used for the connection to the wired network. If the CAT5E cable used
to connect the wired network and the PoE injector has to travel through a building egress, a suitable lightning protection system
must be deployed (see Ethernet and Lightning Protection on page 12).
The device injects power over Ethernet data cabling. It maintains both the IEEE802.3at and IEEE802.3af standards. These
power levels support use for a range of Ethernet-based applications, such as video phones, 802.11n access points, WiMAX
Transmitters, PTZ cameras and more.
The AP-PSBIAS-7161 DATA PWR OUT port is designed to carry gigabit Ethernet data and power over a standard CAT5E cable,
delivered through 2-pairs (Alt B: pins 4,5 (+) and 7,8 (-).
The DATA IN and DATA PWR OUT ports on the recommended Power-Over Ethernet (PoE) device for AP 7161 outdoor
deployments are shielded RJ45 data sockets.They cannot be used as plain old telephone service (POTS) telephone sockets.
Only RJ45 data connectors can be connected to these sockets.
Power is supplied to the unit using the LINE AC port. Connect the network LAN cable to the DATA IN port.
Use the supplied RJ45 connector to connect the Ethernet cable from the DATA PWR OUT to the GE1/POE port on the AP 7161
access point.
