CAUTION: To avoid damaging network equipment, make sure that the cables
!
are connected from access point to power supply to LAN as shown above and
described below.
The power supply can be located at any point between the access point and the
LAN access port, wherever a convenient power outlet exists. If you supply your
own Ethernet cable for connecting power, be sure that it is standard category 5
straight-through (8-wire) cable that has not been altered in any way. Use of
nonstandard cable could damage the access point.
Refer to the illustration above, and follow these steps:
1 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the access
point.
2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the port labeled To Access
Point on the power supply.
3 Connect the power cord to the power supply and plug the cord into a power
outlet.
4 To link the access point to your Ethernet network, plug one end of another
Ethernet cable into the port labeled To Hub/Switch on the power supply, and
plug the other end into a LAN port (on a hub or in a wall).

If your LAN equipment complies with the IEEE 802.3af power-over-Ethernet
standard, you can connect the access point directly to a LAN port. For example,
