Installing the Power Injector

About this task

The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface, or wall mounted using the Power Injector's wall mounting key holes. The following guidelines should be adhered to before cabling the power injector to an ethernet source and an access point:
  • Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector.
  • Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.
  • The Power Injector isn‘t a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet signal.
  • For optimal performance, ensure the Power Injector is placed as close as possible to the data port.
Caution

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.
Caution

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.

To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and an Access Point:

Procedure

  1. Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (110VAC to 220VAC).
  2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the Access Point‘s GE1/POE port.
  3. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Injector Data In connector.
    Note

    Note

    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 Injector receives power and is ready for device 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 LEDs.
