AP510i Powering Methods

Details about AP510i access point power options.

You can power the access point through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN 1 (5GE) and LAN2 (GE) ports), see AP510i back ports).

If you need to power the AP510i with an external 12V DC power supply, you can plug the power cord into the power connector on the back of the access point. There is no wall mount bracket for the 12V DC power supply. When the device is powered on, the LED on the front face of the access point is lit.

Table 1. AP510i powering methods
Power source	Description
Power over Ethernet (PoE)	Redundant power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of AP510i. The ports are compliant to be powered with 802.3af and provide full functionality with 802.3at. This is the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations.
External 12V DC power supply (optional; ordering part #37219- PWR 12VDC, 3A, 2.5 mm × 5.5 mm connector)	The AP510i can also be powered by an external DC power supply plugged into an AC source. Plug the supply‘s input jack into the 12V DC port.

Note

PoE is disabled when external power supply is used.

The following configuration will allow you to bring up the access point in 802.11af power mode. AP510i 802.11af profile:

2×2 (16dBm for both 2.4G and 5G at u.fl connector)
Only dual band (mode 1), doesn‘t support dual 5G (mode 3)
Only 1GE Ethernet, multi-rate Ethernet will be disabled
