Hardware Installation

4-8

Note: The wireless bridge’s Ethernet port does not support Power over

Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Do not try to
power the unit by connecting it directly to a network switch that
provides IEEE 802.3af PoE. Always connect the unit to the
included power injector module.

1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the wireless bridge to the

RJ-45 port labeled “Output” on the power injector.

2.

Connect a straight-through unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable from a local LAN switch to the RJ-45 port labeled
“Input” on the power injector. Use Category 5 or better UTP
cable for 10/100BASE-TX connections.

Note: The RJ-45 port on the power injector is an MDI port. If connecting

directly to a computer for testing the link, use a crossover cable.

3.

Insert the power cable plug directly into the standard AC
receptacle on the power injector.

4.

Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin
socket, AC power source.

Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord.

You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the
receptacle type in your country.
