AP-5131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 2-8
2.5 Power Options
The power options for the AP-5131 include:
• Symbol Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR)
• Symbol 48-Volt Power Supply (Part No. 50-24000-050)
• Any standard 802.3af compliant device.
2.6 Symbol Power Injector System
The AP-5131 can receive power either directly form a Symbol 48V AC-DC power supply
(Part No. 50-24000-050) or via an Ethernet cable connected to the LAN port (using the 802.3af
standard).
When users purchase a Symbol WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure
locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the
Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each
access point location. An approved power injector solution merges power and Ethernet into one
cable, reducing the burden of installation and allows optimal AP-5131 placement in respect to the
intended radio coverage area.
The Symbol Power Injector is included in certain AP-5131 kits. The Symbol Power Injector
(Part No. AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR) is an integrated AC-DC converter and 802.3af power injector which
requires 110-220V AC power to combine low-voltage DC with Ethernet data in a single cable
connecting to the AP-5131. The AP-5131 can only use a Power Injector when connected to the LAN
port.
The Symbol AP-5131 Power Supply (Part No. 50-24000-050) is not included in the kit and is orderable
separately as an accessory.
A separate power injector is required for each AP-5131 comprising the network.
CAUTION The AP-5131 supports any standards-based 802.3af compliant power
source (including non-Symbol power sources). However, using the
wrong solution (including a POE system used on a legacy Symbol
access point) could severely damage the AP-5131 and void the
product warranty.
