To set up the access point with a PoE connection to your network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN PoE port on the access point.
Note: Do not use the LAN port for a connection to the PoE switch.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE port on a PoE switch that is
connected to your network and to the Internet.
The Power LED lights solid amber. After about one minute, if the access point is
connected to a DHCP server, the Power LED turns solid green and the access point
is ready for you to perform the initial configuration.
For information about accessing the access point for initial configuration, see Connect
to the access point for initial configuration on page 25.

Set up the access point with a non-PoE network connection

You can connect the access point to a regular switch, that is, a non–Power over Ethernet
switch in your network. The switch must be connected to a network router that is
connected to the Internet. If you use a regular switch, the access point requires a power
adapter, which is an option that you can purchase.
In the access point default AP mode, WiFi clients can connect to the access point and
access your network and the Internet.
