for the R730 to operate in full-power mode. This may
require enabling both LLDP and Power via MDI (dot3) on
the switch, if available.

– If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface using the
secure mounting bracket kit, then you need an electric
drill with 4.75mm (3/16") drill bits.
– If you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole using the
secure mounting bracket kit, then you will also need a
38.1mm to 63.5mm (1.5" to 2.5") pipe or pole, two pole
clamps, and hand tools to tighten the clamps.
Step 2: Connecting Your Computer to the AP
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer's
network port to the 5 Gbps PoE In port on the AP (A in
the Figure below).
2. Using a DC power adapter (sold separately), connect the
AP 48V DC port (B in the Figure below) to a convenient
and protected power source.
NOTE: Alternatively, connect the 5G POE In port to a
PoE injector or switch for both power and network
connectivity.
