The AP’s LAN/PoE port supports a speed of up to 2.5 Gbps. The AP is designed to use a PoE
cable for power and Internet, but you can use a separately purchased 12V (2.5A) power adapter
and Ethernet cable:•Use a PoE cable: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN/PoE port of the AP andconnect the other end to a PoE+ switch port that supplies 802.3at PoE+ (30W) power. Make
sure that the switch has Internet connectivity.

•Use a 12V (2.5A) power adapter: Connect the power adapter’s DC plug to the AP, andinsert the power adapter in a power outlet.
Next, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN/PoE port of the AP, and connect theother end to a port on a switch or router with an Internet connection.

The power LED on the AP lights. For more Information, see the table with LED information.
