3. Setup and Installation

The ECW210L Access Point offers flexible installation options, including ceiling and wall mounting. It is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE+), simplifying deployment by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet near the device.

The ECW210L supports PoE+ (802.3at) for power. Connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE+ enabled switch or injector to the LAN port on the back of the access point. A power adapter is not included with the device, as it is designed for PoE+ deployment.
