Power
The AP511 access point supports a direct DC power adapter (48V DC nominal, sold separately) and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The DC power connector port is located on the back of the device, as shown in Figure 3.
The PoE allows the Ethernet port to draw power from a 48VDC IEEE 802.3at compliant source with full functionality.
Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
Pre-installation Checklist
Before installing your AP511 Stellar access point, be sure that you have the following items:
- 8-conductor, CAT5E or better UTP cable of required length.
- CAT5E supports 5GE up to 55 meters in a high Alien noise environment, 5GE up to 100 meters in a low Alien noise environment, 2.5GE up to 100 meters.
- One of the following power sources:
- DC48V IEEE 802.3at compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source (PoE switch or PoE injector).
- AC-DC adapter (sold separately), output voltage DC 48V, output current ≥0.6A
- A terminal or a notebook
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the AP on a ceiling rail or on a wall, or in various common Junction boxes. You should first determine the location of the installation. The installation position is located at the center of the required coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference.
- Minimize the number of obstructions (such as walls) between the AP and user terminals.
- Electronic equipment or devices (such as microwave ovens) that may produce radio frequency noise should be away from the installation position of the AP.
It is strictly prohibited to install around stagnant water, water seepage, leakage or condensation. Avoid cable condensation or water seepage along the cables connecting to the AP.
AP Installation
Refer to the mounting kits installation Guide.
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The LED on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving power and initializing successfully.
