Power
The AP511 access point supports both 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 the AP511 Back View illustration. PoE allows the Ethernet port to draw power from a 48VDC IEEE 802.3at compliant source for 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, ensure you have the following items:
- An 8-conductor, CAT5E or better UTP cable of the 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, and 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), with an output voltage of DC 48V and an output current of ≥0.6A.
- A terminal or a notebook for configuration.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the AP on a ceiling rail, a wall, or in various common junction boxes. First, determine the optimal installation location. The position should be at the center of the required coverage area and 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 located away from the AP's installation position.
It is strictly prohibited to install the AP near 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 for detailed instructions.
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The LED on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving power and initializing successfully.
