Powering the HP 527
The HP 527 can be powered by using a local power source, an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS), a user-supplied power generator, or a PoE-enabled switch that provides
10/10 0 Mb p s or 10 / 100/ 10 0 0 Mbps Eth e rn e t ports.
Before you connect power to the AP, verify that the power supply is steady.
The HP 527 supports an 802.3af PoE PSE connection to one device on LAN port 3.
This feature is dependent on the power source of the HP 527, as follows:
x
x
Supports 802.3af class 1/2/3 PoE Out when the 803.3at (PoE+) power supply
mode is used.
x
Do not support PoE Out when the standard 803.3af power supply mode is used.
Important information to read before installing
Professional installation is required. For indoor installation only. Before installing or
using the AP, consult with a professional installer trained in RF installation and
knowledgeable in local regulations including building and wiring codes, safety,
channel, power, and license requirements for the intended country. The end user is
responsible for ensuring that installation and use comply with local safety and radio
regulations.
