The port is used to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data, or to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE switch,
for both data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) through Ethernet cable. The port supports transmission speed of
10/100/1000/2500 Mbps for EAP660 HD and 10/100/1000 Mbps for EAP610 / EAP620 HD.
Ethernet Port: 2.5G ETH (PoE) (for EAP660 HD) | ETH (PoE) (for EAP610 / EAP620 HD)
Plug one end of the provided power adapter to this port and the other end to a standard electrical wall outlet to power the EAP.
Power Port: 12V 2A (for EAP660 HD) | 12V 1A (for EAP610 / EAP620 HD)

The EAP supports two configuring options:
To configure and manage EAPs singly (usually suitable for a small network with a few
EAPs), Standalone Mode is recommended. Please refer to Option 1.
To configure and manage EAPs in batch, Controller Mode is recommended. Please refer to
Option 2.
The EAP can be powered via a power adapter or a PSE device (such as a PoE switch) which
complies with LPS or PS2 standard.
Option1: Standalone Mode
Option1: Via PoE Switch (Compliant with 802.3at)
Option2: Via Power Adapter
A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses to
the EAPs and clients in your local network.
