Ethernet Power Injector (Optional)
You can power the AP with an optional Ethernet Power Injector. The PoE+ power injector enables you to
power the AP through an existing Ethernet connection. With this device, you do not have to position your
AP near a power outlet.
This device complies with IEEE 802.3at/af PoE specifications. Do not use any PoE
adapters that are not IEEE 802.3at/af compliant as they may damage your device.
To connect an Ethernet Power Injector to the WatchGuard AP:
1. Plug the Ethernet Power Injector into an AC power source.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your network backbone (for example, a PoE-capable router, switch, or
hub) to the LAN connector on the Ethernet Power Injector.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN1 PoE Ethernet interface on the AP to the PoE connector on
the Ethernet Power Injector.
The table provides the specifications for the power adapter.
