Hardware Description
Device Connections and Buttons
This table shows the device connections and buttons on the AP125.
Ethernet Network Interfaces
LAN2/PoE: Standard RJ45 connector that supports link speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps and PoE
connectivity.
LAN1: Standard RJ45 connector that supports link speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps. When managed by
Wi-Fi Cloud, you can configure this LAN interface as a wired extension for an SSID or for link
aggregation. For more information, see the WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud Help .
For APs managed locally by a Gateway Wireless Controller with Fireware v12.2.1 and higher, you
can bridge together the LAN ports on AP models that have two LAN interfaces. This enables you to
extend the wired network on the second LAN interface. For more information, see the Fireware Help .
Power Input (DCIN)
You can power the WatchGuard AP125 with 802.3af PoE on the LAN2 (PoE) interface.
You can also power the device with an optional AC power adapter.

WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. 11

Connect the AP
To power on and connect the AP125 to the network with PoE:
1. Connect one end of the network interface cable to the LAN2/PoE port on the AP125.
2. Connect the other end of the network interface cable to an Ethernet jack that provides PoE power.
To connect the AP125 to the network and to power on the AP with a power adapter:
1. Connect one end of the network interface cable to the LAN2/PoE port on the AP125.
2. Connect the other end of the network interface cable to an Ethernet network jack.
3. Plug the power adapter cable into the 12V DC power receptacle on the back of the AP125.
4. Plug the power adapter into an 100V-240V 50/60 Hz AC power source.
Connect the AP for Link Aggregation
With WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud, you can use both Ethernet ports of the AP125 for link aggregation that
enables these ports to logically merge into a single link for higher aggregate bandwidth.
You must enable link aggregation in a device template for the AP125, and link aggregation must also be
enabled on your network switch for the two ports connected to your AP. Both links should use CAT6
Ethernet cabling.
Make sure that PoE power is supplied to the indicated Ethernet port labeled LAN2 (PoE) on the AP125.
