Overview
AP510i LED Status
LED Status
The AP510i LEDs are located on the front face of the AP but are not visibly marked.
You can power the AP through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN 1 (5GE) and LAN2 (GE) ports), see AP510i
back ports).
If you need to power the AP510i with an external 12V DC power supply, you can plug the power cord
into the power connector on the back of the AP. There is no wall mount bracket for the 12V DC power
supply. When the device is powered on, the power LED on the front face of the AP is lit.
Table 3: AP510i Powering Methods
Power SourceDescription
Power over Ethernet (PoE)Redundant power is provided through the RJ45
Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of AP510i. The ports are
compliant to be powered with 802.3af and provide full
functionality with 802.3at. This is the preferred method
of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall
installations.
External 12V DC power supply (optional; ordering part
#37219- PWR 12VDC, 3A, 2.5mm x 5.5mm connector)
The AP510i can also be powered by an external DC
power supply plugged into an AC source. Plug the
supply’s input jack into the 12V DC port.
Note
PoE is disabled when external power supply is used.
