Chapter 1: Introduction
The Linksys Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit lets you put your access points
almost anywhere, by removing the requirement of nearby power outlets. By
using the existing Category 5 Ethernet cabling to deliver power to any standard
5 volt access point or other network device, you save the time, hassle, and
expense of running AC power to the access point's installation location.
The best position for a wireless access point is usually on the ceiling, in the
center of the area to be covered. Second best would be high on a nearby wall.
Unfortunately, there's usually no easily accessible AC power plugs available in
these locations. With the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit, installing the
access point in these preferred spots becomes far less trouble.
The Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit is a two piece set. The "Injector" sends
both power and data over one Category 5 cable to your access point, wireless
router or bridge. Then the tiny "Splitter", placed at the remote location, separates the network data and DC power back into two cables, and delivers them
to the access point. The Injector can also be used by itself with POE-enabled
network devices that accept 48 volts directly on a POE port.
When it's time to expand your wireless network, let the Linksys Power Over
Ethernet Adapter Kit simplify your installation.

Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit
With the Power Over Ethernet
Adapter’s Injector, you can
transmit both power and data to
any switch, access point, or networking device that has inline
power. Devices with inline
power can accept both a data
stream and power signal from
the same Ethernet cable, once
the Injector’s built-in Ethernet
cable is connected to an RJ-45
port and it’s power port is connected, via the power adapter, to
a power jack.
The Power Over Ethernet Adapter’s Splitter is used when you wish to supply
power over Ethernet to a device that doesn’t have inline power. These are typical devices that require power to be connected via the power port.
The Splitter takes the combined power and data stream from the Ethernet cable
connected to the Injector and splits this stream back into one data stream (in the
Ethernet cable) and one power stream, via the power cable, which are then connected to any switch, access point, or networking device that does not have
inline power

Chapter 3: Connecting the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit
The Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit is used to move your access point, wireless router or bridge to a remote location that is not close to a power outlet.
The diagram in Figure 3-1 shows how the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit is
connected to your wireless network. Once connected, the kit will transmit data
and power over the Ethernet cable.

To connect the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit:
1) Connect the kit’s power adapter to the Injector and plug the power adapter
into a surge protector or power socket.
2) Connect the Injector’s RJ-45 Cat 5 Ethernet cable to your network.
3) Now, connect the kit’s RJ-45 Cat 5 Ethernet cable to the Injector’s Power &
Data Out port. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Splitter’s
Power & Data In port.
4) Connect the Splitter’s RJ-45 Cat 5 Ethernet cable to your access point,
router, or other networking device.
5) Finally, connect the Splitter’s Power port to the Power Port on your access
point, router, or other network device.
Data should now transmit freely between the PC and networking device.
