Service Information

Introduction

When users purchase a Symbol WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in
obscure locations. In the past, a dedicated 24-hour, 90-264 VAC power source was required for
each access point in addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical
contractor to install power drops at each access point location. With the Symbol Power Injector
solution (pt # AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR), centralized power can be provided for devices without a
local power supply for each.

Product Description

The Symbol Power Injector (pt # AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR) is a single-port, 802.3af compliant Power
over Ethernet hub combining low-voltage DC with Ethernet data in a single cable connecting
to an AP. The Power Injector’s single DC and Ethernet data cable creates a modified Ethernet
cabling environment eliminating the need for separate Ethernet and power cables.

The Power Injector is a small lightweight unit with a RJ-45 Ethernet cord input connector from
the hub on the front right-hand side of the unit and a RJ-45 data and power output connector
to the AP on the front left-hand side of the unit. On the back of the unit is a 110-220 VAC power
input.

A separate Power Injector is required for each device comprising the network.
The Symbol Power Injector supports the following Symbol device product families (all models
of the those listed):

•AP 100

•AP 200

•AP 300

•AP-5131

Caution - Using the Power Injector with an unsupported Symbol device could
render the device inoperable and void your warranty.

The Power Injector has the following features:

•Independent power controller (SPEAR™), CPU controller and input (Data) and output
(Data + Power) shielded RJ-45 connectors

•Supports standard 10/100BaseT Ethernet networks over a standard TIA/EIA-568
Category 5 (or higher) cabling

•Meets the IEEE 802.3af standard

•Universal AC Input: 110/220 V, 60/50 Hz.

•Minimum port output continuous allowable power of 15.4W at 48V
(minimum 12.95W at the PDTE)

•Underload, overload, short-circuit & under/over voltage port protection.

•Port Status and Main power LED indicators

•Standalone or wall mount installation support

• Interconnection option with other Power Injector units.

Installation

Preparing for Site Installation

The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall
mounted using the power injector’s wall mounting key holes.

The following guidelines should be adhered to be fore cabling the Power Injector to the Ethernet
source and Symbol device:

•Verify the device receiving converged power and Ethernet from the Power Injector is a
product approved by Symbol (AP100, AP200, AP300 and AP-5131).

•Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector.

•Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.

•The Power Injector is not a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal. For
optimal performance, ensure the Power Injector is placed as close as possible to the
network data port. Do not configure the cable length between the Ethernet network
source, the Power Injector and the Symbol AP beyond 100 meters (333ft).

Cabling the Power Injector

To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and Symbol device:

Caution - Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC cable
with an appropriate ground connection approved for the country of operation.

1. Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (110VAC to 220VAC).

2. Connect RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power
Injector Data In connector.

3. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector

and the Symbol device receiving converged power and Ethernet.

Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and Symbol

device receiving converged power and Ethernet does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).

The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Power Injector receives power and is
ready for Symbol device connection and operation as soon as AC power is applied.

Multiple Power Injector Installations

Each Power Injector has a coupling rail designed to connect Power Injectors together to support
multiple device installations. Align the power injectors and slide the units together using the
coupling rail to connect the units. Cable each device as described in the Cabling the Power
Injector section of this document. Only one Symbol device (AP 100, AP 200, AP 300 or
AP-5131) can be powered from a single Power Injector.

Troubleshooting

The following potential Power Injector problem scenarios should be addressed as follows:

Power Injector does not power up properly

1. Verify the power cord power cord is operational for the intended country of operation

2. Verify the voltage at the power inlet is between 100 and 240 VAC.

3. Remove and reapply power to the Power Injector and verify the LED behavior during the
powering sequence.

A Power Injector port indicator is not illuminated and the Symbol AP does
not operate

1. The Power Injector did not detect the AP and thus the port is not enabled.

2. Ensure you are using a standard 5/5e/6, straight-wired cable with four pairs.

3. Verify the input Ethernet cable is connected to the Power Injector Data In port.

4. Verify the Symbol AP is connected to the Power Injector Data & Power port.

5. Reconnect the Symbol AP to a different Power Injector. If the AP receives power, there
is probably a faulty port or RJ-45 connection on the Power Injector.

6. Verify there is not a short over any of the twisted pair cables or over the RJ-45
connectors.

Symbol AP receives power but no Ethernet

1. Verify the Ethernet cable is connected to an active hub or switch port on the network.

2. Verify the port indicator on the front panel is continuously illuminated.

3. Verify you are using a standard UTP/FTP Category 5 straight (non-crossover) cabling
with all four pairs.

4. Ensure the Ethernet cable length is less than 100 meters from the Ethernet data source
to the Power Injector.

5. Reconnect the Symbol AP to a different Power Injector. If the AP receives power, there

is probably a faulty port or RJ-45 connection on the Power Injector.
