Ethernet Port: 2.5G ETH (PoE) (for EAP660 HD) | ETH (PoE) (for EAP620 HD)
The port is used to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data, or to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), such
as a PoE switch, for both data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) through Ethernet cable. The port
supports transmission speed of 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps for EAP660 HD and 10/100/1000 Mbps for EAP620 HD.
Power Port: 12V 2A (for EAP660 HD) | 12V 1A (for EAP620 HD)
Plug one end of the provided power adapter to this port and the other end to a standard electrical wall outlet to
power the EAP.

The EAP can be powered via a power adapter or a PSE device (such as a PoE switch).
Option1: Via PoE Switch (Compliant with 802.3at)
Option2: Controller Mode
Controller Mode applies to the large scale network with mass devices. All devices can be centrally
configured and monitored via Omada Software Controller, Omada Hardware Controller or Omada
Cloud-Based Controller.

Plug one end of the provided power adapter into the power port of the EAP and the other end to a
standard electrical wall outlet.
Software Conguration

A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses to
the EAPs and clients in your local network.
The EAP supports two configuring options:
To configure and manage EAPs singly (usually suitable for a small network with a few
EAPs), Standalone Mode is recommended. Please refer to Option 1.
To configure and manage EAPs in batch, Controller Mode is recommended. Please refer to
Option 2.
Option1: Standalone Mode
