Power the Access Point On

You can power the access point (AP) on by plugging one end of the Ethernet cable into the PoE++ switch or injector and the other end into the Ethernet/PoE++ port on the AP. Ensure the PoE ++ source you are using is turned on.

As an alternative to PoE++, you can insert a compatible power adapter plug into an AC power outlet and the other end into the power input port on the AP.

Note: If you are not using PoE++, ensure that you use only an AC power adapter supported by the AP.

Using the Access Point with Power Adapter

Use a compatible power adapter (Arista SKU: PWR-AP-W5) to power the AP.

Warning: The C-460 AP is intended to be supplied with a UL-listed PoE power source suitable for use at 45ºC. The power output should meet LPS requirements or PS2, with a rating of 48V DC (1A minimum). The current supplied by PoE++ should be 850mA. If you are not using PoE++, ensure that you use only an AC power adapter supported by the AP. The power adapter should be suitable for use at 45ºC. This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked as Class 2, Listed Power Adapter, or DC power source marked L.P.S. (or Limited Power Source) and rated from 12 V DC, 4A minimum.

The maximum altitude of operation for the power adapter is 5000m.

To power up the device with power adapter, perform the following steps:
  1. Plug the power cable into the DC power receptacle at the rear of the AP.
  2. Plug the other end of the power cable into an 110V~240V 50/60 Hz AC power source.
  3. Wait until the AP is ready. Refer to the LED status table.
