4.4.3 Connecting to the Power Source
The XAP-1500 is PoE ready. Please ensure you ONLY use the PoE injector that is included
in the product box. To apply power, simply connect an Ethernet cable to the PoE injec-
tor (Power/Data port) and the opposite end of the Ethernet cable to the PoE port of
the AP. An Ethernet cable length of up to 100 meters can be used. DO NOT apply power
to the PoE injector yet.
NOTE: Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted pair
(CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP) cables should be used. For best results, it is
recommended that CAT6 shielded twisted pair be used to ensure stable
data transmission at highest data rates.
4.4.4 Connecting to the Internet Source
Note that this Luxul device is not a router and in most installations will be connected
to a Router or Switch in order to deliver Internet access. To do so, connect the PoE
injector to the desired Internet source using another Ethernet cable.
