Powering On the Access Point

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. Be sure to turn on the PoE ++ source.

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

Note: If not using PoE++, ensure that you use only an AC power adaptor 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:

Install the C-460E AP with a UL-listed PoE power source suitable for operation at 40ºC and output that meets LPS requirements or PS2, with a 48V DC (0.5A minimum) rating. If you do not use PoE+, install the AP with an AC power adapter with a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2”, Listed Power Adapter, or DC power source marked “L.P.S.” (or “Limited Power Source”) and rated from 12 V DC, 2.5A 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 on the back 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 becomes ready. Refer to the LED status table.
