The PowerBASE-T allows you to power the AP using the Ethernet cable. If you are forced to mount the AP in an area where access to an electrical outlet is limited, the PowerBASE-T can be used to power the AP.
The PowerBASE-T can be located at any point between the AP and the hub or switch, where a convenient AC outlet exists. To connect the PowerBASE-T, use the following procedure.
When the PowerBASE-T module receives power, the green LED on top lights up.
When it receives power over the Ethernet cable, the access point will start its boot sequence and its LED will light up.
