4.3 CONNECTING POWER OVER ETHERNET
CAUTION: Using the wrong power solution (including a POE system used with a
legacy Motorola access point) could severely damage the Shock-WAV
Wi-Fi Signal Booster and void the product warranty.
WARNING!: Do not attempt to connect or disconnect any components while the
Motorola AP-5181 WAP or Shock-WAV Signal Booster are plugged into
power. Doing so may cause equipment damage and/or physical injury
and will void your warranty
For maximum flexibility the Shock-WAV Wi-Fi Signal
Booster can receive power via an Ethernet cable con-
nected to a POE (Power Over Ethernet) injector.
The Motorola Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-5181-
01R), in certain AP-5181 kits, is an integrated AC-DC con-
verter and 802.3af power injector which requires suitable
AC power to combine DC voltage with Ethernet data in a
single Ethernet cable, reducing the burden of installation
and allowing optimal WAP and Signal Booster placement
in respect to the intended radio coverage area.
Install the included weather proof RJ45 connector kit on
your Ethernet cable and attach the Ethernet cable ends.
(Consult the AP-5181 Access Point Deployment Guide for more
information about the weather proof connector kit).
