2.6 AP-7131 Power Injector System

An AP-7131 access point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the access point's
GE1/POE (LAN) port. When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place access points
in obscure locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in
addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power
drops at each access point location.
The AP-7131 Power Injector merges power and Ethernet into one cable, reducing the burden of
installation and allowing optimal access point placement in respect to the intended coverage area.
The Power Injector is included in certain AP-7131 product SKUs. The Power Injector
(Part No. AP-PSBIAS-1P3-AFR) is a high power POE Injector delivering up to 30 watts. The access
point can only use a Power Injector when connecting the unit to the access point's GE1/POE port.
CAUTION The access point supports any standards-based compliant power

A separate Power Injector is required for each AP-7131 comprising the network.
source (including non-Motorola power sources). However, using the
wrong solution (including a POE system used on a legacy Motorola
access point) could severely damage the AP-7131 and void the
product warranty.
