Power Options Aironet 350 Series APs Power to Aironet 350 Series equipment is supplied through Category 5 cable to the Ethernet port (inline). There is no separate power socket on the 350 Series equipment. The option to supply power to the devices over the data cable infrastructure eliminates the need for local power and AC infrastructure costs. This is the fundamental difference between the 340 and 350 Series Aironet equipment. The Aironet 350 Series AP includes a 10/100−Mbps Ethernet uplink fo

Aironet 1200 Series, 1230 AG, and 1130 AG APs The nominal voltage for 1200 Series APs is 48 VDC, and the AP is operational up to 60 VDC. You can power the 1200 Series APs in one of these ways: • A switch with inline power or a power injector that supplies power to the AP (PoE option) • An external power supply that provides power to the AP power port Caution: Voltage that is higher than 60 VDC can damage the equipment. You cannot provide redundant power to 1130 AG and 1200 Series APs with both

In order to overcome this problem, issue the config ap power injector enable installed command on the controller that is connected with this AP. This command is available from controller version 3.2.116.21. Ensure that you use the correct version in the controller. This command specifies that a power injector is used in order to supply sufficient power to the AP. Aironet 1240 AG Series APs The Aironet 1240 AG Series AP ships with a 100− to 240−VAC power suppl

Cisco 2000 Series WLCs The Cisco 2000 Series WLC supports up to six lightweight APs, which makes it ideal for small− to medium−sized Enterprise facilities, such as branch offices. The PoE option is not supported on the 2000 Series WLC because the controller does not supply PoE. In order to use PoE to power APs, you must use a Cisco PoE injector or an external third−party PoE injector. The controller is powered by an external power supply that accepts power from an electrical outlet (100 to 240 V
