Selecting a Power Configuration
The power configurations available for the Access Point include local power, remote
power, and redundant power.
Local Power Configuration
In the local power configuration, the Access Point receives operating power directly from
one local source (such as a power module connected to a nearby wall outlet). The output
plug of the power module is connected directly into the Access Point chassis-mounted
power connector.
Remote Power Configuration
In the remote power configuration, the Access Point receives operating power over the
Ethernet cable from one remote source (such as a power module installed in the wiring
closet or other remote location). This option requires installing the remote power adapter
in the same location as the power module. The output of the power module is connected to
the remote power adapter. The Ethernet interface cable also plugs into the remote power
adapter. Another Ethernet cable is connected between the adapter and the Access Point to
provide input/output signals and power.
Enterasys offers an optional rack mount kit that allows installation of up to three remote
power adapters into one standard rack-mount panel.
Redundant Power Configuration
The Access Point can be connected to an independent source of local power and to an
independent source of remote power. If one of these power sources goes down, the Access
Point continues uninterrupted operation with power received from the other (redundant)
power source.
The Enterasys 5652041 North American AC Power Supply (for the
CSIWS-AA Access Point) has an internal 1-ampere non-replaceable
fuse. If the fuse blows due to remote power cable miswiring, the power
supply must be replaced.
If you are using the remote power adapter with the Enterasys North
American AC Power Supply, label the cable at the opposite end from
the power adapter (Access Point, MOD-TAP connector, or wall jack)
to ensure that this cable is not connected to another device. The
procedures in Chapter 3 offer sample text.
