Configuring Power for 1130AG Access Points
The 1130AG access point disables the radio interfaces when the unit senses that the power source to
which it is connected does not provide enough power. Depending on your power source, you might need
to enter the power source type in the access point configuration. Use the System Software: System
Configuration page on the web-browser interface to select a power option.

Using a Switch Capable of IEEE 802.3af Power Negotiation
If you use a switch to provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the 1130AG access point and the switch
supports the IEEE 802.3af power negotiation standard, select Power Negotiation on the System
Software: System Configuration page.

Operating 5-GHz Radio Requires Power Injector, Power Module, or Catalyst 3550-24 PWR Switch
The 1200 series power injector and the 1200 series power module support operation of the 5-GHz radio
in the access point. Currently, the Catalyst 3550-24 PWR switch supports power for both the 2.4-GHz
radio and the 5-GHz radio. Other switches and power patch panels might not provide enough power for
the 5-GHz radio.
