This access point is designed to be installed indoors with several mounting position options. When mounting this access point, keep the following in mind:

• 802.3at PoE input or optionally a 48v DC 0.625A input jack.
• The AP840 WiFi-6 Access Point cannot be powered by passive PoE.
• Place the access point at the center of the room, away from metallic surfaces.
• The signal primarily radiates to the front and sides of the access
• point. There is limited signal coverage directly behind it.
• Do not place heavy objects on the access point.
• Install the access point in an area free from strong electromagnetic sources.
• Check the Ethernet cables to ensure they are fully secured to both the access point and the PoE injector or switch.
• Do not install the access point in plenum spaces. Use the ceiling mount instead.
• The 2.5G ethernet port is PoE input only. Ports do not include PoE passthrough and are not able to supply PoE to other devices.
• Passive 24V PoE is not supported on this device. Do not plug 24V PoE into the access point. Damage can result.
• Le PoE passif 24V n’est pas pris en charge sur cet appareil. Ne branchez pas sur le systéme. Des dommages peuvent en résulter.
