Supplying power to your APs

Method 1: Power the AP with a standard PoE power supply device
Tips:
The AP supports power supply through standard PoE devices. For details about power supply standards, see the sticker on the AP.

Method 2: Power the AP with a power adapter
The AP supports the power supply through the DC power jack (if available).
If the power adapter is not included in the package, please prepare it yourself. Power supply parameters can be viewed on the sticker of the AP. For the interface specification of the power adapter, see the Quick Installation Guide of the corresponding product.
i24 is used as an example in the following figure.
