Figure 5.1: POE and DC Power Supply Connection Diagrams

5.1. POE Power Supply (Recommended)

For POE power supply, connect an Ethernet cable from a 48V POE switch or injector to the WAN port of the CF-WA933. This method simplifies installation by delivering both power and data over a single cable.

5.2. DC Power Supply

Alternatively, you can use a 12V DC power adapter (not included, but the port is available) connected to the DC power input port on the AP unit. In this setup, the network connection will still be made via the WAN or LAN ports using standard Ethernet cables.
