Security Features

These AP feature multiple options for physically securing the access point after installation:

1. Security hasp – The universal mounting bracket has a security hasp and can be used to secure the access point to the universal mounting bracket. Engaging

the security screw prevents accidental dislodging and theft.

2. Kensington lock – The access point contains a hard point that allows it to be secured to any nearby permanent structure using a standard Kensington lock.

Ethernet Ports

The CW9164 features one RJ45 port capable of operating at 100/1000/2.5 /5 BASE-T Ethernet (RJ45).

ETH0, PoE

The labeled “ETH0, PoE” accepts 802.3at and 802.3bt power. This port is typically used as the primary uplink to your LAN/WAN.

Warning: The AP will not power up with an 802.3af power source

Extending the LAN

In order to utilize the additional LAN port to extend connectivity, a Port Profile needs to be applied to the AP.

Power Source Options

These AP can be powered by a single M- ig 802.3bt capable UPoE port, allowing for full operation including providing up to 4.5W of power to the USB port. The

AP is capable of operating at its full capacity when powered by a single 802.3at power source, however, the USB port will be disabled. The AP will not power up

when powered by a single 802.3af power source.

The table below indicates the different modes of PoE power input and the expected operation of the AP
