Hardware Overview
Back Panel
PoE In + Data
10/100/1000 Ethernet port supports data and 802.3at PoE+ input. The UAP-AC-IW itself requires 7W.
802.3at PoE+ input is required to use PoE passthrough. Connect this port to an UniFi Switch with PoE that is connected to your LAN and DHCP server.
Bottom Panel
Security Screw
(Optional) The Security Screw secures the Cover Plate after installation. You have the option to use the included Ton( (shown) or Phillips Security Screw.
PoE Out + Data
10/100/1000 Ethernet port supports data and PoE passthrough (requires 802.3at PoE+ input). The maximum PoE passthrough output is 12W.
Note: To power and connect an 802.3af device to the LAN, you must use 802.3at PoE+ input.
Reset
The Reset button serves two functions for the UAP-AC-IW:
- Restart Press and release the Reset button quickly.
