Plugging Devices into the WiFi Wall Socket

You may have a Space Connect WiFi-enabled wall socket installed in your space.

If this is the case, it's important to take care when connecting Power over Ethernet (PoE) and non-PoE devices into the appropriate ports.

Your WiFi wall plate will contain 2 sockets - one labelled as 'DATA' and the other 'PoE Out + DATA'. If connecting devices directly to the ports, please note: - Connect any non-PoE device (like a laptop or switch) ONLY to the port labeled 'DATA'. - Connect any PoE device (compatible with 802.3af/at) to the 'PoE Out + DATA' port. - DON'T CONNECT directly any passive-24V device to the 'PoE Out + DATA' port.

If the above is connected incorrectly, it may result in the WiFi module turning off. It may turn off the PoE for protection which will also cause the AP wireless to turn off - diminishing the quality of your wireless signal.
