Perform the following steps to configure an RG-AP820-I:
Select the RG-AP820-I.
If the uplink switch supports PoE power, connect the PoE switch to the AP's uplink port to provide power for the AP.
If the uplink switch does not support PoE power, purchase Ruijie's PoE Power Injector RG-E-120(GE), with the Data In end of the interface connected to the switch and the Data & Power Out end connected to the AP uplink port to supply power to the AP.
If the uplink switch does not support PoE power, you can also purchase a DC power module from a third-party vendor to supply power to the AP through the DC power connector.
