Let me start off by asking that you pardon my ignorance regarding power. The architecture surrounding the issue that I am facing is as follows...
We are placing an AP-175DC out on an island in the middle of a river for our Environmental faculty to stream live video via IP camera that will monitor the ecosystem. This camera is PoE capable, but the AP-175DC will have to take a 12-volt power supply. My question is, can a 12-volt power supply to an AP-175 support PoE? During my testing, it didn't; however, when I looked at the LEDs on the AP-175, they all appeared to be blinking Amber with the exception of the power LED. When I connected the camera to it's power cable, it worked just fine and all of the LEDs on the AP were still blinking amber.
Thoughts? And thanks for your time!
