How to disable POE negotiation on 9124AXI?

SondreSandberg — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 12:07:02 GMT

I've connected 9124AXI on a POE+ switch and the AP is complaining about that it wants UPOE, but POE+ is good enough.
The thing is that this causes the LED to flash between red and green because it's complaining about not enough power.

Planning on using this 9124AXI on a POE+ switch, so is there any way to configure the AP to not try to go for UPOE and be happy with POE+?

The AP is connected to a 9800 WLC running 17.3.4C

So it seems that the AP , is already happy. Is it functional and or can it be used in this 'configuration' despite the led warnings.

It can completely be used, it just uses 2x2 SS on 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz radio.
I'm considering just disabling the LED light.

Disable the USB port and get an extra 4.0wac back.

I suspect disabling LED will be your only option.
