I have a 1702I and need to deploy them in remote parts of the building, without running more cable. I have a POE access port facing the AP, but I'm trying to steal a PCs cable and just plug the PC into the aux port but I can't get an IP when I do that.
I've read stuff online, but can't figure out what I'm missing. Is it absolutely necessary to use a trunk port? Am I missing something as far as enabling the aux port?
Thanks for any help!
