Re: cAP ax as Wi-Fi externder / Ethernet bridge?

Thanks for a really useful reply! Note that after step 2. there is NO password rather than the default password (took me a while to figure that out). Successfully completed steps 1. through 5. taking the DCHP client option at step 5.. The cAP ax is then operating as an Ethernet bridge with both the ...

Re: cAP ax PoE-out to 802.3af Mode-A?

Thanks for the help. Setting poe-out=off and using a separate 15v power supply works fine.

My longer term solution will be to use DIN rail power supplies, a (smaller) 48v for the cAP ax and a 15v for the D1101V Door Station.

cAP ax PoE-out to 802.3af Mode-A?

I have a cAP ax being operated from the supplied 48v power supply. Also have a device that supports standard PoE 802.3af Mode-A, which requires only four wires of a network cable (it works fine with a TL-POE150S V3 Injector).

Is it possible to power this device from the cAP ax PoE-out port?

OpenVPN in RouterOS doesn't support "tls-auth" option.
