How to install Engenius EPA5090XBT

• Step 1: Plan your deployment by identifying a PoE-enabled device that requires up to 90W of power and a suitable location for the EPA5090XBT with access to a power outlet and network cable path.
• Step 2: Connect the EPA5090XBT to a power source using a compliant AC power cord. Ensure the power source matches the universal input specification (100–240V, 50/60Hz).
• Step 3: Run a single Ethernet cable from the EPA5090XBT to the target device on the network. If your device supports 10Gbps, use a Cat6a/7 cable to maximize the data rate and minimize interference.
• Step 4: Power on the EPA5090XBT and verify that the LED indicators (power and link/status) show proper operation. Confirm that the connected device negotiates PoE correctly and begins receiving both power and data as intended.
• Step 5: Configure the connected device as needed (for example, IP addressing, wireless controller settings, or camera configuration). In most cases, plug-and-play operation is supported, with the device drawing power and establishing connectivity automatically once powered and connected.
