Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary radio capabilities of the Fortinet FAP-221E? +
The FAP-221E is a high-performance indoor wireless access point featuring dual-radio technology that supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It utilizes 802.11ac Wave 2 standards and 2x2 MU-MIMO antenna technology, allowing for efficient simultaneous data transmission to multiple client devices, which significantly improves overall network throughput in high-density indoor environments.
Does the FAP-221E support Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality? +
Yes, the FAP-221E is designed to be powered via the integrated GE RJ45 port using 802.3af PoE, which simplifies deployment by allowing you to deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. Please note that a dedicated power adapter is not included in the standard package, so ensure your network switches support PoE standards.
What mounting options are provided for the FAP-221E in the box? +
To ensure flexible installation, every FAP-221E unit includes a mounting kit suitable for both ceiling and wall installations.
