Use front ethernet port on AP150w for PoE in instead of the back interface.

We have want to install the AP150w on the walls at one of our customers. We are not able to use the existing UTP sockets. So we want to install the mounting plate directly against the wall. The problem is that this access point can only be powered by PoE by the ETH interface on the back and not on the front. So installing the access point directly to the wall is hard. Can we change the config of the ethernet interfaces so we can power up the AP150W by PoE due an ethernet port on the front?

Unfortunately we can't change the port the AP uses for POE, to the front or any other port.

You can power the AP by using the Passthrough port on the front and using the included short cable to connect the Passthrough on the back to the in port.
