POE can be supplied through a switch that is POE enabled or
through an one port power injector which can be added to a non POE
switch.=20
We use both at ACS.

Subject: Re: POE Access points
We just installed a Netgear WG302, which advertised itself as POE. But
when
it arrived, the literature (such as it was) had a caveat - which is,
provided your (cat5) cables are so equipped.
Ours obviously are not, because there was no power with just the cable.
So I don't know if this particular unit would serve you - we're very
small -
but I would suggest discovering more about POE abilities and
requirements.
