Is My MR66 AP Using a Meraki PoE Injector or Only my PoE MS220 Meraki Switch ?

[ndccpf1]

I inherited an already installed (10/2015) Meraki one building network. I have been doing the physical walk around inventory as well as using the Meraki Dashboard. Using the dashboard menus, I see no reference to any type of power injector. The MR66 APs are mounted outside up on the building so I can do a visible "reverse" search backwards.

Online documentation for the MR66 AP says ==> The MR66 access point can be powered using either a third-party 802.3af PoE switch or the Meraki 802.3af PoE injector (sold separately).

Why does Meraki documentation not reference using a Meraki PoE switch like my MS220 ?

Did it come out before Meraki PoE switches existed?  The current install guide just mentions an af switch, not particularly a 3rd party one.

Most likely that model was available before Meraki had POE switches in their lineup. The datasheet I have found mentions "Power over Ethernet: 24 - 57 V (802.3af compatible)"

I show the MR66 Release Date 14-JUL-2014 and I think the MS220 PoE line was selling before that date.

But I figure I'm good but I guess a PoE injector is not visible to the Meraki Cloud Dashboard  even if I had them ?

@ndccpf1 Correct devices powered using POE injector will not show they are powered this way in the dashboard.
