If the term "access point" means the base station in a WiFi network or wireless LAN, it depends on its design as to whether it needs to receive any power from an adjacent electrical service outlet or not.

If it requires power from an electrical service socket outlet then power must be supplied to it either:

  • by using a long enough "plug-in power extension cable with socket outlet"

    or

  • by installing a hard-wired permanent outlet into the wall of the room that may be connected either to a suitable existing branch circuit or, as a new branch circuit from the main breaker panel in the building, by installing a separate circuit breaker and cable having the correct ampacity.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How is your house wired?

1Plan to run all of your electrical wires from a central location in your basement. Set aside an open area where you can set up electrical panels if needed. Keep your central location near other electrical furnishings, like the fuse box.2Install conduit before you run any type of wire through your home. This tubing protects the wires in your home and also helps keep them organized and in place. You'll probably want to use a larger diameter conduit for your central vein of wiring, and then branch off with smaller sizes for individual rooms.3Set up at least one electrical outlet and one phone jack in each room. In most rooms, you'll want one electrical outlet on each wall. It's difficult and expensive to cut into drywall and install more outlets later, so you can overestimate how many you'll need.4Put some extra conduit into the ceilings and walls in each room. This preparation will make it much easier to install a multi-room audio system or additional wiring for Internet access later. Tying string off at each of the conduits makes it very easy to pull a new wire through the tubing.5Color-code your conduit and wiring so that you can keep track of what you've installed. An extensive map of your wiring can make fixing subsequent problems much easier than if you didn't know which wires were connected to which rooms.


Why are mechanical and electrical interlocks used in certain motor control circuits?

Interlocking systems are used mainly where definite operating and sequential procedures are to be followed. Applications are generally where the safety of a person working on equipment is in danger by someone inadvertently turning on the equipment and thereby inflicting injury. Another application for interlocking systems is for access control. A simple, robust system, requiring no power, can be installed disallowing access by unauthorised persons into various areas of buildings, factories, plants etcetera. The limitations of interlocks are boundless and applications for safety or other reasons exist in all areas of industry.

Where is the fuel filter on a lawnmower?

The location of the fuel filter depends on where the carburetor is mounted. If the carburetor is mounted directly atop the fuel tank, the filter is located within the tank at the end of the hose that attaches to the carburetor. The carburetor has to be removed to access the fuel filter. If the carburetor is not mounted to the fuel tank and the fuel is "gravity-fed" to the carburetor, the filter is usually an in-line filter located somewhere on the fuel line between the tank and the carburetor.

Difference between physical access and logical access between CPU and peripherals?

A logical access assumes that the location to be read or written is contained within a linear address space, while a physical access describes the actual access to the appropriate sector, the location within the assumed linear address space must be converted into the corresponding platter, sector, and track, and the disk hardware must be instructed to access that specific location.
