1. Connect one end of a RJ45 Ethernet cable to the PoE In (LAN/Uplink) port on the rear of the Access Point.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to a PoE Ethernet switch or the PoE Out port on the PoE injector.
3. Using another RJ45 Ethernet cable, connect one end to the Ethernet port on the computer, and connect the other end
to another port on the PoE Ethernet switch or to the Data In port on the PoE injector.
4. Provide power to the PoE injector/switch.

Wall mount the Access Point
A) Determine where the Access Point will be placed; mark the location for the two base plate mounting holes on
the wall. Use the appropriate drill bit to drill a hole on each mark (1/3” or 8.1mm diameter; 1” or 26mm deep).
B) Screw the anchors into the holes until they are ush with the wall.
C) Screw the included screws into the anchors.
D) Slide the wall mount base into the slot of the Access Point.

The EWS375AP has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of above three
models.
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, the EWS375AP behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/
g/n networks. The stations and clients must be congured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identier) and security password
to associate with the EWS385AP.

AP Mesh Mode
Under the AP Mesh mode, the EWS375AP can be used as the central connection hub for station or clients that support
IEEE 802.11 b/g/n network. Under this mode, the EWS385AP can be congured with the same Mesh SSID and security
password in order to associate with other EWS385AP, as well as connect with clients under the same SSID and encryption
signatures. For example, you would use one band to connect Access Points in range with Mesh mode and the other band
to broadcast trac on the network.
