1.2Unit Description

1.2.1Power Connector

The unit does not have a power switch. It is powered on when connected to a power source. The power adapter, ordered and shipped separately,

automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100~240 volts at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The unit draws up to 0.43 A at 48 V DC (20.9 W).

Warning!

The AC Power Adapter relies on the rated fuse or circuit breaker of the wall outlet (15 A in North America, 10 A in Europe).

Caution!

Use ONLY the Ericsson power adapter for the AP 6321. Use of any other power adapter can damage the unit and voids the Ericsson product warranty.

1.2.2Internet Port

Table 1 shows the power consumption for the Internet port.

AP 6321 Quick Install Guide

2 Installing the AP 6321

2.1Step 1—Select Location

Choose a proper place for the unit. In general, the best location is at the center of the intended wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. For optimum performance, consider these guidelines:

•Mount the unit as high as possible above any obstructions in the coverage area.

•Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other obstructions that can cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the coverage area.

•Mount away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as those containing metal).

The unit can be mounted on any horizontal surface, on a wall or from a hanging ceiling.

The unit is UL2043 Certified for Plenum mounting. Installers must use Plenum rated Ethernet cable for installations in the environmental air space of a building, such as above suspended ceilings. Installers must follow local and national codes for above ceiling installations.

Warning!

Do not install the unit in any areas where blasting (blasting caps, radio controlled equipment) or explosive gases can be present.

Warning!

The unit, its AC power adapter, and its cables are not designed for outdoor use. They must be located indoors.

Installing the AP 6321

2.2Step 2—Mount on a Flat Surface

Mount the unit only on a flat surface that is at least 1/2-inch (12.7-mm) plywood or the equivalent. To mount the unit on a ceiling or a wall, use one of the following options:

•To mount the unit on a wall or on a ceiling that does not have T-rails, use the pan head Phillips screws provided with the unit.

•To mount the unit on a ceiling that has T-rails, use either a T-rail mounting bracket or the pan head Phillips screws provided with the unit. T-rail mounting brackets are included in the Ceiling Tile Hanger Kit (BNCKG0158 or INE 105 3079), which can be ordered separately. The Ceiling Tile Hanger Kit includes five T-rail mounting brackets and five sets of four appliance feet.

To mount the unit using the mounting screws provided with the unit, do the following:

1.Attach the mounting screws to a ceiling or wall.

•Use the included Screw Hole Template as a guide.

•For concrete or brick walls, drill holes and use the included nylon wall plugs.

•For T-rail installations, drill 3/32-inch (2.4-mm) pilot holes.

•Leave a 5/16-inch (8-mm) gap so the unit can slide over the screw heads.

2.Attach the appliance feet provided with the unit to the unit.

3.Attach the unit to the mounting screws by doing the following:

a Line up the two mounting slots on the bottom of the unit with the two mounting screws.

b Slide the unit across into position so that the mounting screws support the unit.

c Adjust the screw depth as required so that there is a snug fit between the unit and the mounting screws.

To mount the unit using a T-rail mounting bracket, do the following:

1.Clip the T-rail mounting bracket to a T-rail.

2.Attach the correct appliance feet to the unit:

•For a suspended ceiling with recessed T-rails (this is a ceiling in which the tiles hang below the T-rails), attach the appliance feet provided with the unit.

AP 6321 Quick Install Guide

•For a suspended ceiling in which the tiles are flush with the T-rails, attach the appliance feet provided in the Ceiling Tile Hanger Kit.

3.Attach the unit to the mounting points on the mounting bracket by doing the following:

a Line up the two mounting slots on the bottom of the unit with the two mounting points on the mounting bracket.

b Slide the unit across into position so that the mounting points support the unit.

2.3Step 3—Connect and Power On

The AP 6321 can get its operating power directly from either of the following sources:

•An AC wall outlet

•The Internet port when connected to a device that provides IEEE 802.3at compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE)

If the AP 6321 is connected to both a PoE source device and an AC power source, AC is disabled.
