Overview of the WS-AP3805

The WS-AP3805 is designed to extend your IdentiFi
Wireless LAN around indoor locations. The WS-AP3805
supports the 802.11ac wireless standards, with full backward
compatibility with legacy 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and

802.11n devices. The WS-AP3805 interoperates fully with
other IdentiFi Wireless products and features including
support for VoWLAN, branch office mode, guest services,
RTLS, availability, and mobility features.

Note: The WS-AP3805 is available in both an “i” model
(with internal antennas) and an “e” model (with external
antennas). In this Quick Reference, any reference to
WS-AP3805

(optional)

Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port
(LAN port) on the top of the WS-AP3805. This is
the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling
and high wall installations.

The WS-AP3805 can also be powered by an
external DC power supply plugged into an AC
source. Plug the supply’s input jack into the DC-In
port (see Figure 1).

Installation Guide.

Mounting and Connecting the AP

Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform

installation procedures.

A wall mount bracket is included for quick and easy
mounting of the WS-AP3805 to a wall. Additionally, a
ceiling mounting kit is provided for mounting the AP to a
drop ceiling. Use these instructions as guidelines for
mounting and connecting the WS-AP3805 easily and
safely.

Mounting on a Drop Ceiling

Figure 3 and Figure 4 shows the T-rail connector being

mounted to the WS-AP3805.

Figure 3 Attaching the T-Rail Connector to the AP

1 Attach the T-rail connectors (see Figure 3, Item 2) to the

bottom cover of the AP using the provided short screws
(see Figure 3, Item 1). Two sizes of T-rail connectors are
included in the mounting hardware kit: 15/16 in (2.38 cm)
and 9/16 in (1.43 cm).

2 If extra space is required to accommodate drop ceiling

tiles, use the provided spacers and long screws (see

Figure 3, Items 1 and 3).

3 Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar

rails where you intend to mount the AP.

4 Line up the connected T-rail connectors (see Figure 4,

Item 2) with an appropriately sized rail (see Figure 4,
Item 1), and press the AP onto the rail until it snaps into
place as shown in Figure 4.

5 Verify that the Ethernet cable that will connect to the AP

can reach the AP at the point where you plan to mount it.

6 With both bracket tabs over the T-bar rail lips, tap the AP

to verify it is stable and won’t fall off. Figure 4 illustrates
the AP and bracket mounted on a T-bar rail.

Rail

Mounting on a Wall or Solid Flat Ceiling

Figure 5 shows the AP3805 mounted to a wall or solid

ceiling.

Figure 5 Mounting the WS-AP3805 to a Flat Wall or
Solid Ceiling

1 Determine the spot on the wall where the AP is to be

mounted, preferably high up on the wall (near the ceiling
for maximum radio wave dispersion) but in reach of the
Ethernet cable and a wall power outlet if you are not able
to use Power over Ethernet.

2 Drill two holes in the wall (see Figure 5, Item 1) to match

the center of the two keyhole slots in the back of the AP
bracket (see Figure 5, Item 3).

Note: When drilling the holes for the wall anchors, the hole
diameter should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the
wall anchors provided.

3 Screw the anchors (see Figure 5, Item 2) into the holes

until they are flush with the wall, and screw the provided
mounting screws (see Figure 5 Item 5) into the anchors.

4 Screw the AP mounting screws (see Figure 5, Item 4)

into the bottom of the AP.

5 Mount the AP on the mounting bracket by aligning the

mounting screw with the slots in the bracket and rotating
the unit clockwise about 90 degrees to secure it in place.

Connecting a Power Supply to the WS-AP3805

Electrical Hazard: Do not connect the WS-AP3805 to an
external power supply if the AP is plugged into the PoE
port.

If you need to power the WS-AP3805 with an external 12V
DC power supply, you can plug the power cord into the
power connector (see Figure 1, Item 6) on the back of the
AP. There is no wall mount for the 12V DC power supply.
Refer to the Extreme Networks IdentiFi Wireless WS-
AP3805 Installation Guide for information about the power
supply.

7 Make a hole through the ceiling panel closest to the

power slot on the AP. Run the Ethernet cable through the
hole and into an RJ45 LAN port in the recessed
connector bay.

8 Replace the displaced ceiling panels.

LAN Connection

The WS-AP3805 has one LAN (Ethernet) port (see Figure 1,
Item 7). During administration and maintenance through
the LAN, the AP must still have a power connection
through either an Ethernet PoE cable or a DC power supply.

Note: LAN connectors with shrouds will not fit into the AP
port. Remove the shroud or use an optional jumper cable.

External Antennas (WS-AP3805e Only)

Install the external antennas intended for area coverage.
For information about antenna selection and installation,
refer to the Extreme Networks IdentiFi Wireless WS-
AP3805 Installation Guide.
