Installing the ExtremeWireless Outdoor
AP3965

Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform

installation procedures.

Overview of the AP3965

The AP3965 enables you to extend your Wireless LAN
beyond the boundaries of indoor locations. It is resistant to
harsh outdoor conditions and extreme temperatures
(Operating Temp. -40ºC~60ºC). Using the advanced
wireless distribution mesh feature of Wireless LAN, the
AP3965 can extend your Wireless LAN to outdoor locations
without Ethernet cabling. Mounting brackets are provided
for quick and easy mounting of the AP to walls and poles.

Note: The AP3965 is available in both an “i” model (with
internal antennas) and an “e” model (with external
antennas). In this Quick Reference, any reference to
AP3965

AP3965 models have the following features:

• Radios: 2 radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)

•LEDs: 5 (see Figure 1)

• Power: 802.3at (PoE+) compliant

• The AP3965 supports the 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless
standards, with full backward compatibility with legacy

802.11a, and 802.11b/g devices.The AP3965 with external
antenna connectors supports a variety of antennas.
(External antennas must be ordered separately.)

• The AP3965 interoperates fully with Wireless LAN,
including support for VoWLAN, branch office mode,
guest services, RTLS, availability and mobility features.

• Mounting brackets for a wall or pole mount.

Note: All radio and LAN ports are labeled on the AP3965.

For detailed installation information about the AP3965, see
the ExtremeWireless AP3965i/e Installation Guide.

Optional: You may also need antennas, terminators, or
cables. Refer to

www.extremenetworks.com/support for

product numbers.

Note: Before mounting the AP3965, read the “RF Safety
Distance” on page 2.

Mounting the AP3965

Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and
connecting the AP3965 easily and safely. The installation of
the AP3965 should be performed by a professional installer
to ensure proper operation and compliance with local
safety guidelines.

Attach the AP3965 to a surface that can support it and
withstand its environment. It can be mounted to a wall,
girder, ceiling, or pole, and the surface material can be
concrete, brick, wood, metal, or plastic.

Positioning the AP for Installation

Mount the AP so that the glands are on the side of the AP
closest to the ground, and not above the plastic cover. You
must provide a 3-inch drip loop on all cables.

Attach the Ground Wire

Use the M4 ground screw assembly, with the star washer, to
attach the ground wire’s ring terminal to the AP. The wire
should be as close to the AP bottom as possible. Tighten
the screw to a torque of 12.0 in-lbs.

Mounting the AP3965 to a Wall

1 Using the mounting bracket as a guide, mark the location

for the mounting screws. The wall bracket provides 8
attachment holes. Use 4 (1 in each corner), Place the
bracket and mark the 4 hole centers.

2 Drill four holes into the wall as follows:

– for installing the AP on a masonry wall, use a 5/16” diameter

bit.

– for other materials, use the appropriate drill for the screws

being used.

3 For masonry installations, drill at least 1/8” [3MM] past

the depth of the screw, or bolt, being used, and place
four anchor assemblies into the holes.

4 Attach the AP to the “H” Bracket:

Mounting the AP3965 to a Pole

1 Determine the diameter of the pole.

Pole Diameter Cable Clamp Size

<= 2.5” [63.5mm], Use small cable clamp.
6” - 7” (178mm) Use large cable clamp

For other pole diameters, provide your own stainless steel cable
clamp. The band must be ½” [12.7mm] wide,

2 Attach the AP to the “H” bracket on the side that does

not have the PEM stand-offs. Tighten the four screws to a
torque of 12.0 in-lbs.

3 Using four M4 screw assemblies, attach the pole bracket

onto the “H” bracket. Tighten the screws to 12 in-lbs.

Figure 3 Attaching Pole Mount to “H” Bracket

4 Attach the cable clamp to the pole bracket. Open the

cable clamp by turning a flat bladed screwdriver
counterclockwise. Then, insert the non-clamp end into
the pole bracket through the holes.

Note: It is easier to install both clamps before attaching to
the pole.

Installing External Antennas

1 Install the external antennas intended for area coverage.

For information about antenna selection and installation,
refer to the External Antenna Site Preparation and
Installation Guide.

2 Attach the external antenna cables to the Standard

Polarity Type-N connectors on the AP3965.

Connecting & Powering the AP3965

You can power up the AP3965 using Power over Ethernet
based on 802.3at (PoE+) compliant switch or PoE+ injector.

• The PoE injector must be 802.3at compliant. The PoE
injector is not provided with the AP.

Note: When the AP3965 is powered by the Power Injector,
the DATA port of the Injector should be connected to a non
PoE switch or, if the switch is PoE capable, PoE must be
DISABLED on the DATA port.

• A waterproof RJ45 connector is provided to connect the
PoE injector to the AP3965. You must connect the RJ45
connector to the RJ45 cable. For instructions, refer to
the ExtremeWireless Outdoor AP3965 Installation Guide.
