Power Source

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

External 12V DC power supply (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).

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 AP to a wall. A ceiling mounting kit is also provided for mounting on a drop ceiling. These instructions are guidelines. For detailed information, see the Extreme

Networks IdentiFi Wireless WS-AP3805 Installation Guide

Mounting on a Drop Ceiling

1 Attach the T-rail connectors (see Figure 4, Item 2) to the

bottom cover of the AP using the provided short screws (see Figure 4, 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 4, 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 5,

Item 2) with an appropriately sized rail (see Figure 5, Item 1), and press the AP onto the rail until it snaps into place as shown in Figure 5.

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 5 illustrates the AP and bracket mounted on a T-bar rail.

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.

Mounting on a Wall or Solid Flat Ceiling

Figure 6 shows the AP3805 mounted to a wall or solid

ceiling.

Figure 6 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 6, Item 1) to match

the center of the two keyhole slots in the back of the AP bracket (see Figure 6, 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 6, Item 2) into the holes

until they are flush with the wall, and screw the provided mounting screws (see Figure 6 Item 5) into the anchors.

4 Screw the AP mounting screws (see Figure 6, 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.

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.
