Console Port

The WS-AP3825 i and e models both include a single RJ45 console port (shown in Figure 1 on page 8
and Figure 2 on page 9) for debug purposes. This port enables connection of a console device to the AP
through a serial cable. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal adapter
emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.

LAN Port

The WS-AP3825 has two 10/100/1000BaseT RJ45 LAN ports (see Figure 1 on page 8) that can be
attached directly to a 10/100/1000BaseT LAN segment. This segment must conform to the IEEE 802.3
or 802.3u specifications.

The APs appear as Ethernet nodes and perform a bridging function by moving packets from the wired
LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.

The LAN ports also support power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Refer to

Installation on page 14, for information on supplying power to the AP network port from a network

device, such as a switch, that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Reset Switch

The WS-AP3825 provides a Reset Switch to reset or restore factory default configurations. Use a pen tip
or a nail to press the switch button through the hole (located on the top side of the AP). If you hold
down the button for less than 5 seconds, the AP performs a software interrupt, causing it to drop all
connections and reset. If you hold the button down for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes
are removed, and the factory default configuration restores to the AP.

These procedures describe how to attach the WS-AP3825 to a drop ceiling (flat or protruded), and how
to mount the AP to a wall.

ExtremeWireless™ WS-AP3825i & WS-AP3825e Installation Guide for version . 14

Mounting the WS-AP3825 to a Drop Ceiling

To mount the AP to a drop ceiling, use one of the mounting brackets provided with the AP. There are
brackets for flat drop ceilings and protruded drop ceilings.

Flat Drop Ceiling Bracket

•

Flat drop ceilings are those in which the ceiling tiles rest flat (or nearly so) on their supporting T-bar
rails. The flat drop ceiling bracket has a low flat profile, to mount the AP close against the T-bar rail.

Installation

Protruded Drop Ceiling Bracket

•

Protruded drop ceilings are those in which the ceiling tiles protrude well beyond the T-bar rails on
which they rest. The protruded drop ceiling bracket has an extended mount plate, allowing the AP to
hang below the protruded ceiling tiles.

Note
We recommend that the first time you mount an AP3825 to a drop ceiling T-bar rail, you try
mounting the bracket to a rail before attaching it to the back of an AP and mounting the AP
to the rail. This way you can get the “feel” of the tilt and twist motion described in step 3 on
page 17 in the procedure below, to make the bracket tabs clear the rail and slide over the rail
lip on both sides.

To attach the WS-AP3825 to a drop ceiling:

ExtremeWireless™ WS-AP3825i & WS-AP3825e Installation Guide for version . 15

Installation

1 Attach the T-bar rail mount bracket to the back of the AP by placing the bracket against the AP

back, aligned as shown in Figure 5, with the bracket’s countersink screw holes matched up with the
screw holes on the AP. Screw the provided screws into the mounting bracket and AP as shown in

Figure 5.

Figure 5: Attaching a Mount Bracket to the AP back

2 Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rails where you intend to mount the AP.

Verify that the Ethernet cable that will connect to the AP can reach the AP at the point where you
plan to mount it.

ExtremeWireless™ WS-AP3825i & WS-AP3825e Installation Guide for version . 16

Installation

3 Hold the AP with the bracket against the flat side of the T-bar rail and (nearly) parallel to it. The

clamping tabs fit over the rail easily if you slide one bracket tab over the lip of the rail, at a very slight
angle to the rail, and then press the AP up against the rail (so that the opposite clamping tab clears
the rail) and twist it so that the opposite clamping tab slides over the opposite rail lip as shown in

Figure 6. There are flex tabs immediately opposite each bracket tab, that flex out (away from the

rail) to stabilize the bracket against the rail while you pivot the AP and bracket to clear the rail.

Figure 6: Mounting the Bracket to the Ceiling Rail

ExtremeWireless™ WS-AP3825i & WS-AP3825e Installation Guide for version . 17

Installation

4 When the bracket is aligned with the rail again, both clamping tabs are positioned on the T-bar rail

lips. Figure 7 shows a mounting bracket, with an AP attached, firmly mounted on a drop-ceiling T­bar rail. Tap the AP to verify it is stable and won't fall o.

Figure 7: AP and Mounting Bracket Seated on T-bar Rail

5 Make a hole through the ceiling panel closest to the connector bay on the AP. Then run the Ethernet

cable through the hole and into a LAN port (RJ45 Ethernet port) in the connector bay.

6 Replace the displaced ceiling panels.

Mounting the WS-AP3825 to a Wall or Solid Ceiling

Screws for attaching the AP to a wall or solid ceiling are supplied with the product. Use the following
procedure to mount the AP3825 to a flat wall.

1 Determine the spot 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.

ExtremeWireless™ WS-AP3825i & WS-AP3825e Installation Guide for version . 18

Installation

2 Drill two holes in the wall to match the center of the two keyhole slots in the back of the AP. The

location of the holes is depicted in Figure 8 (measurements are in millimeters). For a tight fit, the
holes should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the provided plastic anchors.

Figure 8: Drilling Template for Wall Mounting

3 Tap the plastic anchors into the holes with a hammer until they are flush with the wall, and screw the

provided mounting screws into the anchors, with the head protruding 1/16" from the anchor.

ExtremeWireless™ WS-AP3825i & WS-AP3825e Installation Guide for version . 19

Installation

4 Place the back of the AP against the wall with the protruding mounting screw heads fitting through

the keyhole slots on the back of the AP, and slide the AP down until the AP rests on the mounting
screw heads. Figure 9 shows an exploded view of this mounting method.

Figure 9: Mounting the WS-AP3825 to a Flat Wall or Solid Ceiling

5 Plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port (and plug the power cord into the power port, if

applicable) on the back of the AP.

WS-MBI-DCU01 Mounting Bracket for Drop Ceiling

The optional WS-MBI-DCU01 mounting bracket fits 9/16", 14MM, 15/16", 24MM, 1.5", and 38MM wide drop
ceiling rails. This bracket uses four M3 flat head screws to attach it to the AP3825.

the top piece to access the additional screw holes that are underneath the handle. The four screw
holes are indicated by the green arrows in the following figure:

Figure 11: Sliding Handle and Screw Holes

2 Move the ceiling tile away from the T-bar.
3 Raise the locking bracket handle slightly and open the space between clips so that the space is

wider than the T-bar.
4 Put the stationary side of the bracket hooks on the T-bar.
5 Putting your hand over the T-bar, grab the two vertical parts of the WS-MBI-DCU01 and squeeze

them together until all four clips are holding onto the T-bar securely and the locking tab engages.
6 Gently rock the AP to verify that it is stable and will not fall o of the T-bar.
7 Cut holes in the ceiling tile as needed, and then thread the cables through the ceiling tile if

necessary. Attach the cables and start the AP.
8 Put the ceiling tiles back in place.

LAN/Console Connections

Note
Lan/Console connectors with shrouds will not fit into the ports. An optional jumper cable may
be used or the shroud removed.

ExtremeWireless™ WS-AP3825i & WS-AP3825e Installation Guide for version . 24

The WS-AP3825 has both a LAN and a Console port. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 for the location of
these ports.

During administration and maintenance through the LAN or Console, the AP must have a power
connection through either an Ethernet PoE cable or a DC power supply.

Power Connections

The AP can be powered in one of the following ways:

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

•

Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN port) on the top of the AP. This is the

preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations.

Power by external power supply

•

Where a PoE-capable Ethernet connection is unavailable or impractical, an external 12V DC power

supply may be ordered separately to power the AP from a standard AC wall outlet.

Installation

Connecting an External DC Power Supply to the WS-AP3825

There are no wall mounts for the 12V DC power supplies. To connect a power supply to the AP for
everyday operation, mount the AP and plug the power supply in to the DC-IN port (callout 3 in Figure 1
on page 8 and Figure 2 on page 9). If you have taken the AP o its mount for configuration and
maintenance, you will still need to get power to it during the maintenance from a DC power supply or
PoE LAN connector.

Configuring AP Channel Settings

The WS-AP3825e must be installed by a professional installer. Before starting the installation, the
installer needs to determine/configure the following:

Determine the Antenna Model on page 25

•

Configuring Radio RF Port on page 26

•

Configuring Radio Channel on page 27

•

Configuring Radio Transmit (Tx) Power on page 29

•

Determine the Antenna Model

The professional installer needs to determine antenna models and the number of antenna ports for that
model. The number of ports can be determined from visual inspection of the antenna or from the
antenna model name as follows:

If the antenna model name contains a T or X (for example PRO-AO-xTxxxxx or AO-xXxxxxx), it is a

•

triple port antenna.

If the antenna model name contains a D (for example PRO-AO-xDxxxxx), it is a dual port antenna.

•

If the antenna model name contains an S (for example PRO-AO-xSxxxxx), it is a single port antenna.

•

•

antenna type and the third (non-active port) should be configured to None.
If attaching single port antennas, radio ports where antenna should be connected has to be set

•

to the antenna type and non-active port should be set to None.

6 Modify Radio Attenuation as follows:

Add any attenuation (dBm non-negative) due to cable loss or attenuator added to the line

•

between AP port and the antenna.
Same attenuator loss is assumed and is required for all three ports of the radio except when one

•

or more port is not connected to the antenna and is properly terminated as describe in next step.
Professional installer is responsible for accurately configuring port Attenuation. In no case, port

•

attenuation should be configured higher than actual attenuation between the AP port and the
antenna.
