About the AP3935i and AP3935e

The AP3935 is designed to extend your Wireless LAN around indoor locations. The AP3935 supports the 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless standards, with full backward compatibility with legacy 802.11a, and 802.11b/g devices.

The AP3935 interoperates fully with Wireless LANs, including support for VoWLAN, branch office mode, guest services, RTLS, availability, and mobility features. The operating temperature: 0 50C.

The AP3935i and AP3935e have the following features in common:

•Both support two MIMO 4x4 (up to four 802.11ac spatial streams).

•They provide two single band radios for dual band, concurrent operation, optimized for indoor antenna coverage:

–5 GHz (Radio 1) in any of the following modes: IEEE802.11ac, a/b/g and/or n

–2.4 GHz (Radio 2) in any of the following modes: IEEE802.11ac, a/b/g and/or n

•They are enclosed in a rectangular, compact case.

•Both models can be mounted on walls and drop/suspended ceilings.

•They provide 80 MHz Bandwidth at 2.4/5 GHz operation (Channel Bonding).

•Power is provided through two Ethernet ports (LAN port). This is the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and wall installations. The AP3935 can also be powered by an external DC power supply by plugging the supply’s input jack into the DC In port.

ExtremeWireless™ AP3935 Installation Guide 1

NOTE

The AP3935 comes in two models: the AP3935i has 8 internal single-band antennas while the AP3935e has 8 external RSMA connectors for connecting external antennas. Within this document, any reference to AP3935 applies to both models.

AP3935 Overview

The AP3935 access point is available in two models:

•AP3935i contains eight internal single band antennas

•AP3935e contains eight external RSMA connectors for optional external antennas, for greater range and coverage versatility

Figure 1 1 on page 2 shows the top view of the AP3935i and Figure 1 2 on page 3 shows the top view of the AP3935e.

Figure 1 3 on page 3 shows the bottom view of the AP3935e. The bottom view shows the location of the LAN ports, console port, external power supply connector, and reset switch.The bottom panel is the same for both models, but there are no external antenna RSMA connectors on the AP3935i.

Figure 1 4 on page 4 illustrates the AP3935 LEDs.

Architectural Features

Console Port

The AP3935 i and e models both include a single RJ45 console port (shown in Figure 1 3 on page 3) 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 AP3935 has two 10/100/1000BaseT RJ45 LAN ports (see Figure 1 3 on page 3) 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 802.3at for full performance; (802.3af for low performance mode). Refer to “Installation” on page 7, 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 AP3935 provides a Reset Switch to reset or restore factory default configurations. Use a pointed object to press the switch button through the hole.(See Figure 1 3 on page 3). 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.

Kensington Lock Slot

There is a slot for a Kensington lock on the side of the AP (Figure 1 5). See the Kensington lock documentation for instructions on use of the lock.
