Readabout and view specifications and compliance information forthe AP410C in this topic. Install th e AP410C using this topic.
The AP410C isa high-performance 802.11ax dual-5G. dual band access point designedfor indoorhigh-density environments. This device supports
IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user access.
For regulatory andcompliance information, see "Regulatory Compliance Statements".
Important! Change the Country Code
Ifyour access point is configuredfor the WorldRegulatory Domain, it is important to set the country code to the country in which the APwill be
deployedto meet regulatory requirements and for optimalwireless operation. To do this, follow these steps:
The country code selection is for World models only and is not available t o FCC, CAN, and other country-specific models. Per FCC regulations, all Wi-Fiproducts marketed in the United States must be set to U.S. channels only.
1. Power on the APand allow it to find and connect to ExtremeCloudIQ. Once the APisconnected it appears in the tableof devices on the
Manage >Devices page.
2.
Select the check box next to the AP, and then choose Assign Country Code from the Actions drop-down list. In the dialog box, select the
appropriate country from the drop-down list, and then click Save.
3. Uploadyour changes to the device.

The following tablelists the safety precautions youshouldfollow when installing yourAP410C devices.
Extreme Networks devices must beinstalled bya professionalinstallerwho iscertified to install these types of devices
and to ensure that they are properly grounded and meet applicable local andnational electricalcodes.
These devicesare intended for indooruse only.
Do not install the devicein an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed the recommended ranges.
Warning: This isa ClassA product. In adomestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case
the user may be requiredto takeadequate measures.
For products availablein the USA/Canada market, for the 2.4 GHz band, only channels 1-11 can be operated. Selection of other channels isnot possible.
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance couldvoid the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Use only attachments andaccessories specified by Extreme Networks.
These devicesare not intendedfor use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,sensory, or mental capabilities, orwith lack of experience ofknowledge unless they are given supervision orinstruction concerning use ofthe
devices by a person who isresponsiblefor their safety. Children shouldbe supervisedto ensure that they do not play
with the devices.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)can damage equipment andimpairelectricalcircuitry. ESDdamageoccurs when electronic components are improperlyhandled and can result in complete orintermittent failures. Besureto follow ESD-prevention procedureswhen handling electronic components and equipment.
During operation, the surfaces of the AP410C can become hot. Use caution when handling.
To meet federalradiation exposure requirements, these devicesshould be installedat aminimum distance of8" (20 cm)
frompeople oranimals.
Install the AP
Youcan mount the AP410C on aflat surfaceor wall, oron the rails of astandard droppedceiling grid. There is also an accessorymounting bracket
that allows youto installthe devicein Armstrong-style droppedceilings (ordered separately).
The following sections describe how to install yourAP410C devices.

Install the APon a Ceiling Track
The AP410C shipswith a mounting bracket that lets youeasily installit on the rail of astandarddroppedceiling grid. The following illustration
shows how to attach the bracket to the ceiling rail, and then install the APon the bracket.
Once the bracket is secure, installthe APusing the following steps:

1. Align the red dot on the bottom of the APwith the reddot on the bracket.
2. Lift the APstraight upand keep the reddots aligned until the bracket is seated in the rounddepression on the bottom ofthe device.
3. Rotate the APclockwise until it clicks into place on the bracket.
Mounting brackets are availablefor these devicesthat willallow youto install them on non-standardceiling tracks. The following accessory brack-

Mount the APon a Wall
Use the holes in the bracket as atemplate to mark the wall. Drill holes in the wall and attach the bracket to the wallusing wall screws and wall
anchors ifnecessary. Attach the APto the bracket in the same manner as shown in the previous section.
Lock the AP
Youcan secure the APusing a Kensington®lock in the lockslot on the device, or youcan usea security bracket and acrosshead screw or a security screw. Security brackets and screws can beorderedseparately from Extreme Networks (not availablein Brazil).
Extreme Networks recommends a variety of Kensington locks.For more information, contact your sales representative.
Hardware Components
Youcan see the hardware components ofthe AP410C in the illustration belowand read about them in the sections that follow.
Component Descriptions
Status Light
The statuslight conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet andwireless interface activity, and major alarms. The
AP410C has two status lights on the top of the chassis. At setup,this light cycles through the followingsequence:
l
Solid White: The poweris on andthe device isoperational..
l Solid Amber: The device is on andis booting..
l Blinking Amber: The deviceis performing a firmware upgrade.
l
Dark: The power is off.
Light Sensor LED
The AP410C also has a light sensor on the top of the device.
Ethernet Ports
Two RJ45 Ethernet ports (Eth0 and Eth1) automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex connections with the connecting device.Eth0 is
100/1000/2500 BASE-T, and Eth1 is 10/100/1000 BASE-T. These ports are autosensing and adjust to straight-through andcrossover standardCat5
or better Ethernet cables automatically. The APreceivespower through an Ethernet connection to the ETH1 port from PSE (powersourcing
equipment) that is compatible with the 802.3at and 802.3at standards.
Micro USB Console Port
Use the Console port to make aserialconnection between your management system and the AP.When you connect to the device using the
Console port, the management station from which youconnect to the device must have a VT100 emulation program, such asTera Term Pro© (a
free terminal emulator) orHilgraeve HyperTerminal® (provided with Windows®operating systems from XP forward).
The serial connection settings are: 9600 bits persecond, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Reset Button
Use the Reset button to reset the deviceor restore the factory default settings. Insert a paper clip orsimilartool into the Reset pinhole and press
the button. To reboot the device, press the button for5 seconds. To return the configuration to the factory default settings, press it forat least 10

seconds. After releasing the button, the indicator light goes dark, and then glows steady amber while the firmware loads andthe system performsa self-test. Afterthe software finishes loading andthe APhas connected to ExtremeCloudIQ, the status indicatorglows steady white.
To prevent the reset button from resetting the configuration, enter this command:
no reset-button reset-config-enable
When this command is enabled, pressing the button for 5 seconds willstill reboot the AP, but pressing it for more than 10 seconds will not reset its
configuration.
Security Slot
The AP410C hasa security slot forlocking the device.
Extreme Networks recommends a variety of Kensington®locks. For more information, contact your sales representative.
