2. Mount the AP
a. Mounting the AP on a Wall
At the installation location on the wall, use the wall/ceilingmount bracket to mark four holes for the wall plugs and
screws (included in wall-mount kit).
Drill four holes for the wall plugs, and then insert the plugs
and tap them flush with the wall surface.
Use the four screws to secure the bracket to the wall.
With its ports facing down, place the AP over the bracket
flanges and then slide it down until it snaps into its secured
position.
Do not let go of the AP until you confirm that it is secure.
c. Mounting the AP on a Pole (requires optional pole-mount kit)
Attach the pole-mount bracket to the back of the AP.
Use the included screw to secure the bracket to the AP.
Feed the two steel-band clamps through the pole-mount
bracket mounting points.
Fasten the steel-band clamps around the pole to secure the
AP to the pole.
3. Ground the AP
b. Mounting the AP on a Ceiling
Place the wall/ceiling-mount bracket over the mounting
flanges on the back of the AP, and then slide it up until it
snaps into its secured position.
Use the included screw to secure the bracket to the AP.
Press the retention clips of the wall/ceiling-mount bracket
against the ceiling T-bar.
Rotate the AP until the T-bar snaps into place.
Note:
different sizes of suspended ceiling T-bars. The position
The wall/ceiling-mount bracket supports two

Ensure the structure on which the unit is to be mounted is
properly grounded and in compliance with local and
national electrical codes.
Verify that there is a good electrical connection to a
grounding point (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
Use the included (M4) screw to attach a grounding wire (not
included) to the grounding point on the unit, and then to
ground.
Caution:
The earth connection must not be removed
unless all supply connections have been disconnected.

Quick Start Guide
Log in to the web interface
using the default settings:
◆
Login Name — root
◆
Password — admin123
Select the country of
operation for the AP. Setting
the correct country ensures
that the radios operate within
local regulations specified for
Wi-Fi networks.
4. Connect Cables
a. Using the AC/DC Power Adapter
Connect the cable from the AC/DC power adapter to the DC
power jack on the AP.
Connect the power adapter to a nearby AC power source
(100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz).
Connect Category 5e or better cable to the ETH1/PoE RJ-45
port.
Connect the other end of this cable to a LAN switch.
(Optional) Connect local LAN devices to the other RJ-45 port
on the AP using Category 5e or better cable.
This 1000BASE-T port is labeled ETH2.
During normal operation, the wireless LEDs should be on/
blinking green.
The ETH1/PoE port link/activity LED should be on/blinking
green.
When connected, the ETH2 port link/activity LEDs should
also be on/blinking green.
6. Connect to the Web User Interface
To access the web interface, connect a PC directly to the AP’s ETH2
RJ-45 port. In a web browser, enter the AP’s default management IP
address of 192.168.2.1 to access the web login page.
If you want to connect to the web interface using the ETH1/PoE
port, the IP address is automatically assigned through DHCP by
default. If a DHCP server is unreachable, the ETH1/PoE port reverts
to a fallback IP address of 192.168.1.20.
Note:
To reset the AP to factory default settings, press and
hold down the AP’s Reset button for 5 seconds.
b. Using a PoE Power Source
Connect Category 5e or better cable to the ETH1/PoE
RJ-45 port, and the other end of this cable to an 802.3af PoE
LAN switch.
(Optional) Connect local LAN devices to the other ETH2
RJ-45 port on the AP using Category 5e or better cable.
