AP9100 Wireless Access Point
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The AP9100 is a proprietary access point designed to support Indyme’s wireless
help buttons and sensors. The wireless signals are relayed via the LAN to an
Indyme control unit for processing. The AP9100 is a Power over Ethernet (PoE)
device and works with any 802.3af and 802.3at compliant switch.
Programming Parameters
The AP9100 has been pre-programmed at the factory and labeled with
identification and network information. On-site programming is NOT required.
Clone Mode
Enables the Access Point to broadcast the Netcode to other Indyme wireless devices. All wireless
devices and access points must have the same Netcode to communicate.
With the AP9100 powered up:
Press and Hold the –VOL and +VOL buttons simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds
The RF LED will flash Red and Green indicating the AP is in Clone Mode
Follow the directions provided with your wireless device to obtain the Netcode information
When ready to exit Clone Mode momentarily press either –VOL or +VOL
The RF LED will return to a solid Green indicating that the AP is in standard operating mode
Installation
Generally floor plans will be provided for a specific installation with the optimal installation location(s)
marked.
Tools Needed
• Phillips screwdriver
• Wire cutters
• RJ45 Crimp Tool
• Cable, CAT5E RJ45/RJ45
Location Considerations
The AP9100 can be installed on the outer walls or in the ceiling as needed for the coverage required.
Plan the installation such that each AP has the clearest possible “line-of-sight” to the largest possible
expanse of the sales floor. Each AP will require PoE for network connectivity and power.

Rev. A
Indyme’s help buttons and sensors use a low powered transmitter, and operate best with a clear line of
sight to the nearest access point. Tall shelving, merchandise and metal signs can block or reduce the help
button signals.
Mounting
1. Remove the AP9100 from its packaging.
2. Identify the desired mounting location and determine the best mounting option:
Wall Mount:
3. For wall mounting use the keyholes on the backside of the AP9100 and space your screws 2.25” apart.
a. After mounting make sure antenna is unfolded and pointing straight up away from the AP9100
housing.
Ceiling Beam Mount:
4. For ceiling beam mounting use the included bracket to secure the AP9100 to the beam.
a. Wood Beam – secure the included bracket to the AP9100 and then secure the bracket to the wood
beam with appropriate screws.
b. Metal Beam – secure the included bracket to the AP9100 and then secure the bracket to the metal
beam with the included tie wraps.
c. After mounting, spin the antenna so that it is pointing down towards the floor.
Drop Ceiling Tiles:
5. For drop ceilings with tiles use the optional CB71 T-Rail Ceiling bracket (not included). Secure the CB71
bracket to the AP9100 and then secure the CB71 to the drop ceiling T-Rail.
a. After mounting, spin the antenna so that it is pointing down towards the floor.
Wiring Considerations
• The AP9100 is a PoE device and requires connection to the stores LAN/WAN in order to operate.
o Customer designated LAN/WAN PoE port
o Indyme provided PoE switch
o Single PoE injector with the LAN port connected to Net port on the control unit
• PoE wire runs cannot be over 300 feet.
• Locate the identified MDF or IDF that is closest to the desired installation location.
• Leave at least 15 feet of excess cable at the Access Point location in the event that the unit
needs to be relocated.
• Provide proper strain relief for the cable at the Access Point.
