1Introduction
An AP-6511 Series Access Point is an enterprise class 802.11n Access Point, installed in minutes anywhere a CAT-5
(or better) cable is located. The Access Point's mechanical design is optimized for installation over a standard CAT-5
(or better) wall jack. The AP does not protrude into the wall cavity, allowing for an efficient heat transfer and a
universal installation over a standard Telco wiring plate. The Access Point's modular design allows the end-user to
add switched Ethernet ports as-needed, and attach a standard keystone or Leviton QuickPort® modular connector
to the wall plate.
The Access Point ships with a single dual-band radio supporting the 802.11a/b/g/n radio bands.
The Access Point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable. There is
no additional power supply required. An 802.3af PoE Ethernet switch or mid span power injector is required.
The Access Point can be ordered for US deployment (AP-6511-60010-US or AP-6511E-60010-US), deployment in
Europe (AP-6511-60010-EU or AP-6511E-60010-EU) or deployment outside of the US or Europe
(AP-6511-60010-WR or AP-6511E-60010-WR).

2Hardware Installation
2.1 Installation Instructions
An AP-6511 Series Access Point mounts either on a wall, under a table or over a Telco Box. An AP-6511 Series
Access Point is not plenum rated.
NOTEThe provided metal mounting plate is fastened to an existing standard
Telco in-wall box. The box is customer provided within the customer
building structure, and can be either plastic or metal in composition.
Screws and other mounting hardware are not include.
An AP-6511 Series Access Point is mounted to a wall or Telco Box so the mounting plate is flush with the mounting
surface.
An AP-6511 Series Access Point snaps on to the mounting plate without the use of tools or fastening hardware.
Removal of the Access Point from the mounting plate can be accomplished without the use of a tool. A mounting
lock screw is provided to help ensure a tamper resistant installation.
NOTEOnce installed onto the mounting plate, the assembly can resist a
minimum of 10 lbs of force before unit breakage or accidental
disassembly.
To prepare for the installation, perform the following:
1.Verify the contents of the box includes the intended Access Point model and accessory hardware.
2.Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the
Access Point.
3.Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a PoE compatible device and run the cable to the installation
site. Ensure there is sufficient cable slack to perform the installation steps.

Installation Guide9
2.2 Precautions
Before installing an AP-6511 Series Access Point:
•Verify the intended deployment location is not prone to moisture or dust.
•Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.
2.3 Access Point Placement
For optimal performance, install the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights,
microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls
or floors block transmission. Install the Access Point in an open area or add Access Points as needed to improve
coverage.
To maximize the Access Point’s radio coverage area, Conduct a site survey to define and document radio
interference obstacles before installing the Access Point.
2.4 Power Injector System
When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place Access Points in obscure locations. In the past, a
dedicated power source was required for each Access Point in addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often
required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each Access Point location. The Power Injector merges
power and Ethernet into one cable, reducing the burden of installation and allowing optimal Access Point
placement in respect to the intended coverage area.
A Power Injector (AP-PSBIAS-2P2-AFR) is recommended as the 802.3af compatible power supply for the AP-6511
Series Access Point. The Power Injector is capable of providing 12.95 Watts up to 100 meters. The Power Injector
is separately ordered and not shipped with the AP-6511 Series Access Point. A separate Power Injector is required
for each Access Point comprising the network.
The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Injector receives power and is ready for device connection and
operation as soon as AC power is applied. Refer to the Installation Guide shipped with the Power Injector for a
description of the device’s LEDs.The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or
wall mounted using the Power Injector’s wall mounting key holes.
The following guidelines should be adhered to before cabling the Power Injector to an Ethernet source and an
Access Point:
•Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector.
•Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.
•The Power Injector isn’t a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet signal. For optimal performance,
ensure the Power Injector is placed as close as possible to the Ethernet switch. This will allow an
AP-6511 Series Access Point to be deployed away from power drops.
Page 10
10AP-6511E Series Access Point
!
!
•Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and Access Point does not
exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
CAUTIONTo avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable POE from a
wired controller port connected to an Access Point if mid-span power
sourcing equipment (PSE) is used between the two, regardless of the
manufacturer.
CAUTIONEnsure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC cable
with an appropriate ground connection approved for the country of
operation.
2.5 Wall Mount Installation
Ceiling mount requires holding the Access Point up against a T-bar of a suspended ceiling grid and twisting the case
onto the T-bar.

Server Name and Default Gateway are optional settings. PPP is a data-link protocol for dialup
connections allowing an Access Point to use a broadband modem (DSL, cable modem, etc.) for
access to high-speed data and broadband networks. Most DSL providers support (or deploy) the
PPPoE protocol. PPPoE uses standard encryption, authentication, and compression as specified by
the PPPoE protocol. PPPoE enables the Access Point to establish a point-to-point connection to an
ISP over an existing Ethernet interface.
•Static IP / Mask - Specify an IP address for the WAN connection if using static address assignment
for the WAN port. An IP address uses a series of four numbers expressed in dot notation, for
example, 190.188.12.1. Additionally, specify a Mask for the access point’s WAN connection. This
number is available from the ISP for a DSL or cable-modem connection, or from an administrator if
the Access Point connects to a larger network.
•Primary/Secondary DNS/Default Gateway - If using a static IP or DHCP, enter the Primary and
Secondary DNS server resource’s numerical IP address and Default Gateway.
