Lightning and ESD Protection

Before mounting the EAP, you should consider Lightning and ESD Protection to ensure safety.

Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. By using a shielded CAT5e (or above) cable for connection, you can reduce the damage of ESD attacks.

Hardware Installation

Mount the EAP

The EAP can be pole-mounted or wall-mounted. Follow the steps below for the appropriate installation.

Option 1: Pole Mounting

Step 1:

Lead the end of the pole mounting strap through the back of the EAP.

Step 2:

Position the EAP and wrap the pole mounting strap around the pole. Feed the end through the screw-block and tighten the strap until the EAP is secure.

Step 3:

Connect the antennas to the EAP. For optimal Wi-Fi performance, adjust the direction of the antennas. It is recommended to position the antennas at 45-degree angles.

Option 2: Wall Mounting

Connect Cables

Step 1:

Place the mounting bracket (for EAP) in the right position. Mark two positions for the screw holes .

Step 1:

Firmly grasp the rear of the interface

cover and pull it downward. Drill two 6mm holes for the screws at the marked positions.

Step 2:

Insert the plastic wall anchors into the 6mm holes. Align the bracket (for EAP) to the plastic wall anchors and drive the self-tapping screws into the anchors through the

Step 2:

Use an adequate Ethernet cable to

connect the LAN port. The length of

cable is up to 100m for steady

power supply. Shielded CAT5e (or

above) cable is recommended.

bracket (for EAP).

Step 3:

Align the mounting tabs on the back of the EAP with the slot of the mounting bracket (for EAP). Push and slide the EAP downward until it locks into place.

Step 4:

Connect the antennas to the EAP.

For optimal Wi-Fi performance, adjust the direction of the antennas. It is recommended to position the

antennas at 45-degree angles.

Step 3:

Attach the waterproof rubber insert to

the groove at the underside of the

device for waterproong. Move the

Ethernet cable to the hole of the

waterproof rubber insert.

Step 4:

Flatten the waterproof rubber insert

until it gets parallel to the device.

Replace the cover until it rmly locks

into place.

Power On

The EAP can be powered via the provided passive PoE adapter or a PSE device (such as a PoE switch).

Via Passive PoE Adapter

Connecting the PoE Adapter

Connect the EAP to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter as follows:

Ethernet cable length up to 100m

Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)

Note: To ensure the passive PoE adapter is attached most securely, it is recommended to install the adapter with the Ethernet port facing upward.

PoE LAN

Step 1:

Remove the mounting bracket from the passive PoE Adapter. Drill two holes on the wall and insert the plastic wall anchors into the the holes. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall. Make sure the shoulders at the corners of the mounting bracket are on the outside and pointing upward.

Step 2:

Attach the passive PoE adapter to the mounting bracket (for PoE Adapter) by sliding the adapter in the direction of the arrows until it locks into place.

Via PoE Switch (Only for EAP225-Outdoor)

Connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the ETHERNET port.

Software Conguration

A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.

The EAP supports two configuring options:

To configure and manage EAPs singly (usually suitable for a small network with a few EAPs), Standalone Mode is recommended. Please refer to Option 1.

To configure and manage EAPs in batch, Controller Mode is recommended. Please refer to Option 2.

Option1: Standalone Mode

Clients

Via Omada App

1. Download the TP-Link Omada app on your mobile device. It can be

downloaded from Apple Store or Google Play:

Scan for Omada App Download Omada App

2. Connect your mobile device to the EAP by using the default SSID (format: TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX) printed on the label at the bottom of the product.

3. Open the Omada app, and wait for the EAP to appear on the Standalone APs page. Tap on the EAP you want to congure.

The Omada app is designed to help you quickly configure the common settings. If you want to configure more settings, you can log in to the web page of your EAP or the controller.

Via a Web Browser

1. Connect wirelessly by using the default SSID (format: TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX) printed on the label at the

bottom of the product.

2. Launch a web browser and enter http://tplinkeap.net in the address bar. Use admin for both Username and Password to log in.

3. Set up a new Username and Password for secure management purpose. Modify the wireless parameters and reconnect your wireless devices to the new wireless network.

To configure other EAPs, connect your device to the EAP by the coresponding default SSID and repeat the steps listed above. You can configure some basic functions in Standalone Mode. If you want to configure advanced functions, please use Controller Mode.

Option2: Controller Mode

Controller Mode is applicable to configuration for mass EAPs. All EAPs can be centrally configured and monitored via an Omada Software Controller or an Omada Cloud Controller (e.g. OC200).

Via Software Controller

1. On the PC with Windows OS or Linux OS, download the Omada

Controller installation file from

https://www.tp-link.com/download/EAP-Controller.html.

2. Run the file and follow the wizard to install the Omada Controller.

3. Launch the Omada Controller and follow the step-by-step

instructions to complete the Quick Setup. After the wizard is finished, a login screen will appear.

4. Enter the username and password you created and click Log in. Then you can further configure the Omada Controller.

Omada Cloud Service

After installing Omada Controller, you can remotely configure the controller through cloud service when your management device can access the internet. Follow the steps below.

1. Enable Cloud Access on the setting page on the controller and bind a TP-Link ID to your controller. If you have congured this in the setup wizard, skip the step.

2. Launch a web browser and enter

https://omada.tplinkcloud.com in the address bar.

3. Enter your TP-Link ID and password to log in. A list of Omada Controller that has been bound with your TP-Link ID will appear. Then you can click Launch to further congure the controller.

Omada App

With Omada app, you can also manage your Omada Controller at a local site and remote site. Note that Omada software Controller needs to be kept running when using Omada app.

1. Download the TP-Link Omada app on your mobile device. It can be downloaded from Apple Store or Google Play:

Scan for Omada App Download Omada App

2. Launch your app and configure the controller at a local site or remote site.

Local Management

a. Connect your mobile device to the EAP by using the default

SSID (format: TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX) printed on the label at the bottom of the product.

b. Launch the app and go to Local Access, tap the + button

on the upper-right corner to add the Omada controller. Then you can further configure the controller.

Remote Management

a. Make sure Cloud Access is enabled on your controller and

your controller has been bound with a TP-Link ID.

b. Launch the app and log in with your TP-Link ID. Then go to

Cloud Access. A list of Omada Controller that has been bound with your TP-Link ID will appear. Then you can further configure the controller.

Via Cloud Controller

Omada Cloud Controller (e.g. OC200), which is pre-installed with the Omada Software Controller, is a good alternative for the Software Controller if you have no spare PC to keep running in the network. It needs to be purchased additionally. For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of Omada Cloud Controller.

Attention:

For EAP225-Outdoor, in EU member states and EFTA countries, the operation in the frequency range 5150MHz-5350MHz is only permitted indoors.

For EAP Controller, go to Access Point page and select the desired EAP to specify the channel. For web browser, go to Wireless > Wireless Settings to specify the channel.
