Note: To power an 802.3af device to the LAN, you must use 802.3 at PoE+ input.

1 Network Topology

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 EAP225-Wall can only be powered by a PSE device, such as a PoE switch.

Connect the PoE switch to the ETH0 (PoE IN) port with an Ethernet cable.

2 Pre-Installation Checklist

Before installation, be sure that you have the following items:

1. A pre-installed wall junction box	3. A Phillips screwdriver
2. An RJ45 plug	4. A PoE switch

3 Installation Steps

EAP225-Wall can be mounted into an 86mm wall junction box, a standard EU wall junction box, or a standard US junction box. The junction box should be pre-installed with a running-in-wall Ethernet cable connected to a PoE switch.

86mm wall junction box

Standard EU wall junction box

Standard US wall junction box

Note: For simplicity, the 86mm wall junction box is used as an example below.

1. Detach the faceplate of the junction box with a Phillips screwdriver.

2.Insert the enclosed screws and tighten them with a philips screwdriver to secure the mounting bracket.

Note:

Do not over tighten the screws.

If the enclosed screws do not fit the junction box, use the screws attached to the

junction box instead.

When mounting the bracket to a standard US junction box, use the holes on the

top and bottom side.

3.Connect the Ethernet cable inside the junction box to an RJ45 plug.

Then connect the cable to the ETH0 (PoE IN) port. Position the Ethernet cable to ensure it is not strained.

4.Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by aligning the two mounting studs on the mounting bracket with the large openning of the slots on the EAP. Press and slide the EAP down until it locks into place.

Tip:

To remove the EAP from the mounting bracket, insert a metal stick into the hole next to the LED button to release the Locking Tab. Slide the EAP upwards and pull it out to detach it from the mounting bracket, as shown below.
