Before mounting the EAP, you should consider Lightning and ESD
Protection to ensure safety.
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. To reduce
the damage of potential lightning and ESD attacks, connect the
grounding terminal to grounding facilities using a proper grounding wire,
which should meet the local installation requirements. You need to secure
the grounding wire to the grounding terminal with the screw.

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.
Option 2: Wall Mounting
Step 1:
Place the mounting bracket (for EAP) in
the right position. Mark two positions
for the screw holes .
Drill two 6 mm holes for the screws at
the marked positions.
Step 2:
Insert the plastic wall anchors into the
6 mm holes. Align the bracket (for EAP)
to the plastic wall anchors and drive the
self-tapping screws into the anchors
through the 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.

Power On
The EAP can be powered via the provided passive PoE adapter or a PSE
device (such as a PoE switch) which complies with LPS or PS2 standard.
Option 1: 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 100 m
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.
Option 2: Via PoE Switch
Connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the Ethernet port. The PoE
switch should comply with 802.3at.

Software Conguration
4
Choose from the following methods to set up your EAPs:
Method 1: Standalone Mode
To configure and manage EAPs separately (Convenient for a small network
with only a few devices)
Method 2: Controller Mode
To configure and manage EAPs in batches on a central platform, namely
Omada Controller.
Method 1: Standalone Mode
Internet
Router
Note:
Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according
to the topology figure.
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.

Via Omada App
1. Download the TP-Link Omada App on your mobile device. It can be
downloaded from App Store or Google Play:
or
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 congure.
The Omada App is designed to help you quickly configure the common
settings. If you want to configure advanced settings, use the web page of
your EAP or use Controller Mode.
Via 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, use Controller Mode.
Method 2: Controller Mode
Choose from the following two types of Omada Controller:
Type 1: Omada Software Controller
On a PC with Windows OS or Linux OS, download the Omada Software Controller
from https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/omada-software-controller/.
Then run the file and follow the wizard to install and launch the Omada Software
Controller. To manage your devices, Omada Software Controller needs to keep
running on your computer.

Type 2: Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300)
Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300) is a good alternative if you have no
spare PC to keep running Omada Software Controller in the network. It needs to be
purchased additionally.
For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of OC200/OC300.

Note:
Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the
topology figure.
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.
Omada Controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the router,
switch, and EAPs) in order to find, adopt, and manage them.
Via Omada App
1. Download the TP-Link Omada App on your mobile device. It can be downloaded from
App Store or Google Play:
or
Scan for Omada App Download Omada App
2. Launch your Omada 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 Omada App and go to Local Access, tap the + button on the upper-right
corner to add the controller. Then you can further congure the controller.
Remote Management
Note: Before you start, make sure that both your controller and mobile device can
access the internet.
For Omada Software Controller
a. Make sure that Cloud Access is enabled on your controller and your controller
has been bound with your TP-Link ID.
b. Launch Omada App and log in with your TP-Link ID. Then go to Cloud Access.
A list of controllers that have been bound with your TP-Link ID will appear. Then
you can further configure the controller.
For Omada Hardware Controller
a. Make sure that Cloud Access is enabled on your controller. By default, Cloud
Access is enabled. Make sure that the Cloud LED is flashing slowly.
b. Launch Omada App and log in with your TP-Link ID. Then go to Cloud Access.
Tap the + button on the upper-right to add your controller. Then you can further
configure the controller.
Via Web Browser
1. Open the Omada Controller’s web page.
For Omada Software Controller
Launch the Omada Software Controller on your PC. After the initiation process, the
controller automatically opens its web page. If not, click Launch a Browser to
Manage the Network.
For Omada Hardware Controller
As Omada Hardware Controller gets its IP address from the DHCP server of the
router, we don’t know its IP address explicitly. However, we can nd it out on the
router’s DHCP client list.
a. You need rst nd the IP address of the router. Open the command line on your
PC and enter ipconfig. In the result list, find the Default Gateway, which is also the
IP address of the router.
b. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the router. Log into the router’s
web page, and both the username and password are admin by default. Then go
to Network > LAN > DHCP Client List to find the IP address of your controller
according to its MAC address.
c. Enter the IP address of the your controller in the address bar to open its web page.
2. On the Omada Controller’s web page, follow the wizard to complete the quick setup.
3. After the quick setup, the login page appears. Enter the username and password you
have created and click Log in. Then you can further configure the controller.
4. (For Remote Management) You can remotely access and manage your controller via
Omada Cloud Service.
Note: Before you start, make sure that both your controller and your PC can access
the internet.
For Omada Software Controller
a. Make sure that Cloud Access is enabled on your controller and your controller
has been bound with your TP-Link ID. On the Omada Controller’s web page, go to
Settings > Cloud Access to enable Cloud Access and bind your TP-Link ID. If you
