is recommended for Gigabit operation.
2.2 Precautions
Before installing an AP-8122 model Access Point, verify the following:
•Your are using the correctly rated power solution for the AP-8122 (either the AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR power
injector or the PWRS-14000-247R external power supply)
•Do not to install the AP-8122 in wet or dusty areas.
•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.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An
area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even
placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
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
An AP-8122 model Access Point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/POE (LAN) port.
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.
CAUTIONUsing a non-compliant injector, or an injector supporting legacy modes
will not allow the AP-8122 to function at optimum performance levels.
CAUTIONDo not plug in the AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR Power Injector into the Access
Point’s Console port. Connecting the Power Injector into the console
port can damage the port and void the AP-8122’s product warranty.
The AP-8122’s supported Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR) is a high power POE Injector delivering up
to 30 watts. The Access Point can only use a Power Injector when connecting the unit to the Access Point’s GE1/POE
port. The Power Injector is separately ordered and not shipped with an existing AP SKU.
The Access Point Power Supply (Part No. PWRS-14000-247R) is not included with the Access Point and is orderable
separately as an accessory. If the Access Point is provided both POE power and PWRS-14000-247R power
concurrently, the Access Point will source power from the PWRS-14000-247R supply only. Disconnecting AC power
from the PWRS-14000-247R, causes the Access Point to re-boot before sourcing power from the POE power
injector. If the AP is operating using injector supplied power, the AP will not automatically reboot if an AC adapter
is connected. The Access Point continues to operate with power supplied from the AC adapter without change to
the Access Point operating configuration. If using AC adapter supplied power and a change to the AP’s operating
configuration is warranted, the Access Point needs to be manually rebooted by the customer.
Installation Guide9
!
CAUTIONThe Access Point supports any standards-based compliant power
source. However, using the wrong solution (including a POE system
used on a legacy Access Point) could either limit functionality or
severely damage the Access Point and void the product warranty.
A separate Power Injector is required for each AP-8122 Access Point comprising the network.
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 data port.
10AP-8122 Access Point
!
!
CAUTIONTo avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable POE from a
wired switch port connected to an Access Point if mid-span power
sourcing equipment (PSE) is used between the two, regardless of the
manufacturer of the switch.
To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and an Access Point:
CAUTIONEnsure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC cable
with an appropriate ground connection approved for the country of
operation.
1.Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (110VAC to 220VAC).
2.Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Injector Data In
connector.
3.Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the
Access Point’s GE1/POE port.
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and Access Point does not
exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
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.

3Basic Access Point Configuration
Once the AP-8122 is installed and powered on, complete the following steps to get the Access Point up and running
and access management functions:
1.The Access Point’s IP address is optimally provided using DHCP. A zero config IP address can also be
derived if DHCP resources are unavailable. Using zero config, the last two octets in the IP address are the
decimal equivalent of the last two bytes in the Access Point’s hardcoded MAC address.
For example:
MAC address - 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A
Zero-config IP address - 169.254.240.10
To derive the Access Point’s IP address using its MAC address:
a. Open the Windows calculator by selecting Start > All Programs > Accessories > Calculator. This menu
path may vary slightly depending on your version of Windows.
b. With the Calculator displayed, select View > Scientific. Select the Hex radio button.
c. Enter a hex byte of the Access Point’s MAC address. For example, F0.
d. Select the Dec radio button. The calculator converts F0 into 240. Repeat this process for the last
Access Point MAC address octet.
2.Point the Web browser to the Access Point’s IP address. The following login screen displays:
