or to a standard telecommunications junction box.

To prepare for the installation:

1. Match the part number on the purchase order with the part numbers in the packing list
and on the case of the AP-7602.

2. Verify the contents of the box include the intended AP-7602, and the included
hardware matches the package contents
(see AP-7602 Package Contents on page 6

or CAT-6 cable is recommended for Gigabit operation.

Installation Guide 9

2.2 Precautions

Before installing an AP-7602, verify the following:

• You are using the correctly rated power solution for the AP-7602 (either the power
injector or the external power supply)

AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR PWR INJECTOR: SINGLE PORT

HI-PWR 802.3AT

PWR SPLY:100-240 VAC, 12VDC,

1.0A min, 2.5mm barrel, center
positive, maximum operating
temperature at least 40°C

• Do not to install the AP-7602 in wet or dusty areas.

• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 32° F to 104°
(0-40°C).

• This product is intended for indoor use only.

AC/DC Power Supply

2.3 Placing the AP-7602

For optimal performance, install the AP-7602 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 AP-7602 in an
open area or add Wireless Wallplates 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.

To maximize the radio coverage area, Zebra recommends conducting a site survey to define
and document radio interference obstacles before installing the AP-7602.

2.4 Power Injector System

An AP-7602 can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/POE (LAN) port.
The AP-7602 can receive power from either a standard 802.3af PSE connected to GE1, or a
12VDC power supply.

When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place units in obscure locations.
In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each AP-7602 in addition to the
Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at
each AP-7602 location. The Power Injector merges power and Ethernet into one cable,

10 AP-7602 Wireless Wallplate

reducing the burden of installation and allowing optimal AP-7602 placement in respect to the
intended coverage area.

CAUTION Using a non-compliant injector, or an injector supporting

legacy modes will not allow the AP-7602 to function at
optimum performance levels.

The Power Injector is a high power POE Injector delivering up to 30 watts. The AP-7602 can
only use a Power Injector when connecting the unit to the AP-7602’s GE1/POE port. The
Power Injector is separately ordered and not shipped with an existing AP SKU.

The Power Supply is not included with the AP-7602 and is orderable separately as an
accessory. Disconnecting AC power from the Wireless Wallplate causes the unit to re-boot
before sourcing power from a 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 AP-7602
continues to operate with power supplied from the AC adapter without change to the operating
configuration. If using AC adapter supplied power and a change to the AP’s operating
configuration is warranted, the AP-7602 needs to be manually rebooted by the customer.

CAUTION The AP-7602 supports any standards-based compliant

power source. However, using the wrong solution
(including a POE system used on a legacy device) could
either limit functionality or severely damage the AP-7602
and void the product warranty.

Installation Guide 11

!

A separate Power Injector is required for each AP-7602 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 AP-7602:

• 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.

CAUTION To avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable

POE from a wired switch port connected to an AP-7602 if
mid-span power sourcing equipment (PSE) is used
between the two, regardless of the manufacturer of the
switch.

!

CAUTION Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using

an AC cable with an appropriate ground connection
approved for the country of operation.

To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and an AP-7602:

1. Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (100VAC to 240VAC).

2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out
connector and the AP-7602’s GE1/POE port.

3. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the
Power Injector Data In connector.

Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and
AP-7602 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 LEDs.

2.5 Mounting Instructions

An AP-7602 can be mounted to a flat wall surface or over an existing telco junction box.

NOTE Before mounting and installing the AP-7602, obtain the

unit’s default IP address from the backside of the unit. This
default IP address is needed when connecting to the
Access Point.

2.5.1 Wall Mount Procedure

To mount an AP-7602 Access Point to a wall surface (no telco box):

1. Place the mounting bracket against the wall.

2. Mark the screw hole locations.

NOTE When pre-drilling a hole the recommended hole size is 4mm

(0.16in.).

Installation Guide 13

3. At each point, drill a hole in the wall and attach the mounting bracket.

4. Cable the AP-7602 using either the Power Injector solution, an approved AP-7602
power supply or a POE enabled switch.

For Power Injector installations:
a. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the Power Injector

Data & Power Out connector and the AP-7602’s GE1/POE port.

b. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the network data

supply (host) and the Power Injector Data In connector.

c. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and

AP-7602 does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The Power Injector has no On/Off

power switch. The Power Injector receives power as soon as AC power is applied.
For standard power adapter (non Power Injector) and line cord installations:
a. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the

AP-7602’s GE1/POE port.
b. Connect the power supply line cords to the power adapter.
c. Attach the power adapter cable into the power connector on the AP-7602.
d. Attach the power supply line cord to a power supply.

5. Once cabled, snap the AP-7602 on the mounting plate

6. Verify the AP-7602 is receiving power by observing the LEDs are lit or flashing. For
more information on AP-7602 LED behavior, see LED Indicators on page 17.

7. The AP-7602 is ready to configure.

CAUTION Using an incorrectly rated power supply could damage

the AP-7602 and void the product warranty. Do not
actually connect to the power source until the cabling
portion of the installation is complete.
