1Introduction
The AP-650 Thin Access Point, a component of the Motorola Wireless Switch System, links wireless
802.11a/b/g/n devices to the switch, enabling growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective
alternative to standard access points. The AP-650 Thin Access Point provides two placement options:
wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots fit onto two screws provided. Arrows on the case guide placement
of the screws. For placement above a suspended ceiling, a safety wire tie point on the case provides
for a loop of safety wire. The light pipe fits through a hole in the ceiling tile to provide a view of the
unit’s status lights.
The AP-650 Thin Access Point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better
Ethernet cable. There is no additional power supply required. An 802.3af Ethernet switch or power
injector is required.

transmission.
1.4 AP-650 Package Contents
The AP-650 model Thin Access Point comes in four configurations, two Integrated Antenna models
and two External Antenna models. The contents of the package differ between the Integrated
Antenna model and the External Antenna model.
1.4.1 External Antenna Model Package Contents
•AP-650 Thin Access Point with external antenna connectors (Plenum Rated)
•Two wall mount screws
•Two wall anchors
•Light pipe
•Badge for light pipe
•AP-650 Installation Guide (This Guide)
1.4.2 Integrated Antenna Model Package Contents
•AP-650 Thin Access Point with integrated antennas
•Two wall mount screws
•Two wall anchors
•AP-650 Installation Guide (This Guide)
Introduction
1.5 Features
•One RJ-45 connector
•LED indicators
•Safety wire tie point
•Slots for wall mounting
•Clips for mounting on a suspended ceiling T-bar
•Lock port for Kensington® style Security Lock
The AP-650 Thin Access Point has one RJ-45 connector supporting an 10/100/1000 Ethernet port and
requires 802.3af-compliant power from an external source.
NOTEWhen operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable
is required for Gigabit operation.
The AP-650 Thin Access Point comes in both single and dual radio versions both supporting 802.11a/
b/g/n.
The Thin Access Point contains runtime firmware which enables the unit to boot after either a power
up or a watchdog reset. The runtime firmware on the Thin Access Point and the firmware downloaded
from the switch can be updated via the Ethernet interface from the Wireless Switch.

2Hardware Installation
2.1 Installation Instructions
The AP-650 Thin Access Point mounts either on a wall with wide-shoulder screws or on a suspended
ceiling T-bar. This unit is not designed for mounting on a desk.
To prepare for installation, perform the following steps:
1.Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the packing list
and on the case of the device shipped.
2.Verify that the contents of the box include the intended AP-650 Thin Access Point and that
the included hardware matches the package contents on page 2.
Part NumberDescription
AP-0650-60010-XX802.11a/b/g/n single radio integrated antenna configuration
AP-0650-66030-XX802.11a/b/g/n dual radio integrated antenna configuration
AP-0650-60020-XX802.11a/b/g/n single radio external antenna configuration
AP-0650-66040-XX802.11a/b/g/n dual radio external antenna configuration
NOTEIn the above part numbers XX represents the 2-digit country code which
specifies which country the model is designed for. A country code of
“WW” represents a world wide model.
3.Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting
position for the AP-650 Thin Access Point.
4.Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3af power source and run the
cable to the installation site. Ensure that there is sufficient slack on the cable to perform the
installation steps.
NOTEWhen operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable
is required for Gigabit operation.
2.2 Precautions
Before installing an AP-650 model Thin Access Point, verify the following:
Hardware Installation
•Motorola recommends not to install the AP-650 in wet or dusty areas.
•Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 50° 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.
Place the access point using the following guidelines:
•Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
•Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.
To maximize the access point’s radio coverage area, Motorola recommends conducting a site survey
to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the access point.

2.4 Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount Instructions
This mounting requires hanging the AP-650 Thin Access Point along its width or length using the two
slots on the bottom of the unit. The AP-650 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall
surface using the provided wall anchors when necessary. The illustration shows a lengthwise mount.
2.4.1 Wall Mount Hardware
•Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
•Two wall anchors
•Security cable (optional)
NOTEIn the event that the original mounting screws are lost, the following
screws can be used instead: (ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or
AB Self-Tapping Screw, or (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm
Type D Self-Tapping Screw.
