Mounting and Connecting the AP

Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures.

Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP510e easily and safely.The AP510e comes with a Mounting Bracket (#37201) that can be used to mount the AP on a flat t-bar with flat ceiling tiles, flat surfaces, beams, and some junction/gang boxes. An adaptor and brackets are available for mounting the AP to non-flat ceiling tiles and t-bars. To mount the AP510e on a junction/gang box, use the optional bracket (WS-MBI-WALL04;

30516). All additional and optional parts are sold separately.

Note: The mounting procedures for installing the AP using the WS-MBI- DCFLUSH (ordering part #37211) adaptor to a T-bar, WS-MBI-DCMTR01(ordering part #30518) to a T-bar, and using the main mounting bracket(ordering part

37201) along with a flat metal-easy attach adaptor (ordering part #37210),

Accessory BRKT-000147A-01 (beam clip), and KT-135628-01 are covered in the Extreme Wireless AP510e Installation Guide.

Mounting the AP on a Wood Wall/Solid Flat Ceiling

Pre-installation checklist:

  • The mounting surface, item, and hardware must be able to support the AP in all environmental conditions.
  • The mounting surface should be flat.
    • To install the AP on a dry wall or flat surface:

Option 1: Using the Main Mounting Bracket

  1. Use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the hole centers on the wall.
    Note: The four feet of the bracket and the direction of the arrow mark must be vertical and pointing up and the flat part of the bracket must be touching the surface it is being attached to.

  2. Drill two holes 83mm (3.270”) apart from each other on the wall where you want to mount the AP. Insert the screws into the holes of the mounting bracket and use the screw-in anchors if needed.

  3. Insert the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector into the LAN1/GE1 port.

  4. Insert the AP onto the bracket’s four feet and slide it down to lock it in place.
    Note: The T-bar width can be either 9/16” (15mm) or 15/16” (24mm).

Option 2: Using an optional Wall and Box bracket
For detailed instructions, see the ExtremeWireless AP510e Installation Guide.

Mounting the AP to a Suspended or Drop Ceiling

The AP510e can be mounted to a suspended or drop ceiling directly using the mounting bracket on the t-bar. If there is a ceiling tile protrusion, add the optional T-bar adaptor to the main mounting bracket prior to T-bar installation.
Option 1: Using the Main Mounting Bracket to a T-bar
Before installation ensure that:

  • The base thickness of the T-bar that supports the ceiling tile is 0.031”.
  • The maximum base thickness of the T-bar of the T-bar is 0.055”.
    Note: The T-bar width can be either 9/16” (15mm) or 15/16” (24mm).
  1. Remove the ceiling tiles, slide and rotate the main mounting bracket onto the T-bar in such a way that the center angled locking tabs of the main bracket gets attached to the T-bar.
  2. Replace the tiles to hold the T-bar in place.
  3. Hold the AP and rock it back and forth to ensure it is securely mounted.
  4. Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the LAN1/GE1 port.

Option 2: Mounting the AP by attaching an adaptor to the main bracket For detailed instructions, see the Extreme Wireless AP510e Installation Guide.

Mounting the AP on a Junction or Gang Box
For detailed procedure on Installing the AP to a Junction or Gang Box, see the Extreme Wireless AP510e Installation Guide.

Mounting the AP to a Beam
For detailed procedure on Installing the AP to a Beam, see the Extreme Wireless AP510e Installation Guide.

Connecting a Power Supply to the AP510e
If you need to power the AP510e with an external 12V DC power supply, you can plug the power cord into the power connector on the back of the AP. There is no wall mount bracket for the 12V DC power supply. When the device is powered on, the power LED on the front face of the AP is lit. Refer to the Extreme Wireless AP510e Installation Guide for information about optional power supplies.
