Product Usage Instructions

Installation Options
The access point can be installed on a desktop, ceiling, or wall. Please refer to the correct access point orientations for each installation option:

1. Desktop
2. Ceiling
3. Wall

Pre-fitting the Mounting Bracket

1. Place the access point upside down on a table.
2. Install the two provided screws fully into the bottom panel of the access point. The screw collar provides the proper spacing for the mounting bracket beneath the screw head.
3. Slide the mounting bracket beneath the screws to ensure a proper fit.
4. Slide the mounting bracket forward and remove it from the access point.

Installing the Mounting Bracket on a Wall or Ceiling:

1. Choose a location and orientation for the access point on the wall or ceiling.
2. Position the mounting bracket at the selected location and mark the two key-hole slots on the wall or ceiling using a pencil.
3. If necessary, pre-drill the two marked locations for the screws on the wall or ceiling.
4. Install two M4 screws and anchors (if required) into the wall or ceiling, leaving them loose enough to slide the bracket under the screw heads.

Connecting Network Devices:

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN1 POE+ port of the access point.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a network device, such as a switch or router.
3. If using LAN2 port in the static LAG or Cascade mode, connect a second Ethernet cable to LAN2 port.
   Note: When LAN1 port is connected to PoE+ power sourcing equipment, the TQ6602 GEN2 access point powers on and begins to initialize its management software.
   For any missing or damaged items, please contact your Allied Telesis sales representative for assistance. It is recommended to retain the original shipping material in case you need to return the unit to Allied Telesis.

Desktop

Ceiling

Wall

Do not install the access point facing down.

Pre-fitting the Mounting Bracket

Before installing the mounting bracket on a wall or ceiling, pre-fit the bracket to the access point.

1. Place the access point upside down on a table.
2. Install the two screws (provided) fully into the bottom panel of the access point.

The screw collar provides the proper spacing for the mounting bracket beneath the screw head.

3. Make sure that the mounting bracket fits to the access point by sliding the bracket beneath the screws.

4. Slide the mounting bracket forward and remove it from the access point.

Installing the Mounting Bracket on a Wall or Ceiling

1. Choose a location and orientation for the access point on the wall or ceiling.

2. Position the mounting bracket at the selected location for the access point. With a pencil, mark the two key-hole slots on the wall or ceiling.

3. If necessary, pre-drill on the wall or ceiling the two marked locations of the key-hole slots for the screws.

4. Install two M4 screws and anchors (if required) into the wall or ceiling. Leave the screws loose enough so that you can slide the bracket under the screw heads. For wooden walls or ceiling, Allied Telesis recommends M4 25 mm flat-head wood screws and anchors (if required). The screws and anchors are not provided.

5. Install the openings of the bracket key-hole slots to the two screw heads and slide the bracket into the narrow end of the key-hole slot openings.

6. Tighten the screws snugly onto the bracket.

7. To secure the mounting bracket, pre-drill holes through the two bracket mounting holes opposite the key-hole slots.

8. Install and tighten two M4 screws (not provided).

Cabling the Wireless Access Point

Perform the following procedure to cable the Ethernet LAN port and to power the device:

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to LAN1 (POE) port.

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a network device, such as a switch or router.
   Note
   When LAN1 port is connected to PoE+ power sourcing equipment, the TQ6602 GEN2 access point powers on and begins to initialize its management software.

3. To use LAN2 port in the static LAG or Cascade mode, connect a second Ethernet cable to LAN2 port.

4. Connect the other end of a network device.
   To use LAN2 port as a static LAG with LAN1 port, connect LAN2 to the same switch or router as LAN1 port. To use it in the Cascade mode, connect LAN2 to a different device.
   Note
   The default setting for LAN2 port is disabled. To enable the port, use the web management interface. For more details, see the TQ6602 GEN2 Management Software User’s Guide.
   Note
   Do not enable the LAN2 port until you have configured the other network device for the static LAG.

Powering the Wireless Access Point

The access point can be powered with PoE+ on the LAN1 or/and LAN2 ports, an external AC/DC power adapter, or both. The access point is powered by both PoE and an external power adapter uses the adapter as its primary power and PoE as redundant power.
Allied Telesis recommends the PWRADP-01 (DA-48Z12) AC/DC Power Adapter. The power adapter is ordered separately.

1. Plug the DC connector into the DC IN jack on the access point.

2. Connect the power adapter into an appropriate AC power source.

3. Turn on the Power Switch on the panel.
   Note
   The power switch on the access point controls power from the AC power supply. It does not control PoE+ on the LAN1 and LAN2 ports.

Installing the Access Point on the Wall Mounting Bracket

1. Align the bottom of the access point over the bracket so that the two screws on the bottom of the device fit into the bracket keyholes.

2. Slide the access point forward until its screws are seated in the bracket keyhole slots and the bracket thumbscrew is aligned with the screw hole on the front panel.

3. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the access point to the wall mounting bracket.

4. Place the Ethernet cable(s) and power cable (if any) along the cable guides inside of the top cover in the cable hiding space.

Installing an Anti-theft Device

Installation of an anti-theft cable/lock is optional.
Note
Anti-theft devices are not available from Allied Telesis.

1. Follow the instructions provided with the vendor’s anti-theft device for the installation.

Starting the Initial Management Session

• The access point firmware includes a DHCP client. The default setting for the client is enabled. When you power on the access point for the first time, it queries the subnet on the LAN port for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server responds to its query, the unit uses the IP address the server assigns to it.

• If there is no DHCP server, the access point uses the default IP address: 192.168.1.230.

• To start the initial management session, perform the following procedure:

  1. Start the web browser on your management workstation.
  2. Enter the IP address of the wireless access point in the URL field of the web browser. The address is one of the following:
  • If your network does not have a DHCP server, enter the default address 192.168.1.230.
  • If your network has a DHCP server, enter the IP address the DHCP server assigned to the access point.
    The wireless access point displays the logon prompt.
  3. Enter “manager” for the username and “friend” for the password. The username and password are case-sensitive.

Setting the Country Setting

• The non-US model of this product has a country code setting that must be set during the initial management session of the unit. The setting ensures that the unit operates in compliance with the laws and regulations of your country or region.
• The country code for the US model is preset and cannot be changed. Per FCC regulations, the country code setting for all WiFi products marketed in the US must be fixed to US operational channels only.
