Juniper NETWORKS AP45 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide

Juniper NETWORKS AP45 Wireless Access Point

Product Information

The AP45 is a high-performance Access Point that is equipped with four IEEE 802.11ax radios. These radios deliver 4×4 MIMO with four spatial streams, allowing for efficient multi-user (MU) or single-user (SU) mode operation. The AP45 is capable of operating simultaneously in the 6GHz band, 5GHz band, and 2.4GHz band, and it also includes a dedicated tri-band scan radio. The AP45 features several I/O ports, including a reset button, Eth0+PoE-in port for power and data transfer, Eth1+PSE-out port for power sourcing, and a USB2.0 support interface.

Product Usage Instructions

Resetting to Factory Default Settings

To reset the AP45 to its factory default settings, locate the reset button on the device. Press and hold the reset button for a few seconds until the device restarts. The AP45 will then be restored to its original factory settings.

Antenna Attachment

To attach antennas to the AP45, refer to the AP45E Antenna attachment section of the hardware installation guide for detailed instructions.

Mounting the AP45

If you are planning to mount the AP45 on a wall, make sure to use screws with a 1/4in. (6.3mm) diameter head and a length of at least 2 in. (50.8mm). The APBR-U bracket included in the AP45(E) box contains a set screw and an eyehook that can be used for wall mounting.

Overview
