Please check the packaging list first. If there are any missing or broken parts, please contact the authorized distributor of Relay2, Inc.

Safety

Read the Quick Installation Guide carefully before installation and power up.
To avoid over-heating, make sure the AP allows for proper heat dissipation and leave enough room for air circulation.
Do not directly touch the bottom of AP to avoid scalding. When the AP is in operation, depending on the environment temperatures, the surface temperature of back cover might get hot.
Any unauthorized modification of the product structure and safety design is not allowed.

Before you start

Before installation, signal detecting test can be used to determine the best installation position.
Keep your body at least 20cm away from the AP during installation and operation.
Install the AP at least 1M distance from any metal obstructions to avoid radio signal affected by metal shielding.
To avoid radio interference, keep the device away from magnets or magnetic fields, ie: do not place near microwave, refrigerator …etc.

Power Source Options

The RA641 access point can be powered by using the external Relay2 AC Adapter, PoE Injector (both sold separately), or a third-party PoE+ switch.

Warranty

Please provide the device model, MAC address and serial number shown on the tag of the side panel.
The warranty does not cover product that has been opened without authorization from Relay2 Inc.

T-Rail Mount the AP

The RA641 T-Rail mount is sold separately. Order number is RA641-T-MK-01.

Adjust the T-rail mount to the used T-rail size and fix the mounting bracket to the T-rail.

T-rail 14.3 mm
T-rail 23.8 mm
T-rail 38 mm

Slide the AP into the T-rail mount which works similar to the wall mount.

Verify RA641 Functionality

First check if the status LED is solid green. During first boot, it is highly likely that the AP is automatically updating its firmware, indicated by an amber blinking status LED. The status LED should turn solid green after the upgrade process has finished (normally within a few minutes). See LED indicator table below for more details.

Verify access point connectivity - use any 802.11 client device to connect to the RA641 AP and verify network connectivity using the client device web browser by going to a well-known web page.

Check network coverage and confirm good signal strength in the desired coverage area.
