Installation

Mounting on a Wall

1. At the installation location on the wall, use the mounting bracket to Mark four holes for the wall plugs and screws (included in the screw kit).
2. Drill four holes for the wall plugs, and then insert the plugs and tap them flush with the wall surface.
3. Use the four screws to secure the bracket to the wall.
4. With its ports facing down, place the AP over the bracket flanges and then slide it down until it snaps into its secured position.

Mounting on a Suspended Ceiling T-Bar

1. Slide the bracket accessory onto the base of the AP until it clicks into its locked position.
2. Use the included security screw to secure the bracket to the AP.
3. Position the ceiling-mount clip holders on either side of the T-bar, and then turn the AP until the two clips lock it to the T-bar.
   Note: The AP mounting supports two different sizes of suspended ceiling T-bars. The position illustrated above is for 24.5 mm bars. Use the position at a 90-degree angle for 15 mm bars.

Mounting on a Ceiling Without T-bars

1. At the installation location on the ceiling, use the mounting bracket to mark four holes for the plugs and screws (included in the screw kit).
2. Drill four holes for the plugs, and then insert the plugs and tap them flush with the ceiling surface.
3. Use the four screws to secure the bracket to the ceiling (screw torque must be less than 6 kg. cm).
4. Place the AP over the bracket flanges and then slide it onto the racket until it snaps into its secured position.

(Optional) Mounting on a Pole (max. 2.5-inch diameter)

1. Slide the pole-mount bracket onto the base of the AP until it clicks into its locked position.
2. Feed the two steel-band clamps through the pole-mount bracket mounting points.
3. Fasten the steel-band clamps around the pole to secure the AP to the pole.

(Optional) Connect AC Power Adapter

1. When not connected to a PoE source, connect the AC power adapter to the DC power jack on the AP and then plug the adapter into a nearby AC power source

Check the System LED

When operating normally, the System LED should be green. Blinking indicates the device is booting up.

Initial Setup and AP Registration
There are two options for setting up the AP for your network:

• When the AP is first connected to the Internet through the Uplink port, it is automatically redirected to open (https://cloud.openwifi.ignitenet.com/).
• Enter the AP’s MAC address and serial number for device registration.
• By default, the AP is assigned an IP address through DHCP. If the AP cannot connect to open, access the AP’s web interface through the AP’s LAN port to make configuration changes (for example, to change from DHCP to a static IP). See section “Connecting to the Web Interface”.

Connecting to the Web Interface

Note that you can only connect to the AP’s web interface when the AP is not connected to the Internet. Follow these steps to connect to the AP’s web interface through a network connection to the AP’s LAN port.

1. Connect a PC directly to the AP’s LAN port.
2. Set the PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the AP LAN port default IP address.
3. (The PC address must start 192.168.1.x with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.)
4. Enter the AP’s default IP address of 192.168.1.1 into the web browser address bar.
5. Log in to the web interface using the default user name “root” and password “open wifi”.

Note
The TIP OpenWiFi SDK default URL of the DigiCert certificate is set to open: (https://cloud.openwifi.ignitenet.com). If you want to register the AP to your own TIP OpenWiFi SDK, contact oxherd@edge-core.com to change the default URL.

Safety and Regulatory Information

FCC Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, under Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used by the instructions may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  help

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. For products available in the USA/Canada market, only channels 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.

IMPORTANT NOTE
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body.

Professional Installation Instructions

1. Installation personnel
   This product is designed for specific applications and should be installed by qualified personnel who know RF and its related regulations. A general user shall not attempt to install or modify the equipment configuration.

2. Installation location
   To meet regulatory RF exposure requirements, this product shall be installed at a location where, during normal operations, the radiating antenna is at least 20 cm away from any nearby persons.

3. External antenna
   Use only the antennas which have been approved by the applicant. Using non- approved antenna(s) is prohibited and may produce unwanted spurious or excessive RF transmitting power which may lead to a violation of FCC limits.

4. Installation procedure
   Please refer to this equipment’s user manual for the procedure details.

5. Warning
   The installation position must be carefully selected so that the final output power does not exceed the limit outlined in relevant regulations. Violation of output power regulations could lead to serious federal penalties.
