Summary of Installation Steps

  • WLAN Planning. Usually, a comprehensive site survey is required before installation, such as installation location, brackets, cables, power source, etc.
  • Unpack the AP box and check all contents
  • Install the AP bracket on ceiling or wall
  • Installing the AP
  • Connecting required cables
  • Power connection
  • Verifying post-installation connectivity
  • AP provisioning

Access points are radio transmission devices and are subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators who are responsible for the configuration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, an access point must use channel assignments appropriate to the location where the access point will be deployed.

Power

The AP431 access point supports direct DC power adapter (48V DC nominal, sold separately) and Power over Ethernet (PoE).

The DC power connector port is located on the back of the device, as shown in Figure 3.

The PoE allows the Ethernet port to draw power from an IEEE 802.3bt source or dual IEEE 802.3at sources with full functionality.

Maximum (worst case) power consumption:

  • 29W (singe input IEEE 802.3bt PoE or dual input IEEE 802.3at PoE): Unrestricted functionality.
  • 23W (single input IEEE 802.3at PoE): The USB port is disabled.

Omni Access Stellar AP supports the power adapter provided by HAN ONLY.

Before You Begin

Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.

Pre-installation Checklist

Before installing your AP431 Stellar access point, be sure that you have the following items:

  • 8-conductor, CAT5e or better UTP cable of required length.
  • CAT5e or better supports 5GE up to 100meters
  • One of the following power sources:
    • IEEE 802.3bt compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source (PoE switch or PoE injector), with full functions.
    • IEEE 802.3at compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source (PoE switch or PoE injector), with limited functions.
    • AC-DC adapter (sold separately), output voltage DC 48V, output current ≥0.7A
  • A terminal or a notebook

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

You can mount the Omni Access Stellar AP on a ceiling rail or on a wall. You should first determine the location of the installation. The installation position is located at the center of the required coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference.

  • Minimize the number of obstructions (such as walls) between the AP and user terminals.
  • Electronic equipment or devices (such as microwave ovens) which may produce radio frequency noise should be away from the installation position of the AP.

It is strictly prohibited to install around stagnant water, water seepage, leakage or condensation. Avoid cable condensation or water seepage along the cables connecting to the AP

AP Installation

Refer to mounting kits installation Guide.

Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity

The LED on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving power and initializing successfully.
