DC Power

Socket

| DC 48V power jack, support powering AP through a

designated AC-DC power adapter.

Reset

| Factory reset. Press reset button for 5s, AP LEDs will

quickly flash for 3s, then AP will restart and restore factory configurations.

Security

Table 2 Ethernet Port Pinout

Note: The serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local management. This port is an RJ-45 female connector with the pinouts described in Table 3. Currently for use by Service & Support only.

Note: The RS-485 port allows you to connect the AP to a RS-485 terminal. The maximum allowable current of PSE 12V power output is 300mA. In addition, PSE 12V power output can be turned on and off by software. This port is an RJ-45 female connector with the pinouts described in Table 4.

Power
The OAW-AP1331 series 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 802.3at compliant source with full functionality. If with 802.3af, the AP will work without RS485 PSE and USB port.

OmniAccess Stellar AP supports the power adapter provided by ALE ONLY.

Before You Begin

Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.

Pre-installation Checklist

Before installing your OAW-AP1331 Stellar access point, be sure that you have the following items:

8-conductor, CAT5 or better UTP cable of required length.
One of the following power sources:
IEEE 802.3at compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source (PoE switch or PoE injector).
AC-DC adapter (sold separately)，output voltage DC 48V, output current ≥0.6A
A terminal or a notebook

Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the OmniAccess 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.

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.
