ExtremeWireless 802.11ax AP4000 and AP4000U Indoor Access Points

AP4000 and AP4000U Overview
The AP4000 and AP4000U access points are high-performance 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E, 6 GHz, 5 GHz band, and 2.4 GHz band access points designed for high-density indoor environments. The access points support IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user access. The access point can be installed on an indoor environment such as a ceiling rail, on non- standard ceilings, and on a wall.
The AP4000 and AP4000U access points have the following features:

  • One multicolor LED status light For LED activity description, see “Status LED Activity Description”

  • One light sensor located at the top of the device

  • Two Ethernet ports – Eth0 and Eth1 Ethernet ports (Eth0 and Eth1) automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex connections with the connecting device.

    • Eth0 is 100/1000/2500 Mbps auto-negotiation Ethernet port, RJ45 Power over Ethernet (PoE) at 802.3at Eth1 is 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation Ethernet port, RJ45
    • These ports are auto-sensing and adjust to straight-through and crossover standard Cat5e or better Ethernet cables automatically. The access point receives power through an Ethernet connection to the ETH0 port from power sourcing equipment (PSE) that is compatible with the 802.3at and 802.3at standards.
  •  One USB port
    Use the USB port to connect USB-based beacons such as iBeacon and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Remove the screw that secures the protective cover to access the USB port.

  • One micro USB console port

  •  One reset button

  •  One Kensington lock
    The best practice is to use Kensington locks for locking the device.

  • Temperature:

    • – Operating temperature: 0 °C to +50 °C (+32 °F to +122 °F)
    • Storage temperature: -40 °C to +70 °C (-40 °F to +158 °F)
  • Relative humidity: 0% to 95% non-condensing

Power Specifications

  • IEEE 802.3at PoE Power
  •  Ultra-wideband (UWB) support on AP4000U

Power Options

  •  Power Draw:
    • Typical: 13.0 W; Max: 14.5 W (without USB)
    • Typical: 15.8 W; Max: 17.3 W (with USB)

Status LED Activity Description
The AP4000 and AP4000U access points have one status light on top of the chassis. The status light conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet and wireless interface activity, and major alarms.

  • Steady white: The device has successfully established a Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) connection to Extreme Cloud IQ and is operating normally.
  • Slow-blinking white: The device has a CAPWAP connection to Extreme Cloud IQ, but is operating on 802.3af power instead of 802.3at power.
  • Steady amber: The device is initializing, rebooting, or is running without a CAPWAP connection.
  • Slow-blinking amber: The device has no CAPWAP connection to Extreme Cloud IQ, and is operating on 802.3af power instead of 802.3at power.
  • Fast-blinking amber: The device is upgrading it’s IQ Engine firmware.
  •  Dark: power is off.

Micro USB Console Port
Through the console port, you can make a serial connection between your management system and the access point.

Note: When you connect to the device using the micro USB Console port, the management station from which you connect to the device must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro© (a free terminal emulator) or Hillgrove HyperTerminal® (provided with Windows operating systems from XP forward).
