The OAW-AP1301H access point is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface (Type A). When active, the USB port can supply up to 5V/0.5A power to an attached device.
Reset button
Factory reset. Press the reset button for 5s, AP LEDs will quickly flash for 3s, then AP will restart and restore factory configurations.
Power
The OAW-AP1301H access point supports a direct DC power adapter (48V DC nominal, sold separately) and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The DC power connector port is located on the side of the device, as shown in Figure 6.
When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over PoE. OmniAccess Stellar AP supports the power adapter provided by ALE ONLY.
The PoE-in allows the Eth0 port to draw power from an 802.3at (preferred) source, or an 802.3af (optional) source.
When powered by an 802.3at or DC power source, the PoE-out (PoE-PSE) functionality is enabled on port Eth3/PSE.

Before You Begin

Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your OAW-AP1301H access point, be sure that you have the following items:

  • Gigabit Ethernet cable of the required length.
  • One of the following power sources: § IEEE 802.3af/at compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. § ALE AC-DC adapter (sold separately), Output voltage DC 48V, output current ≥ 0.6A is recommended.
  • A PC terminal or a notebook

Identifying Specific Installation Locations
The OAW-AP1301H access point must be secured to an ALE-approved wall or to a desk mount kit (sold separately).
The installation position should be as close as possible to 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.

Installing the Access Point

The OAW-AP1301H can be mounted into a single-gang wall box with a shipped mounting plate.
Installing all ALE access points requires professional training. The AP must be professionally installed by a qualified engineer familiar with the WLAN system. Failure to properly install this product may result in physical injury and/or damage to property.
Use the steps below to install your OAW-AP1301H.

  1. Begin by removing the existing data wall plate (if applicable).

  2. Make sure that there is an uplink Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 plug in the wall box. If not, please crimp an RJ-45 plug (not supplied) on the Ethernet cable.

  3. Align the mounting holes of the AP1301H mounting plate with mounting holes in your gang box, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8. For a worldwide single gang outlet box, the mounting plate has two sets of mounting holes to meet the individual installation position requirement.

  4. Insert the two included slotted screws and tighten them to secure the mounting plate.

  5. Connect the uplink Ethernet cable to the Eth0 port on the back of the AP1301H. Do the same for the PT port, if used.

  6. Align the mounting slots on the back of the AP1301H with the corresponding mounting posts on the wall mounting plate as shown in Figure 9.

  7. Push the access point against the posts and downward until the posts engage the slots at the top of the slots.
