AP302W Box Contents

Ensure that the following items are available:

Table 3 Contents of the AP302W Box

All optional brackets and accessories are sold separately. For detailed installation instructions about all mounting procedures, refer to the ExtremeWireless AP302W Access Point Installation Guide in the Extreme Networks Documentation Support site.

Install the Access Point

Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel must perform installation procedures.

Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP302Waccess points easily and safely.
The AP302W comes with a stainless-steel mounting bracket that can be used to mount the access point on flat surfaces such a wall or solid ceiling, or to a junction box. An optional desk stand is available for mounting the access point to a desk.

Note: For system Ethernet lines with receptacle, use the included RJ45 to RJ45 cable to connect the Ethernet cable to the access point. For system Ethernet lines without receptacle, connect the system Ethernet cable into the access point back ETH0 port.

Tools Required

Note: The installer must supply the required tools for installation.

• One < 1/4 in. flat-head or #1 Phillips head screwdriver
• One torx screwdriver with T8 or VT8 bit

Install the Access Point on a Wall

Pre-installation checklist:

• The mounting surface, item, and hardware must be able to support the access point in all environmental conditions.
• The mounting surface must be flat.

1 Using the stainless-steel mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill the wall installation holes on the wall.

2 Insert the screws into the mounting bracket wall installation holes as shown in Figure 3, and use the screw-in anchors, if needed.

Figure 3 Wall installation holes

3 Insert the Ethernet cable into the ETH0 port.
4 Insert the access point onto the bracket locking tab and slide it down until it is fully seated onto the bracket.
5 Attach the security locking screw to the security locking tab on the wall bracket, and lock the access point in place.
If you want to install the access point on a solid ceiling or a dry wall, you need to create a hole from behind the wall to run the RJ45 cable. For more information, refer to the ExtremeWireless AP302W Access Point Installation Guide.

Install the Access Point on a Junction Box

Use the stainless steel mounting bracket to mount the access point on a junction box.

1 Remove the screws from the box.
2 Line up the bracket holes with the large hole on the box.

Note: When you line up the holes, the bracket locking tab must be pointing up and the box must be fully covered by the bracket.

3 Using the aligned holes, attach the bracket to the box using the screws removed from the box earlier.
