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-AP1301 series 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 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.
OmniAccess Stella 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-AP1301 Stellar access point, be sure that you have the following items:

8-conductor, CAT5, or better UTP cable of the 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.
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 the 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.
