Safety Precautions and Site Requirements

Review the safety precautions and site requirements in the TQ6602 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide before installing the device.

Power Sources for the Wireless Access Point

You can power the device with a PoE+ power source on the LAN (POE) network copper port or an external AC/DC power adapter, such as the PWRADP-01 (DA- 48Z12) AC/DC Power Adapter. The power adapter is ordered separately. For installation information for the power adapter and anti-theft cable/lock device, refer to the TQ6602 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide.

Installing the Wireless Access Point on a Desktop

To install the access point on a table desktop, perform the following procedure:

Note
Allied Telesis recommends installing the wall mounting bracket on the bottom panel of the wireless access point when installing the device on a table. The bracket will facilitate airflow through the cooling fins on the bottom of the device.

1. Place the wireless access point upside down on a table.

2. Install the two M5 x8mm pan-head mounting-bracket screws (included) fully into the bottom panel of the wireless access point.
   
   The screw collar provides the proper spacing for the mounting bracket beneath the screw head.
   

3. Slide the mounting bracket beneath the screws.
   

4. Tighten the bracket retaining screw.
   

5. Turn the wireless access point upright on the table.

6. Place the wireless access point at the selected location.

7. Go to “Cabling and Powering the Wireless Access Point”

Installing the Wireless Access Point on a Wall or Ceiling

Installing the Wall Mounting Bracket
You can install the wireless access point on a wall with the front panel pointing to the left, down, or right. Do not install it with the front panel pointing up.

1. Choose a location and orientation for the access point on the wall or ceiling.

2. Position the mounting bracket at the selected location for the access point. Review the following guidelines:
   • The thumbscrew on the mounting bracket is where the front panel will be.
   • The ports and connectors are on the back panel, away from the thumbscrew.

3. With a pencil, mark the two key-hole slots on the wall or ceiling
   

4. If necessary, pre-drill on the wall or ceiling the two marked locations of the key-hole slots for the screws.

5. Install two screws and anchors (if required) into the wall or ceiling. Leave the screws loose enough so that you can slide the bracket under the screw heads. For wooden walls, Allied Telesis recommends M4 25.0mm flat-head wood screws and anchors.
   

6. Install the bracket on the screws by sliding the key-hole slots under the screw heads.
   

7. Tighten the screws snugly onto the bracket
   

8. To secure the mounting bracket, pre-drill holes through the two bracket mounting holes opposite the key-hole slots.
   
   9. Install two M4 screws (not provided). This completes the bracket installation.
   

Installing the Access Point on the Wall Mounting Bracket

1. Place the wireless access point upside down on a table.

2. Install the two M5 x8mm pan-head mounting-bracket screws (provided) in the bottom panel of the access point chassis.
   

3. Align the bottom of the access point over the bracket so that the two screws on the bottom of the device fit into the bracket keyholes.
   

4. Slide the wireless access point so that its screws are seated in the bracket keyhole slots and the bracket thumbscrew is aligned with the screw hole on the front panel.
   

5. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the wireless access point to the wall mounting bracket.
   

Cabling and Powering the Wireless Access Point

Perform the following procedure to cable the Ethernet LAN port and to power the device:

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN (POE) port.
   
   Note
   If the Ethernet cable is connected to a PoE+ power source device, the TQ6602 wireless access point powers on and begins to initialize its management software.

2. To power the access point with a DC power supply, plug the DC connector into the DC IN jack.
   

3. To secure the device against theft, install an anti-theft cable/lock on the Kensington lock. Follow the instructions provided with the vendor’s anti-theft device. Anti theft devices are not available from Allied Telesis.

Starting the Initial Management Session

This section contains an abbreviated version of the procedure for starting the initial management session. For complete instructions, refer to the TQ6602 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide or TQ6602 Management Software User’s Guide.
The wireless access point firmware includes a DHCP client. The default setting for the client is enabled. When you power on the access point for the first time, it queries the subnet on the LAN port for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server responds to its query, the unit uses the IP address the server assigns to it. If there is no DHCP server, the access point uses the default IP address 192.168.1.230.

To start the initial management session, perform the following procedure:

1. Start the web browser on your management workstation.

2. Enter the IP address of the wireless access point in the URL field of the web
   browser. The address is one of the following:
    If your network does not have a DHCP server, enter the default address 192.168.1.230.
    If your network has a DHCP server, enter the IP address the DHCP server assigned to the access point.
   The wireless access point displays the logon prompt.
   

3. Enter “manager” for the username and “friend” for the password. The username and password are case-sensitive.

Setting the Country Setting

For instructions on setting the country setting, refer to the TQ6602 Wireless Access Point Installation Guide or TQ6602 Management Software User’s Guide.

Note
The non-US model of this product has a country code setting that must be set during the initial management session of the unit. The setting ensures that the unit operates in compliance with the laws and regulations of your country or region.

The country code for the US model is preset and cannot be changed. Per FCC
regulations, the country code setting for all WiFi products marketed in the US must be fixed to US operational channels only.
