Unleashed Network Configuration

Setup Using the Unleashed Mobile App
To perform setup using the Unleashed Mobile App, download the iOS or Android app from the app store.

As soon as the Unleashed AP is powered on and connected to the local network, it boots up and begins broadcasting a temporary unencrypted WLAN named “Configure.Me-[xxxxxx]” from both radios.
Using your client’s Wi-Fi connection settings, select and associate to the “Configure.Me-[xxxxxx ]” WLAN.
Launch the app, and follow the on-screen instructions to configure your Unleashed network(s).

Mounting Instructions

Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
The factory-supplied T-bar mounting assembly kit allows you to attach the AP to recessed and flush drop-ceiling T-bars.

Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (1 in Figure 3) in the keyholes on the AP enclosure.
Slide the T-bar bracket away from the Ethernet ports on the bottom of the AP until the AP retainer tab snaps into place, trapping the T-bar bracket studs in the keyholes (2 in Figure 3).

FIGURE 6 Attaching the T-bar Bracket to the AP

Insert the locking tab (3 in Figure 3) so it is in the first position on the T-bar bracket (1 Figure 3).
Gently push the ceiling tiles, if present, up and out of the way.
Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge of the T-bar (1 in Figure 4). Make sure that both clasps are gripping the T-bar.
Hold the AP in place and gently push the locking tab (2 in Figure 4) until its clasp grips the other edge of the T-bar. Make sure that all three clasps are gripping the T-bar.

FIGURE 7 Attaching the T-bar Bracket to the T-bar

Mounting on a Flat Surface

The factory-supplied mounting screws and plastic wall anchors allow you to attach the AP to a wall or other flat surface.

Use the Mounting Template on the last page of this Quick Setup Guide to mark the locations for two drill holes on the mounting surface.
Use a 4.75-mm (3/16-in.) drill bit to drill holes approximately 25 mm (1 inch) deep into the mounting surface.
Insert the factory-supplied anchors (1 in Figure 5) and mounting screws (2 in Figure 5) into the mounting surface, leaving approximately 6 mm (1/4 inch) of the screw heads protruding for the AP enclosure.

FIGURE 8 Flat Surface Mounting

Place the AP onto the mounting screws so the screw heads enter the keyholes on the AP enclosure, and push the AP down until the AP retainer tab snaps into place.
