Extreme Networks AP510CX Hardware User Guide

Extreme Networks AP510CX Hardware User Guide

Read about and view specifications and compliance information for the AP510C and AP510CX in this topic. Install the AP510C and AP510CX using this topic.

The AP510C and AP510CX are high-performance dual-5G and dual band access points.

Both are designed for indoor high-density environments that require HD video streaming and large file transfers. The AP510CX has external antennas (sold separately), and an extended temperature range for industrial environments. These devices support IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency- Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user access.

Both access point have a Bluetooth BLE i-beacon for location based services.

For regulatory and compliance information, see “Regulatory Compliance Statements”.

Important! Change the Country Code

If your access point is configured for the World Regulatory Domain, it is important to set the country code to the country in which the AP will be deployed to meet regulatory requirements and for optimal wireless operation. To do this, follow these steps:

The country code selection is for World models only and is not available to FCC, CAN, and other country-specific models. Per FCC regulations, all Wi-Fi products marketed in the United States must be set to U.S. channels only.

1. Power on the AP and allow it to find and connect to ExtremeCloud IQ. Once the AP is connected it appears in the table of devices on the Manage > Devices page.
2. Select the check box next to the AP, and then choose Assign Country Code from the Actions drop-down list. In the dialog box, select the appropriate country from the drop-down list, and then click Save.
3. Upload your changes to the device.

Safety Guidelines

The safety information in this section applies to AP510C and AP510CX devices.

The following safety icons are used in these guidelines to identify the type of precaution:

Install the AP

You can mount the AP510C and AP510CX on a flat surface or wall, or on the rails of a standard dropped ceiling grid. There is also an accessory mounting bracket that allows you to install the device in Armstrong-style dropped ceilings (ordered separately).

The following sections describe how to install your AP510C and AP510CX devices and connect them to the network.

Shipping Carton Contents

The AP510C and AP510CX shipping carton contains the following items:

•  AP510C or AP510CX chassis
• Mounting bracket
•  Read Me card

Install the AP on a Ceiling Track

The AP510C and AP510CX ship with a mounting bracket that lets you easily install them on the Trail of a standard dropped ceiling grid. The following illustrations show how to install the bracket to the ceiling rail, and then install the AP on the bracket.

Once the bracket is secure, you can install the AP by aligning the red dot on the bracket with the red dot on the bottom of the AP. Keeping the dots aligned, raise the AP up until the bracket fits into the circular depression in the bottom of the AP. When the AP is firmly seated, rotate it clockwise until it clicks in to place. The process is identical for both models.

Mount the AP on a Wall

Use the holes in the accessory wall-mount bracket as a template to mark the wall. Drill holes in the wall and attach the bracket to the wall using wall screws and wall anchors if necessary. Attach the AP to the bracket in the same manner as shown in the previous section. Install external
antennas on AP510CX devices. Order antennas from Extreme Networks (AH-ACC-ANT- AX-KT).

Lock the AP

You can secure the AP using a Kensington® lock in the lock slot on the side of the device, or you can use a security bracket and a crosshead screw or a security screw. Security brackets and screws can be ordered separately from Extreme Networks (not available in Brazil).
Extreme Networks recommends a variety of Kensington locks. For more information, contact your sales representative.

Hardware Components

You can see the hardware components of the AP510C and AP510CX in the illustration below and read about them in the sections that follow. The illustration shows an AP510C model. The components are the same for both models, except the AP510CX has eight external antenna connectors.

Component Descriptions

Status Light

The status light conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet and wireless interface activity, and major alarms. The AP510C and AP510CX have a rectangular status light on the top right corner of the chassis. At setup, this light cycles through the following
sequence:

• Steady Amber: The device is initializing.
• Slow-blinking White: The device is receiving 802.3af power, instead of 802.3at power.
• Fast-blinking White: The device is looking for a mesh neighbor from which to obtain a password.
• Slow-blinking Amber (AF power mode only): The device is attempting to establish a connection or has established a CAPWAP connection with ExtremeCloud IQ.
• Fast-blinking Amber: The device is performing a IQ Engine or ExtremeCloud IQ upgrade.
• Steady White: The device has successfully established a CAPWAP connection and is operating normally.

Ethernet Ports

The ETH0 port is autosensing 100/1000/2500G BASE-T/TX Mbps, with IEEE 802.3af- or 802.3at-compliant PoE, and requires Cat6 cable.
The Eth 1 port is autosensing 10/100/1000 BASE-T/TX Mbps, wth IEEE 802.3af- or 802.3at-compliant PoE.

There are three power options. In the event of a failure, the device will automatically reboot using the next priority power source. When the failed power source is replaces, you must manually reboot the device again to use the repaired power source. For example, if Eth0 and Eth1 are in use, and Eth0 fails, the device will automatically reboot using Eth1. When Eth0 is restored, you will need to manually reboot the device to again use Eth0.

The priorities are:

• First priority: 12VDC
• Second priority: PoE – Eth0
•  Third priority: PoE – Eth1
