Extreme networks AP310e Indoor Access Points

AP310i/e Overview

The AP310i/e access points are indoor model 802.11ax access points. The “i” in AP310i indicates that the access point comes with internal antennas and the “e” indicates that it comes with external antenna connectors. The access points feature built-in dual-band radios, two band-locked radios, four WiFi internal or external antennas. The AP310i/e can be mounted on a flat surface such as a wall, solid flat ceiling, and to a junction box or gang box, and can be installed on a suspended ceiling or a drop ceiling.

**** All optional brackets and accessories are sold separately. For detailed installation instructions about all mounting procedures, refer to the ExtremeMobility Access Points AP310i/e Installation Guide in the Extreme Networks Documentation Support site

Install the Access Point

****| Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures.
---|---

Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP310i/e access points easily and safely.

The AP310i/e comes with a Mounting Bracket (#37201) that can be used to mount the access point on a flat T-bar with flat ceiling tiles, flat surfaces, or beams. An adapter and brackets are available for mounting the access point to non-flat ceiling tiles and T-bars. To mount the AP310i/e on a junction box or a gang box, use the optional bracket (WS-MBIWALL04; #30516).

****| Note: The mounting procedures for installing the access point using the WSMBI-DCFLUSH (ordering part #37211) adapter to a T-bar, WS-MBI-DCMTR01 (ordering part #30518) to a T-bar, and using the main mounting bracket (ordering part #37201) along with a flat metal easy-attach adapter (ordering part #37210), accessory BRKT-000147A-01 (beam clip), and KT-135628-01 are covered in the ExtremeWireless Access Points AP310i/e Installation Guide.

Install the Access Point on a Wall or a Flat Ceiling

Pre-installation checklist:

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

Option 1: Install the Access Point Using the Main Mounting Bracket

1. Using the main mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill the hole centers on the wall.
   ****| Note: The four feet of the bracket and the arrow mark must be vertical and pointing up, and the flat part of the bracket must be touching the flat surface.
   ---|---
2. Insert the screws into the mounting bracket holes and use the screw-in anchors, if needed.
3. Insert the Ethernet cable into the GE1 port.
4. Insert the access point onto the bracket feet and slide it down to lock it in place.

Option 2: Install the Access Point Using an Optional Wall and Box Bracket

**| Note:** Mounting the access point to a flat ceiling requires the WS- MBI-WALL04 (#30516) bracket, two Phillips pan head wood screws, and two screw- in anchors.
---|---

1. Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket onto a wall or a flat ceiling with two screws and anchors if appropriate, and ensure that the locking tab is on the top side.
   – Use the optional wall and box bracket as a template and mark the holes to be used. For wall mounting procedure, the best practice is to use “A” or “B” hole centers.
   – Mark the hole centers to be used on the attachment surface.
   – Drill the holes and attach the bracket using the screws and anchors provided in the kit.

2. Insert the Ethernet cable into the GE1 port.

3. Insert the access point onto the keyhole posts, slide the access point and lock it into place at about 1/4th inch from the wall.

Install the Access Point on a Suspended or Drop Ceiling

The AP310i/e can be mounted to a suspended or drop ceiling directly by using the main mounting bracket on the T-bar. If there is a ceiling tile protrusion, add the optional T-bar adapter to the main mounting bracket prior to T-bar installation.

Option 1: Install the Access Point Using the Main Mounting Bracket on a Flat T-bar

Pre-installation checklist:

• The minimum T-bar thickness is 0.787 mm (0.031 in.)
• The maximum T-bar base thickness is 1.397 mm (0.055 in.)

1. Remove the ceiling tiles, and then push and rotate the main mounting bracket onto the T-bar in such a way that the main bracket center angled locking tabs get attached to the T-bar (Figure 2).
   

2. Attach the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet cable to the GE1 port.

3. Hold the access point, and rock it back and forth to ensure it is securely mounted.

4. Replace the ceiling tiles in place.

Option 2: Install the Access Point Using an Adapter on the Main Mounting Bracket

**| Note:** If you are mounting the access point to a suspended or drop ceiling with a protrusion, you require an optional adapter (Universal Mounting Kit for WLAN APs; # KT-135628-01). The adapter requires a flat T-bar and fits a ceiling tile with up to a 8.9 mm (0.35 in.) protrusion from the T-bar.
---|---

1. Attach the T-bar adapter by lining up the small bends on the adapter with the long raised parts on the main bracket. Pull up the locking pin on the adapter, and twist it.
   After lining up the adapter, untwist the locking pin and make sure the locking pin goes into the locking pin hole on the main bracket and locks in place.
   

2. Attach the Ethernet cable to the GE port.

3. Hold the access point, and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted.

4. Slide the T-bar holder onto the T-bar, fasten the locking pin, and replace the tiles to hold the adapter onto the T-bar.

The optional WS-MBI-DCMTR01 (#30518) adapter can be used for T-bar installations without the main mounting bracket.
For detailed instructions, see the ExtremeWireless Access Points AP310i/e Installation Guide.

Install the Access Point on a Junction Box or Gang Box

Use the WS-MBI-WALL04 (#30516) to mount the access point on a junction box or gang box.

1. Remove the screws from the box.
2. Line up the bracket holes with the hole on the box.
   If the holes do not align, drill new holes.| 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. The two bracket holes that are being used must be on the opposite side of large center bracket hole.
   ---|---
   | Note: If the holes that you need to use are not near the corners of the bracket, break off the corner to decrease the visibility of the bracket after the access point is installed. mknj
   ---|---
3. Using the aligned holes, attach the bracket to the box using the screws removed from the box earlier.
   | Caution: Overtightening the screws will cause the bracket to bend. If the bracket bends, you will not be able to slide the access point onto the keyhole posts.
   ---|---
4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the access point.
5. Align the keyhole slots and posts, and then slide the access point onto the bracket until you hear it lock in place.

Install the Access Point on a Beam

Pre-installation checklist:

• The beam must be able to support the access point in all environmental conditions.
• The beam must be flat.

Before attaching the access point onto a beam, verify that:

• Beam attachment area is at least 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) wide and as long as the largest dimension of the access point.
• Beam mounting surface is less than 16.50 mm (0.65 in.) thick.

To attach an access point to a beam, attach a beam clip (BRKT-000147A-01) to the mounting bracket:

1. Attach the adapter to the mounting bracket by using a twisting motion.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the access point.
3. Place the adapter on a beam in such a way that there is enough space between the screw and clamp to be tightened.
4. Use the screw and clamp on the top of the adapter to secure the access point in place on the beam.
5. Insert the Ethernet plug into the access point.

Connect a Power Supply

If you need to power the AP310i/e access point with an external 12V DC power supply, you can plug the power cord into the power connector on the back of the access point. There is no wall mount for the 12V DC power supply. The power LED on the front face of the access point is lit when the power supply is connected. For information about optional power supplies, refer to the ExtremeWireless Access Points AP310i/e Installation Guide.
