Table 1 AP510i powering methods

Power Source| Description
Power over Ethernet (PoE)| Redundant power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet ports (LAN ports, Figure 2, items #4 and #5) of AP510i, compliant to be powered with 802.3af and provide full functionality with 802.3at. This is the preferred method of powering the access point on ceiling and high wall installations.
External 12V DC power supply (optional; ordering part #37219- PWR 12VDC, 3A, 2.5 mm x 5.5 mm connector)| The AP510i can also be powered by an external DC power supply plugged into an AC source. Plug the power supply input jack into the 12V DC (Figure 2, item #2) port.

| Note: PoE is disabled when external power supply is used.

Mount and Connect the Access Point

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

Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP510i easily and safely.
The AP510i comes with a stainless-steel mounting bracket (#37201) that can be used to mount the access point on a flat T-bar with flat ceiling tiles, flat surfaces, and beams. An adapter and brackets are available for mounting the access point to non-flat ceiling tiles and T-bars. To mount the AP510i on a junction or gang box, use the optional bracket (WS-MBI-WALL04; #30516). All additional and optional parts are sold separately.

| 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 AP510i Installation Guide.

Install the Access Point on a Drywall, Wood Wall, or a Solid 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.

To install the access point on a drywall or flat surface:

Option 1: Using the Main Mounting Bracket

1. Use the mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill the hole centers on the wall.
   | Note: The four feet of the bracket and the direction of 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 mounting bracket holes and use the screw-in anchors, if needed.
3. Insert the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector into the LAN1 or GE1 port. 4 Insert the access point onto the bracket’s four feet and slide it down to lock it in place.

Option 2: Using an optional Wall and Box bracket

| Note: Mounting the AP to a flat ceiling requires the WS-MBIWALL04 (#30516) bracket, two Philips Pan-head screws, and two screw-in anchors.
---|---

1. Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket onto a wall or ceiling with two screws and anchors, and ensure that the bracket locking tab is pointing up. • 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 the “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. Connect the LAN cable to the access point.

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

Install the Access Point on a Suspended or Drop Ceiling

The AP510i can be mounted on a suspended or drop ceiling directly using the 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: Using the Main Mounting Bracket to a Flat T-bar Before installation ensure that:

• The base thickness of the T-bar that supports the ceiling tile is 0.031 in.
• The maximum base thickness of the T-bar of the T-bar is 0.055 in.
  | Note: The T-bar width can be either 9/16 in. (15 mm) or 15/16 in. (24 mm).
  ---|---

1. Remove the ceiling tiles, push and rotate the main mounting bracket onto the T-bar in such a way that the center angled locking tabs of the main bracket gets attached to the T-bar (Figure 3).

2. Replace the tiles to hold the T-bar in place. 3 Hold the access point and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely
   mounted.

3. Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the GE1 port.

Option 2: Using an Adapter on the Main Mounting Bracket

| Note: Mounting the AP to a suspended or drop ceiling requires the optional adapter (Universal Mounting Kit for WLAN access points; # KT-135628-01). The adapter requires a flat t-bar and fits a ceiling tile with up to a 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 on the adapter’s locking pin, and twist. Ensure that the locking pin goes into the locking pin hole on the main bracket and locks in place.
   

2. Slide the T-bar holder onto the T-bar and replace the tiles to hold the adapter onto the T-bar.

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

4. Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the GE port.

The optional WS-MBI-DCMTR01 (#30518) adapter can also be used for T-bar installations without the mounting bracket.
For detailed instructions, see the ExtremeWireless AP510i Installation Guide.

Install the Access Point on a Junction Box

To mount the access point to a bracket on a junction box, use the Wall and Box Bracket WS-MBI-WALL04 (#30516).

1. Remove the screws from the junction box.
2. Line up the bracket holes on the junction box and ensure that they align. If the holes do not align, drill new holes.
   | Note: When you line up the holes, the locking tab on the bracket must be pointing up and the junction box must be fully covered by the bracket. The bracket must be square to the rest of the room walls and the two holes that are being used must be on the opposite side of large center hole on the bracket.
   ---|---
   | Note: If the holes that you need to use are not near the corners of the bracket, break off the corner to decrease bracket’s visibility once the access point is installed.
   ---|---
3. Using the holes aligned together or the new ones drilled, attach the bracket to the junction box using the screws removed from the box earlier.
   | Caution: Over tightening the screws will cause the bracket to bend. If the bracket bends, you will not be able to slide the AP onto the keyhole posts.
   ---|---
4. Connect the LAN cable to the access point.
5. Align the keyhole slots and posts and 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 should be flat.

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

• Beam attachment area is at least 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) wide and as long as the access point’s largest dimension.
• Beam mounting surface is less than 0.650 in. (16.5 mm) thick.

To attach an access point to a beam, attach a beam clip (Accessory BRKT000147A-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 to the AP510i

If you need to power the AP510i with an external 12V DC power supply, you can plug the power cord into the power connector on the back of the AP. There is no wall mount for the 12V DC power supply. When the device is powered on, the power LED on the front face of the AP is lit. Refer to the ExtremeWireless AP510i Installation Guide for information about optional power supplies.

LAN and Console Connections

The AP510i has two LAN (Ethernet) ports and a Console port. During administration and maintenance through the LAN or Console, the access point must still have a power connection through either an Ethernet PoE cable or a DC power supply.
