Hardware User Guide
Read about and view specifications and compliance information for the AP305C and AP305CX on this topic. Install the AP305C and AP305CX using this topic.
The AP305C and AP305CX are high-performance 802.11ax dual-5G. dual-band access
points.
Both are designed for indoor high-density environments that require HD video
streaming and large file transfers. The AP305CX 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.

Install the AP
You can mount the AP305C and AP305CX on a flat surface or wall, or on the
rails of a standard dropped ceiling grid. If you need to install your device
in a non-standard ceiling, such as an Armstrong or Silhouette ceiling, you can
order a separate bracket kit. The bracket kits available for these devices are
listed below. The following sections describe how to install your AP305C and
AP305CX devices and connect them to the network.

Install the AP on a Ceiling Track
The AP305C and AP305CX have built-in hardware that lets you easily install
them on the T-rail of a standard (15″/16″) dropped ceiling grid. For standard
ceiling mounts, place the built-in brackets onto the ceiling track and rotate
the device until it clicks into place. The illustration shows an AP305C but
the procedure is the same for both models.
You can also install these devices on non-standard ceiling tracks or directly
to a wall using accessory brackets. See “ Accessory Brackets for Non-
standard Ceiling and Wall Installation “
Use the two built-in brackets on the bottom of the device to connect it to a standard ceiling track.

Hardware Components
The hardware components of the AP305C and AP305CX are identified in the illustration below and described in the sections that follow.
Component Descriptions
Status Light
Ethernet Port
The ETH0 port is autosensing 10/100/1000G BASE-T/TX Mbps, with IEEE 802.3af-
or 802.3at-compliant PoE, and requires Cat5 or better cable.
Micro USB Console Port
Security Slot
Both devices have a security slot for locking the device.
Extreme Networks recommends a variety of Kensington® locks. For more
information, contact your sales representative.
External Antenna Connectors
The AP305CX has four male RP-SMA connectors for attaching dual-band dipole
antennas. You can provide your own antennas, or you can order them from
Extreme Networks (AH-ACC-ANT-AX-KT).
The antenna kit contains four articulated 2.4/5 GHz antennas with a 3/5-dBi
gain. These antennas are omnidirectional, providing fairly equal coverage in
all directions in a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) pattern. For greater coverage
on a horizontal plane, it is best to orient the antennas vertically. The
articulated antennas hinge and swivel so that you can easily do this, whether
the AP is mounted horizontally or vertically.
