AP305C and AP305CX Hardware User Guide

Read about and view specifications and compliance information for the AP305C and AP305CX in this topic.

Install the AP305C and AP305CX using this topic.

The AP305C and AP305CX are high-performance 802.11ax 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 envir-

onments. These devices support IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user

access.

For regulatory and compliance information, see "Regulatory Compliance Statements".

Safety Guidelines

The safety information in this section applies to AP305C and AP305CX devices.

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

This icon indicates a general caution. Failure to comply with a caution notification can res-

ult in damage to equipment.

This icon indicates an electrical caution. Failure to comply with an electrical notification

can result in serious injury or death, and extensive damage to equipment.

This icon indicates a laser caution. Failure to comply with a laser caution can result in ser-

ious injury.

The following table lists the safety precautions you should follow when installing your AP305C and AP305CX

devices.

Extreme Networks devices must be installed by a professional installer who is certified to

install these types of devices and to ensure that they are properly grounded and meet

applicable local and national electrical codes.

These devices are intended for indoor use only.

Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature

might exceed the recommended ranges.

Warning

: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio

interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
