Hardware Installation 1. Connect one end of a RJ45 Ethernet cable to the PoE In (LAN/Uplink) port on the rear of the Access Point. 2. Connect the other end of the RJ45 Ethernet cable to a PoE Ethernet switch or the PoE Out port on the PoE injector. 3. Using another RJ45 Ethernet cable, connect one end to the Ethernet port on the computer, and connect the other end to another port on the PoE Ethernet switch or to the Data In port on the PoE injector. 4. Provide power to the PoE injector/switch. 5.
Mounting the Access Point Using the provided hardware, the Access Point can be attached to a ceiling or wall. To attach the Access Point to a ceiling or wall using the mounting bracket A) Slide the ceiling mount base into the slot of this Access Point. B) Hold the Access Point with one hand to reach the other hand over the T-rail side of the bracket. Then hook the stationary end of the ceiling mount bracket on to the T-rail.
Wall mount the Access Point A) Determine where the Access Point will be placed; mark the location for the two base plate mounting holes on the wall. Use the appropriate drill bit to drill a hole on each mark (1/3” or 8.1mm diameter; 1” or 26mm deep). B) Screw the anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall. C) Screw the included screws into the anchors. D) Slide the wall mount base into the slot of the Access Point.

The EWS375AP has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of above three models. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, the EWS375AP behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/ g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the EWS385AP. 2.
AP Mesh Mode Under the AP Mesh mode, the EWS375AP can be used as the central connection hub for station or clients that support IEEE 802.11 b/g/n network. Under this mode, the EWS385AP can be configured with the same Mesh SSID and security password in order to associate with other EWS385AP, as well as connect with clients under the same SSID and encryption signatures. For example, you would use one band to connect Access Points in range with Mesh mode and the other band to broadcast traffic on the network.
