Optional: You may also need antennas, terminators, or cables. Refer to www.extremenetworks.com/support for product numbers. Note: Before mounting the AP3965, read the “RF Safety Distance” on page 46. 3.
AP3965 Installation Procedures Installation AP3965 Installation Procedures Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP3965 easily and safely. The installation of the AP3965 should be performed by a professional installer to ensure proper operation and compliance with local safety guidelines. Attach the AP3965 to a surface that can support it and withstand its environment.
Installation AP3965 Installation Procedures Figure 2-1 AP3965 Ground Terminal Location Mounting the AP3965 to a Wall Mount the AP so that the glands are on the side of the AP closest to the ground, and not above the plastic cover. You must provide a 3‐inch drip loop on all cables. For more information, see “Forming a Drip Loop for AP3965e Cables” on page 19. 1. Using the mounting bracket as a guide, mark the location for the mounting screws on a horizontal, flat wall surface. 2.
AP3965 Installation Procedures Figure 2-2 Installation Mounting Bracket Orientation 3. Secure the anchors to the wall, then secure the bracket to the anchors. See Figure 2‐3 on page 10. 4. If using #10 screws, tighten them to a torque of 25 in‐lbs. If using ¼” screws, tighten them to 45 in‐lbs.
Installation AP3965 Installation Procedures Figure 2-3 Mounting the AP3965 to a Wall Note: Use anchors when mounting on cement walls. (Not shown above.) Mounting screws (shown above) are not included. Mounting the AP3965 to a Pole To fit the mounting plate to a pole: 1. Determine the diameter of the pole. Pole Diameter Cable Clamp Size <= 2.5” [63.5mm] Use small cable clamp. 6” - 7” (178mm) Use large cable clamp Note: For other pole diameters, provide your own stainless steel cable clamp.
AP3965 Installation Procedures Figure 2-4 5. Installation Attach Pole Bracket to “H” Bracket Attach the two cable clamp to the pole bracket. Open the cable clamp by turning a flat bladed screwdriver counterclockwise. Then, insert the non‐clamp end into the pole bracket through the holes. Note: It is easier to install both clamps before attaching to the pole.
Installation AP3965 Installation Procedures Figure 2-5 6. Put the metal band around the pole and insert it into the clamp. 7. Turn the clamp screw clockwise, tightening the band around the pole. 8. Secure the pole mount bracket to the AP mounting bracket using four M4 screws. 9. Secure the AP to the pole by tightening the stainless steel tie back strap (see Figure 2‐6).
AP3965 Installation Procedures Installation Attaching Antennas Install the external antennas intended for area coverage. For information about antenna selection and installation, refer to the ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna Site Preparation and Installation Guide. Notes: The total number of required antennas and associated port locations on the AP3965 depends on the coverage area and the type of antennas selected. To attach external antennas to the AP3965: 1.
Installation AP3965 Installation Procedures Figure 2-8 1 Sealing nut RJ45 Cable Gland Adapter Assembly 2 Claw 3 Seal 4 Main body Installing the Cable Gland Adapter Assembly Install the cable gland adapter assembly onto LAN 1 or LAN 2 as follows: 14 1. Insert the RJ45 cable onto the sealing nut. 2. Slide the claw and seal onto the RJ45 cable. 3. Plug the RJ45 cable into the port.
AP3965 Installation Procedures Installation Caution: Do not run the network cable through the cable conduit connector used for connecting the power cables. You must connect the network cable and power cables through separate connectors.
Installation 16 AP3965 Installation Procedures 4. Slide the seal and claw into the main body. 5. Secure the seal nut onto the main body. 6. Tighten the assembly by hand. Tighten the cap to 10 inch pounds.
Weatherproofing the AP3965e Connections Installation Weatherproofing the AP3965e Connections Extreme Networks recommends that all connections between the AP and antennas are weatherproofed using one of the following weatherproof kits (not supplied): • Wireless Weatherproofing Kits: – 3M (WK‐100) – Scotch (WK‐101) Each weatherproofing kit includes 3/4 inch vinyl tape, 2 inch mastic tape, and 2 inch vinyl tape. • Cold Shrink Kits: – 3M Cold Shrink Sealing Kit CXS (CXS‐4).
Installation Weatherproofing the AP3965e Connections Weatherproofing the Antenna The following guidelines should be followed to ensure proper installation: • The weatherproofing tape must be wound tightly over the connectors. • Care should be taken to ensure that no areas around the edges are exposed. Note: Installation instructions are provided with each weatherproofing kit and are included here for reference only. Figure 2‐9 shows how to wrap the antenna mounted directly to the AP3965e.
Configuring AP3965 Channel Settings Installation Forming a Drip Loop for AP3965e Cables Once the cables have been connected to the AP and the connections have been weatherproofed, gather each cable below the AP, and form a drip loop as shown in Figure 2‐10. Note: The drip loop prevents water from entering the AP by channeling water down and away from the connection points. Drip loops are required to ensure proper operation of the AP.
Installation Configuring AP3965 Channel Settings • Determine the Antenna Model • Configure Radio RF Port • Configure Radio Channel • Configure Radio Transmit (Tx) Power Determine the Antenna Model The professional installer needs to determine antenna models and the number of antenna ports for that model. The number of ports can be determined from visual inspection of the antenna or from the antenna model. For information about antenna models, see AP3965e, Table A‐3 on page 30.

Installation Configuring AP3965 Channel Settings 4. When configuring the AP3965e, click Professional Install. The Professional Install dialog displays to configure the external antennas. 5. Modify the Radio Antenna Type as follows: 6. 7. – If attaching quad port antennas, configure all four RF ports with the same antenna type. – If attaching triple port antennas, configure ports 1, 2, and 3 with the same antenna type and configure port 4 (non‐active port) to No Antenna.
Configuring AP3965 Channel Settings Installation 2. Click the Radio 1 tab. 3. Configure the desired Radio Mode, and Channel Width. Figure 2-12 4. AP3965e Radio 1 Properties: Base Settings From the Request a New Channel drop‐down menu, select a channel according to the site channel plan, or request the AP to auto select the channel from the channel list set in the Channel Plan setting.
