Installing the ExtremeWireless Indoor
AP3916ic Access Point
Overview of the AP3916ic
The AP3916ic is an 11ac Wave 2 AP with an integral security
camera that lets you extend your Wireless LAN and provide
simultaneous Wi-Fi service, BLE or 802.15.4 coverage and
security in public spaces, such as classrooms and offices.
This fully featured access point can be mounted on the
ceiling or wall. The integral ONVIF compatible security
camera is connected to an internal wired Ethernet port. The
AP3916ic provides flow based data handling for the
wireless and wired connections.
The AP3916ic model has the following specifications:
• Integrated 2MP camera with resolution up to 1080p, with
manual view adjustment.
• Radios: Two concurrent Wi-Fi radios (2.4 GHz and 5
GHz) and one additional radio that can operate as
Bluetooth or 802.15.4.
• Antennas: Four internal single band Wi-Fi antennas and
one internal antenna for Bluetooth (BLE) or 802.15.4.
•LEDs: 6 (see Figure 2)
• 802.3at (PoE+) compliant for full functionality. Optional
AC adapter.
• Supports the 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless standards,
with full backward compatibility with legacy 802.11abg.
• 10/100/1000 Mbps operation.
• Adjustable mounting bracket (included) for drop-ceiling
T-bar rail.
• Optional mounts can be purchased separately for
junction/gang box, indoor wall and solid ceiling
installation.
• Enabled for ExtremeCloud support.

ExtremeWireless AP3916ic Installation Guide
Software Dependencies
The camera functionality is represented as an attached
client to the AP. The IP address from the camera can be
retrieved from the Client report in the ExtremeWireless user
interface.
A Port/User specific policy can be assigned to the camera
function, such as mapping all camera interactions like video
streaming or management to its own network segment or
VLAN.
The ONVIF compliant camera is discoverable using
standard ONVIF/IP camera methods. ONVIF utilizes
multicast as the means of advertising and inquiring about
device presence. Therefore, the default topology of the role
associated to the camera port must be adjusted to allow for
multicast. We recommend configuring the All Multicast
(0.0.0.0/0) setting for Groups in the ExtremeWireless
topology.
Front View Features
1 The power reset button is recessed and located on the
top of the AP. Use a tool to press the reset button. See
Figure 1.
2 Remove the caps to access the thumbscrews. See
Figure 1.
Note: The AP3916ic requires a minimum base firmware of
10.31.01.
3 The thumbscrews let you adjust and set the tilt angle of
the camera. See Figure 1.
4 The locking pin lets you adjust and set the rotational
position of the camera. See Figure 1.

LEDs are located on the top cover of the AP.
Uplink and Power Connections
The AP uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) or an external
power supply:
The AP has a LAN 1 port that is powered using 802.3at.

Power Source Description
LAN 1 - uplink PoE
port
LAN 1 may be connected using an
802.3at or 802.3af switch port
External 12V DC power
supply (optional)
This AP can also be powered by an
external DC power supply plugged into
an AC source. Plug the supply’s input
jack into the DC-In port (see Figure 2).
Note: LAN connectors with shrouds will not fit into the
ports. Remove the shroud or use an optional jumper cable.

Verifying the AP3916ic Box Contents
Verify the contents of the box as follows:
Mounting and Connecting the AP3916ic
Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and
connecting the AP3916ic easily and safely.
The AP3916ic comes with a bracket for mounting on a
drop-ceiling.
An optional bracket P/N 30516 (WS-MBI-WALL04 wall
mounting bracket) is sold separately. This bracket is used
for mounting the AP on a solid ceiling, indoor wall, or
junction/gang box. For more information about installing
the optional bracket, see the ExtremeWireless AP3916ic
Installation Guide.
Mounting to a Drop Ceiling
1 Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar
rail and verify that the Ethernet cable can reach the AP at
the mounting point.
2 To connect the LAN/Ethernet cable, make a hole through
the ceiling panel closest to the power slot on the AP. Run
the cable through the hole and into the LAN 1 port in the
recessed connector bay. See Figure 2.

Quantity Item
1 AP3916ic Quick Reference
1 ExtremeCloud Quick Start Card
1 WS-AP3916ic AP (includes two M3 security torx
captive screws
1 Adjustable mounting bracket for drop ceiling T-bar
rail.
The following hardware is included:
2 Screw-in plastic wall anchors
2 Pan-head screws for wall mounting
1 Security torx screwdriver/bit
Note: Before mounting the AP3916ic, read the Safety
Guidelines section.
Note: A Kensington lock (or equivalent) is recommended
to secure the AP. Also, the security torx screw is used to
prevent movement of the camera angle.
3 If your LAN does not have PoE, you must also connect to
an AC power source by plugging the external 12V DC
adapter power cord into the power connector on the
back of the AP. See Figure 2. (There is no wall mount for
the 12V DC power supply.) Then plug the other end of
power cord into the AC electrical outlet.
4 Slide the T-bar ceiling mount bracket base into the
access point’s metal base. The locking tab fits into the
groove in the outside center of the back of the AP. See
Figure 3.
5 Slightly lift the movable T-bar locking tab to increase the
space between the stationary and the slider T-bar sides
of the bracket. Then hook the stationary end of the T-bar
bracket onto the T-bar, as shown in Figure 3.
6 While holding the AP with one hand, reach the other
hand over the T-bar and grasp both the stationary and
movable sides of the bracket. Push the bracket parts
together so they both grasp the T-bar and the locking
tab clicks into place.
7 While still holding the AP, rock it back and forth to ensure
that it is securely mounted.
8 (Optional) Attach the Kensington lock and cable (or
equivalent) to secure the AP to the bracket.

Adjusting the Camera
1 To adjust the rotational camera movement, pull and hold
the rotating locking pin outwards while rotating the
camera. Release the locking pin when the camera is
positioned. See Figure 1.
2 To adjust the tilt movement, remove the thumbscrew
caps and loosening the thumbscrews. Then, without
touching the camera face, move the camera to the
desired tilt angle. Tighten the thumbscrews and put the
caps back on. Torque the screws to 7.0 in-lbs. See
Figure 1.
3 Remove the plastic protective cover from the face of the
camera.
