AP310i/e Overview
The AP310i/e access points are indoor model 802.11ax access points. The “i” in AP310i
indicates that the access point comes with internal antennas and the “e” indicates that it
comes with external antenna connectors. The access points feature built-in dual-band
radios, two band-locked radios, four WiFi internal or external antennas.
The AP310i/e can be mounted on a flat surface such as a wall, solid flat ceiling, and to a
junction box or gang box, and can be installed on a suspended ceiling or a drop ceiling.

AP310i/e Box Contents
Ensure that the following items are available:
All optional brackets and accessories are sold separately. For detailed installation
instructions about all mounting procedures, refer to the ExtremeMobility Access Points
AP310i/e Installation Guide in the Extreme Networks Documentation Support site.
Install the Access Point
Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP310i/e access
points easily and safely.
The AP310i/e comes with a Mounting Bracket (#37201) that can be used to mount the
access point on a flat T-bar with flat ceiling tiles, flat surfaces, or beams. An adapter and
brackets are available for mounting the access point to non-flat ceiling tiles and T-bars. To
mount the AP310i/e on a junction box or a gang box, use the optional bracket (WS-MBI-
WALL04; #30516).
Install the Access Point on a Wall or a Flat Ceiling
Pre-installation checklist:
• The mounting surface, item, and hardware must be able to support the access point in
all environmental conditions.
• The mounting surface should be flat.
Option 1: Install the Access Point Using the Main Mounting Bracket
1 Using the main mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill the hole centers on the
wall.
2 Insert the screws into the mounting bracket holes and use the screw-in anchors, if
needed.
3 Insert the Ethernet cable into the GE1 port.
4 Insert the access point onto the bracket feet and slide it down to lock it in place.
Option 2: Install the Access Point Using an Optional Wall and Box Bracket
1 Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket onto a wall or a flat ceiling with two screws and
anchors if appropriate, and ensure that the locking tab is on the top side.
– Use the optional wall and box bracket as a template and mark the holes to be
used. For wall mounting procedure, the best practice is to use “A” or “B” hole
centers.
– Mark the hole centers to be used on the attachment surface.
– Drill the holes and attach the bracket using the screws and anchors provided in the
kit.
2 Insert the Ethernet cable into the GE1 port.
3 Insert the access point onto the keyhole posts, slide the access point and lock it into
place at about 1/4th inch from the wall.
Install the Access Point on a Suspended or Drop
Ceiling
The AP310i/e can be mounted to a suspended or drop ceiling directly by using the main
mounting bracket on the T-bar. If there is a ceiling tile protrusion, add the optional T-bar
adapter to the main mounting bracket prior to T-bar installation
.
Option 1: Install the Access Point Using the Main Mounting Bracket on a Flat
T-bar
Pre-installation checklist:
• The minimum T-bar thickness is 0.787 mm (0.031 in.)
• The maximum T-bar base thickness is 1.397 mm (0.055 in.)

Quantity Item
1 AP310i/e Quick Reference
1 Access point (AP310i or AP310e)
1 Mounting bracket for 802.11ax indoor access point
2 Phillips pan head wood screws
2 Screw-in anchors
Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform installation
procedures.
Note: The mounting procedures for installing the access point using the WS-
MBI-DCFLUSH (ordering part #37211) adapter to a T-bar, WS-MBI-DCMTR01
(ordering part #30518) to a T-bar, and using the main mounting bracket
(ordering part #37201) along with a flat metal easy-attach adapter (ordering
part #37210), accessory BRKT-000147A-01 (beam clip), and KT-135628-01 are
covered in the ExtremeWireless Access Points AP310i/e Installation Guide.
Note: The four feet of the bracket and the arrow mark must be vertical and
pointing up, and the flat part of the bracket must be touching the flat surface.
Note: Mounting the access point to a flat ceiling requires the WS-MBI-WALL04
(#30516) bracket, two Phillips pan head wood screws, and two screw-in
anchors.
Note: The T-bar width can be 24.00 mm (0.94 in.)
1 Remove the ceiling tiles, and then push and rotate the main mounting bracket onto
the T-bar in such a way that the main bracket center angled locking tabs get attached
to the T-bar (
Figure 2).
Figure 2 Attaching the main mounting bracket to a T-bar
2 Attach the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet cable to the GE1 port.
3 Hold the access point, and rock it back and forth to ensure it is securely mounted.
4 Replace the ceiling tiles in place.
Option 2: Install the Access Point Using an Adapter on the Main Mounting
Bracket
1 Attach the T-bar adapter by lining up the small bends on the adapter with the long
raised parts on the main bracket. Pull up the locking pin on the adapter, and twist it.
After lining up the adapter, untwist the locking pin and make sure the locking pin goes
into the locking pin hole on the main bracket and locks in place.
Figure 3 Attaching the adapter to the main bracket
2 Attach the Ethernet cable to the GE port.
3 Hold the access point, and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted.
4 Slide the T-bar holder onto the T-bar, fasten the locking pin, and replace the tiles to
hold the adapter onto the T-bar.
The optional WS-MBI-DCMTR01 (#30518) adapter can be used for T-bar installations
without the main mounting bracket.
For detailed instructions, see the ExtremeWireless Access Points AP310i/e Installation
Guide.
Install the Access Point on a Junction Box or Gang
Box
Use the WS-MBI-WALL04 (#30516) to mount the access point on a junction box or gang
box.
1 Remove the screws from the box.
2 Line up the bracket holes with the hole on the box.
If the holes do not align, drill new holes.
3 Using the aligned holes, attach the bracket to the box using the screws removed from
the box earlier.
4 Connect the Ethernet cable to the access point.
5 Align the keyhole slots and posts, and then slide the access point onto the bracket
until you hear it lock in place.
Install the Access Point on a Beam
Pre-installation checklist:
• The beam must be able to support the access point in all environmental conditions.
• The beam must be flat.
Before attaching the access point onto a beam, verify that:
• Beam attachment area is at least 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) wide and as long as the largest
dimension of the access point.
• Beam mounting surface is less than 16.50 mm (0.65 in.) thick.
Note: If you are mounting the access point to a suspended or drop ceiling with
a protrusion, you require an optional adapter (Universal Mounting Kit for WLAN
APs; # KT-135628-01). The adapter requires a flat T-bar and fits a ceiling tile with
up to a 8.9 mm (0.35 in.) protrusion from the T-bar.
Note: When you line up the holes, the bracket locking tab must be pointing up
and the box must be fully covered by the bracket. The two bracket holes that
are being used must be on the opposite side of large center bracket hole.
Note: If the holes that you need to use are not near the corners of the bracket,
break off the corner to decrease the visibility of the bracket after the access
point is installed.
Caution: Overtightening the screws will cause the bracket to bend. If the
bracket bends, you will not be able to slide the access point onto the keyhole
posts.
To attach an access point to a beam, attach a beam clip (BRKT-000147A-01) to the
mounting bracket:
1 Attach the adapter to the mounting bracket by using a twisting motion.
2 Attach the mounting bracket to the access point.
3 Place the adapter on a beam in such a way that there is enough space between the
screw and clamp to be tightened.
4 Use the screw and clamp on the top of the adapter to secure the access point in place
on the beam.
5 Insert the Ethernet plug into the access point.
Connect a Power Supply
If you need to power the AP310i/e access point with an external 12V DC power supply, you
can plug the power cord into the power connector on the back of the access point. There
is no wall mount for the 12V DC power supply. The power LED on the front face of the
access point is lit when the power supply is connected. For information about optional
power supplies, refer to the ExtremeWireless Access Points AP310i/e Installation Guide.
