Installation Process Antenn Externe Utiliser uniiquement les antennes approuvees par le fabricant. L'utilisation d'autres antennes peut conduire a un niveau de rayonnement essentiel ou non essentiel depassant les niveaux limites definis par FCC/IC, ce qui est interdit. Procedure d'installation Consulter le manuel d'utilisation. Warning Avertissement: Choisir avec soin la position d'installation et s'assurer que la puissance de sortie ne depasse pas les limites en vigueur.
Installation Process Mounting Bracket/ Accessory Wall Install Ceiling Install Protrusion Ceiling Width(s) Notes #37210 Flat metal easyattach adaptor; Requires #37201 bracket for mounting Yes Yes No 15/16" Wall mount or flush ceiling mount with single width or any solid surface. WS-MBINo DCFLUSH (#37211); Bracket Yes Yes 9/16", 1.5", 15/16" Protruded ceiling mount with varing widths.
Installation Process 1 Remove the ceiling tiles, push and rotate the main mounting bracket onto the T-bar in such a way that the center angled locking tabs of the main bracket gets attached to the T-bar. Figure 4: Attaching the main mounting bracket to a T-bar 2 Hold the AP and rock it back and forth to ensure it is securely mounted. 3 Replace the tiles. 4 Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the LAN1/GE1 port.
Installation Process 1 Attach the T-bar adaptor by lining up the small bends on the adaptor with the long raised parts on the main bracket, pull up on the adaptor’s locking pin, and twist. Make sure the locking pin goes into the locking pin hole on the main bracket and locks in place. Figure 5: Attaching the adapter to the main bracket 2 Slide the T-bar holder onto the T-bar and replace the tiles to hold the adaptor onto the T-bar.
Installation Process 1 Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rail. Figure 6: WS-MBI-DCFLUSH Bracket 2 Open the movable sliding part of the T-bar to give the stationary and slider T-bar more space. Figure 7: Installing the WS-MBI-DCFLUSH bracket 3 Hook the stationary end of the T-bar bracket onto the T-bar 4 Tilt the T-bar up slightly in such a way that you are holding the stationary and movable sides of the bracket.
Installation Process 5 Slide the T-bar ceiling mount bracket base into the back of the access point. The locking tab fits into a groove in the outside of the AP. Figure 8: Attaching the AP3915e unit onto the WS-MBI-DCFLUSH bracket 6 Hold the AP and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted. 7 Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the LAN1/GE1 port and place the ceiling tile back in place.
Installation Process 4 Tilt the T-bar up slightly in such a way that you are holding the stationary and movable sides of the bracket. 4 Squeeze the bracket parts together until you hear the T-bar locking tab click into place. 5 Slide the T-bar ceiling mount bracket base into the back of the access point. The locking tab fits into a groove in the outside of the AP.
Installation Process 3 #37201, Main bracket with #37210, Flat Metal-Easy Attach Adaptor. 4 Philps pan-head screws directly onto the wall (not recommended). Note The recommended method of installation is using the Main Bracket. Pre-installation checklist: • The mounting surface, item, and hardware must be able to support the AP in all environmental conditions. • The mounting surface should be flat.
Installation Process 1 Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket onto a wall/ceiling with two screws and anchors and ensure that the locking tab is on the top side. Figure 10: Mounting the AP using the WS-MBI-WALL04 Bracket • • Use the WS-MBI-WALL04 as a template and mark the holes to be used to mount the AP. It is recommended to use the holes marked "A" or "B". Drill the holes and attach the bracket using the screws and screw-in anchors.
Installation Process Figure 11: Mounting the AP using the WS-MBI-WALL04 Bracket (when bracket corners are broken off) 2 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the AP. 3 Slide the AP onto the keyhole posts in the bracket, push down, and lock it into place. Mounting the AP onto a wall using the Main Bracket and the Flat Metal EasyAttach adaptor The AP can also be mounted onto a wall or solid ceiling by attaching a flat metal easy-attach adaptor to the mian mounting bracket.
Installation Process 1 Attach the flat metal indoor bracket to the main bracket. Keep the bracket to the center of the main bracket, push and rotate it. Figure 12: Attaching the optional Flat Metal Indoor Adaptor to the main mounting bracket 2 Hold the AP to the surface to which it needs to be attached and use the optional bracket’s end holes as a template to mark the attachment holes. 3 Drill two holes on the wall where you want to mount the AP. 4 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the back of the AP.
Installation Process 2 Insert the screws into the holes and use the screw-in anchors if needed. Note Leave 1/8” gap between the screw head and the wall. Figure 13: Mounting the AP directly on a dry/wood wall using the Philips Pan-Head screws 3 Insert the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector into the LAN1/GE1 port. 4 Align the AP against the screw heads and slide it down. Ensure that the AP is secured in place and tightened.
Installation Process 2 Line up the bracket holes on the junction/gang box and ensure that they align. If the holes do not align, drill new holes. Note When you line up the holes, the locking tab on the bracket must be pointing up and the junction/gang box must be fully covered by the bracket. The bracket must be square to the rest of the room walls and the two holes that are being used must be on the opposite sides of large center hole on the bracket.
Installation Process 1 Attach the adapter to the mounting bracket by using a twisting motion. Figure 14: Attaching the beam clip to the main mounting bracket 2 Attach the mounting bracket to the AP. 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 AP in place on the beam.
Installation Process 5 Insert the Ethernet plug into the AP. Connecting the Power Supply You can connect the power supply to the AP using the PoE option or the optional 12V DC power supply. 1 Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (GE1 port) of AP3915e. This is the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations. 2 The AP3915e can also be powered by an external DC power supply. It is plugged into an AC source.
