AP410i/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 ExtremeWireless Access Points
AP410i/e Installation Guide in the Extreme Networks Documentation Support site.
Install the Access Point
Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP410i/e access
points easily and safely.
The AP410i/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 AP410i/e on a junction or 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.
To install the access point on a dry wall or flat surface:
Option 1: Install the Access Point Using the Main Mounting Bracket
1 Using the main mounting bracket as a template, mark 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 AP410i/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 with Flat Ceiling Tiles
Pre-installation checklist:
• The base thickness of the T-bar that supports the ceiling tile is 0.031”.
• The maximum base thickness of the T-bar is 0.055”.
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).

Quantity Item
1 AP410i/e Quick Reference
1 Access point (AP410i or AP410e)
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 AP410i/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 either 9/16” (15 mm) or 15/16” (24 mm).
Figure 2 Attaching the main mounting bracket to a T-bar
2 Replace the tiles to hold the T-bar in place.
3 Hold the access point, and rock it back and forth to ensure it is securely mounted.
4 Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the GE1 port.
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 adapter’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 3 Attaching the adapter to the main bracket
2 Slide the T-bar holder onto the T-bar and replace the tiles to hold the adapter onto the
T-bar.
3 Hold the access point, and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted.
4 Attach the Ethernet cable to the GE port.
The optional WS-MBI-DCMTR01 (#30518) adapter can be used for T-bar installations
without the mounting bracket.
For detailed instructions, see the ExtremeWireless Access Points AP410i/e Installation
Guide.
Install the Access Point on a Junction or Gang Box
Use the Wall and Box Bracket, WS-MBI-WALL04 (#30516) to mount the access point on a
junction or gang box.
1 Remove the screws from the junction/gang box.
2 Line up the bracket holes with the hole on the junction or gang box.
If the holes do not align, drill new holes.
3 Using the aligned holes, attach the bracket to the junction or gang 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 0.5” (12.7 mm) wide and as long as the access point’s
largest dimension.
• Beam mounting surface is less than 0.650” (16.5 mm) thick.
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.
Note: Mounting the access point to a suspended or drop ceiling requires 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 0.35” protrusion
from the T-bar.
Note: When you line up the holes, the bracket locking tab must be pointing up
and the junction or 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 side of large center hole on the bracket.
Note: If the holes that you need to use are not near the corners of the bracket,
break off the corner to decrease bracket’s visibility after the access point is
installed.
Caution: Over tightening 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.
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 AP410i/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 AP410i/e Installation Guide.
