AP510C and AP510CX Hardware User Guide

Read about and view specifications and compliance information for the AP510C and AP510CX in this topic. Install the AP510C and AP510CX using

this topic.

The AP510C and AP510CX are high-performance dual-5G and dual band access points.

Both are designed for indoor high-density environments that require HD video streaming and large file transfers. The AP510CX has external anten-

nas (sold separately), and an extendedtemperature range for industrial environments. These devices support IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency-

Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user access.

Both access point have a Bluetooth BLE i-beacon for location based services.

For regulatory and compliance information, see "Regulatory Compliance Statements".

Important! Change the Country Code

If your access point is configuredfor the World Regulatory Domain, it is important to set the country code to the country in which the APwill be

deployed to meet regulatory requirements and for optimal wireless operation. To do this, follow these steps:

The country code selection is for World models only and is not available to FCC, CAN, and other country-specific models. Per FCC reg-

ulations, all Wi-Fi products marketed in the United States must be set to U.S. channels only.

1. Power on the AP and allow it to find and connect to ExtremeCloudIQ. Once the APis connected it appears in the table of devices on the

Manage > Devices page.

Select the check box next to the AP, and then choose Assign Country Code from the Actions drop-down list. In the dialog box, select the

appropriate country from the drop-down list, and then click Save.

3. Uploadyour changes to the device.

AP510C and AP510CX Hardware Guide 3 Install the AP on a Ceiling Track The AP510C and AP510CX ship with a mounting bracket that lets you easily install them on the T-rail of a standard dropped ceiling grid. The fol-lowing illustrations show how to install the bracket to the ceiling rail, and then install the AP on the bracket.
PAGE 4
AP510C and AP510CX Hardware Guide 4 Once the bracket is secure, you can install the AP by aligning the red dot on the bracket with the red dot on the bottom of the AP. Keeping the dots aligned, raise the AP up until the bracket fits into the circular depression in the bottom of the AP. When the AP is firmly seated, rotate it clockwise until it clicks in to place. The process is identical for both models.
