Quick Reference Guide

Overview of the AP-8163
The AP-8163 is designed for extending network coverage to
outside areas with the latest 802.11n 3x3:3 Multiple Input Multiple
Output (MIMO) tri-radio design together with rugged outdoor
performance. True perimeter security is provided using either a
dedicated dual band sensor or software mode for both 2.4GHz and
5GHz bands to deliver 24x7 rogue detection and termination.
Verifying the AP-8163 Box Contents
Verify that the box contains the following items:
Antennas must be ordered separately and do not ship with the AP-
8163.
LED Indicators
AP-8163 Access Points have LED activity indicators on the front of
the enclosure. The LEDs provide a status display indicating error
conditions, transmission, and network activity for the 2.4 GHz radio
(green) and the 5 GHz radio (amber). For more information about
LED status, refer to the ExtremeWireless WiNG AP-8163 Installation
Guide.
Mounting and Installation
The following sections detail the installation procedure for
deploying the AP-8163 Access Point. It is recommended that the
mounting bracket kit (KT-147407-01) be used for most
deployments. When a standoff distance is required for a pole
mounted or wall mounted installation, use the extension arm kit
(KT-150173-01).
Installing the AP on a Pole
For poles of up to 3 inches in diameter, attach the pole mount
bracket of the mounting hardware kit at the desired position on the
pole using band clamps up to 3/4 inch width, or a 1/2 inch x 4 inch
wide U-bolt and nuts. For poles greater than 3 inches in diameter,
attach the pole mount bracket using band clamps.
Vertical Pole Mount
For poles up to 3 inches in diameter when using a U-bolt:
1 Thread two 1/2 inch nuts onto the U-bolt.
2 Position the U-bolt on the pole and place the pole mount bracket section
on the U bolt. Adjust the two 1/2 inch inner nuts until the pole mount
bracket section is against the pole and the U-bolt can be secured tightly to
the pole at the desired mounting location.

1 AP-8163 Access Point
The following hardware is included
1 Weatherproof RJ45 plug kit
Warning: Only qualified personnel should perform
installation procedures.
Caution: All device wiring must comply with the National
Electric Code (NEC) or regulations and procedures defined
by the regulatory bodies of the country or region where the
devices are being deployed. All local building and structure
codes must be observed.
Caution: Always mount the AP-8163 with the black gore
vent facing down.
Note: The U-bolt and band clamps are not included in the mounting
bracket kit.
3 Place the angle adapter bracket section on the U-bolt with the open slot
connections on the bottom and align it with the pole mount section. Attach
with two 1/2 inch nuts. Tighten all nuts to 300 inch pounds (lbf-in).
4 Position the Access Point bracket section so the bottom of the section with
the straight (not bevel cut) side is oriented toward the bottom side of the
AP with the gore vent. Using a torque wrench or a ratchet and a 10mm
socket, or an adjustable wrench, attach (but don’t tighten) the Access
Point bracket section to the AP-8163 with the four M6 flange screws.
5 To adjust the position of the Access Point, rotate the Access Point bracket
section (plus or minus 15 degrees) and tilt the angle adapter bracket
section (up to 45 degrees).
6 Tighten all hex flange screws to 60 inch pounds (lbf-in).
Refer to the ExtremeWireless WiNG AP-8163 Installation Guide for
information on pole mounting the AP-8163 with band clamps or
using extension arms.
Installing the AP on a wall
For wall mounted installations, use only the Access Point bracket
section and angle adjust bracket section if required.
1 With the open slot connections facing down, attach the angle adjust
bracket section at the desired mounting location using four #10/32 lag
bolts
.
2 With the Access Point positioned so the gore vent is facing down, insert
the two M6 hex flange screws in the bottom holes on the sides of the
Access Point bracket section into the open slot connections on the bottom
of the angle adapter bracket section. Rotate the Access Point bracket
section upward and align the top holes on the sides with the top holes on
the angle adapter bracket section. Insert two M6 hex flange screws into the
top holes on the angle adapter bracket section.
3 To adjust the position of the Access Point, rotate the Access Point bracket
section (plus or minus 15 degrees) and tilt the angle adapter bracket
section (up to 45 degrees).
4 Use a torque wrench or a ratchet and a 10mm socket, or an adjustable
wrench, to tighten all screws when all adjustments are complete.
5 Tighten all hex flange screws to 60 inch pounds (lbf-in).
Refer to the ExtremeWireless WiNG AP-8163 Installation Guide for
information on wall mounting the AP-8163 using extension arms.
Basic Access Point Configuration
Refer to the ExtremeWireless WiNG AP-8163 Installation Guide to
configure the device and access management functions.
Note: The lag bolts are not included in the mounting bracket kit.
