Installation Guide 2 9 Hardware Installation 2.1 Installation Instructions An AP-7532 Access Point mounts either on a wall (with M 3.5 x 0.6 x 23 MM pan head screws and mounting bracket- or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. To prepare for the installation: 1. Match the part number on the purchase order with the part numbers in the packing list and on the case of the Access Point. 2.
AP-7532 Access Point 2.3 Access Point Placement For optimal performance, install the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Install the Access Point in an open area or add Access Points as needed to improve coverage. Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough.
Installation Guide 11 The Access Point Power Supply (Part No. PWRS-14000-54R) is not included with the Access Point and is orderable separately as an accessory. If the Access Point is provided both POE power and PWRS-14000-54R power concurrently, the Access Point will source power from the PWRS-14000-54R supply only. Disconnecting the AC power from the PWRS-14000-54R causes the Access Point to re-boot before sourcing power from the POE power injector.
AP-7532 Access Point The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall mounted using the power injector’s wall mounting key holes. The following guidelines should be adhered to before cabling the Power Injector to an Ethernet source and an Access Point: • • • ! ! Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector. Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.
Installation Guide 13 2.5.1 Wall Mount Procedure - New Installation This section describes a new AP-7532 installation with no previous Access Point existing on the intended wall surface. 1. Place the mounting bracket against the wall. 2. Mark the screw hole locations depending on the intended deployment orientation of the unit. NOTE When pre-drilling a hole the recommended hole size is 4mm (0.16in.). 3. At each point, drill a hole in the wall and attach the mounting bracket. 4.
AP-7532 Access Point For Power Injector installations: a. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the Access Point’s GE1/POE port. b. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Injector Data In connector. c. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and Access Point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
Installation Guide 15 2.6 Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Mount Instructions Ceiling mount requires holding the AP-7532 up against a T-bar of a suspended ceiling grid and twisting the unit on to the T-bar. If deploying the AP-7532 on a sculpted ceiling T-Bar, the Access Point mounting kit (Part No. KT-135628-01) can optionally be used as well. 1. First install the mounting bracket on the T-bar then attach the mounting bracket using the mounting slots on the Access Point.
AP-7532 Access Point 2. Cable the Access Point using either the Power Injector solution (AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR) or the approved AP-7532 power supply (PWRS-14000-54R). For Power Injector installations: a. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Injector Data In connector. b. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the Access Point’s GE1/POE port. c.
Installation Guide 17 8. Rotate the Access Point chassis 45 degrees counter-clockwise. The clips click as they fasten to the T-bar. 9. The Access Point is ready to configure.
AP-7532 Access Point 2.7 LED Indicators The AP-7532 LED activity indicators are located on the front of the housing and are visible through the enclosure.
Installation Guide 19 The LEDs provide a status display indicating error conditions, transmission, and network activity for the 5 GHz 802.11ac (amber) radio and the 2.4 GHz 802.11n (green) radio. Task 5 GHz Activity LED (Amber) 2.
3 AP-7532 Access Point Basic Access Point Configuration Once the AP-7532 is installed and powered on, complete the following steps to get the Access Point up and running and access management functions: 1. The Access Point’s IP address is optimally provided using DHCP or from bottom of the Access Point itself (if available). A zero config IP address can also be derived if DHCP resources are unavailable or the IP address is not listed on the bottom of the unit.
Installation Guide 21 If this is the first time the interface has been accessed, a screen displays prompting for the Access Point’s country code. 6. Select the Country Code specific to this Access Point’s deployment location. Selecting the correct country is central to legal operation.
