Pre-Installation
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing AP, be sure that you have the following items:
• 4- or 8-conductor, CAT5 or better UTP cable of required length.
• One of the following power sources:
IEEE 802.3at compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source
(The PoE source can be any power source equipment (PSE)
controller or mid-span PSE device).
AC-DC adapter (sold separately)，output voltage DC 48V,
output current > 0.4A
• A terminal or a notebook
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the OmniAccess Stellar AP on a ceiling rail (using the
shipped bracket in the box) or on a wall (using the wall mount adapter,
sold separately). You should first determine the location of the
installation. The installation position is located at the center of the
required coverage area and should be free from obstructions or
obvious sources of interference.
• Minimize the number of obstructions (such as walls) between the AP
and user terminals.
• Electronic equipment or devices (such as microwave ovens) which
may produce radio frequency noise should be away from the
installation position of the AP.
It is strictly prohibited to install around stagnant water, water seepage,
leakage or condensation. Avoid cable condensation or water seepage
along the cables connecting to t h e A P.
Temperature and Humidity requirement
• Operating temperature: 32ºF to 113ºF(0ºC to 45ºC )
• Storage temperature: -40ºF to 158ºF(-40ºC to 70ºC)
• Relative Humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing
AP Installation
Using Ceiling Mounting Bracket
Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when
hanging the device from the ceiling, poor installation could cause
it to fall onto people or equipment.
The OmniAccess Stellar AP has been shipped with two mounting brackets
for 9/16” and 15/16” ceiling rails. Following is the general sequence to
install the AP with the mounting bracket.
• Pull the cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near
where the AP will be placed.
• Place the bracket against the back of the AP, insert by aligning the
slot on the backside with the hanging feet on both sides of the
bracket (see Figure 4).
• Push the bracket along the direction of the arrow until it locks in
the slot (see Figure 4).
• Connect the cable to the port on the AP.
• Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail
mounting slots at approximately a 20-degree angle to the ceiling
tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the
ceiling tile.
• Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the
device clicks into place on the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5).

Connect Ethernet
Use the Ethernet port to connect the AP with a twisted pair Ethernet LAN
segment. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP cable. The port is an
RJ-45 female connector with the pinouts shown in Ta b l e 2.

Connect Power Sources
Confirm that you have an IEEE 802.3at compliant Power over Ethernet
(PoE) source on the Ethernet cable, if not, connect by using the ALE 48V
AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) to the DC Power Socket and AC power
jack.
If both PoE and DC power are available, the use of DC is preferred.
OmniAccess Stellar AP supports the power adapter provided by
ALE ONLY.
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The LED on the AP can be used at this point to verify that the AP is
receiving power and initializing successfully (see Table 3).
