USB USB 2.0 host interface (Type A connector) 1Gigabit Ethernet 1x 10/100/1000BASE-T autosensing (RJ-45) port, Power over Ethernet (PoE) 2.5Gigabit Ethernet 1x 100/1000/2.5GBASE-T autosensing (RJ-45) port, Power over Ethernet (PoE) CONSOLE The console port is an RJ-45 female connector and can be used to connect to a terminal for direct local management. Note: Currently for use by Service & Support only. 48VDC The AP has a single 48V DC power jack socket to support powering through an AC-to-DC power adapter. If PoE is not available, an optional AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to power the AP. Kensington Lock Slot The AP is equipped with a Kensington lock slot for additional security. Table 1: External Interfaces Pre-Installation Checklist Before installing your OmniAccess Stellar AP, be sure that you have the following items:  4- or 8-conductor, CAT5 or better UTP cable of required length.  Power sources: a) For full-function running mode (Tri-Radio,2.4GHz 4x4:4 + 5GHz 4x4:4), the following two kinds of power sources are acceptable 1) IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE source with LLDP protocol supported, 60W, output voltage DC 48V(nominal), or 2) AC/DC adapter (sold separately) ，output voltage DC 48V, output current > 0.75A When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over PoE b) For Power safe mode (Tri-Radio,2.4GHz 2x2:2 + 5GHz 2x2:2, USB disabled), an IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE source is acceptable  A PC 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 the AP. 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).
Figure 4: Attaching the Ceiling Mounting Bracket Figure 5: Mounting the AP 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 Table2. Ethernet Port /RJ45 Female Pin Signal Name Function 1 BI_DA+ Bi-directional pair +A, PoE Negative 2 BI_DA- Bi-directional pair -A, PoE Negative 3 BI_DB+ Bi-directional pair +B, PoE Positive 4 BI_DC+ Bi-directional pair +C, PoE Positive 5 BI_DC- Bi-directional pair -C, PoE Positive 6 BI_DB- Bi-directional pair -B, PoE Positive 7 BI_DD+ Bi-directional pair +D, PoE Negative 8 BI_DD- Bi-directional pair -D, PoE Negative Table 2: Ethernet Port Pinout Connect Power Sources Confirm that the Ethernet cable is loaded either with 48V DC (nominal) 60W/802.3at compliant PoE source (with LLDP protocol) for full-function running mode, or just with 802.3at compliant PoE source for power safe mode. 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).
