Overview of the AP3935The AP3935 is designed to extend your Wireless LAN around indoor locations. The AP3935 supports the 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless standards, with full backward compatibility with legacy 802.11a, and 802.11b/g devices. The AP3935 interoperates fully with Wireless LANs, including support for VoWLAN, branch office mode, guest services, RTLS, availability, and mobility features.Operating Temp: 0 - 50C.AP3935 models have the following features:• Radios: 2 radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)•LEDs: 5 (see Figure 3)• Power: PoE 802.3at for full performance; (802.3af for low performance mode) DC power supply (see Table 1).• Antennas:– WS-AP3935i: 8 internal single band antenna assemblies– WS-AP3935e: 8 external RPSMA antenna connectors(external antennas must be ordered separately)• Adjustable mounting brackets for drop ceiling T-bar rail.Figure 1 3935i Access PointFigure 2 3935e Access PointFor detailed installation information about the AP3935, see the ExtremeWireless AP3935 Installation Guide.Note: The AP3935 is available in both an “i” model (with internal antennas) and an “e” model (with external antennas). In this Quick Reference, any reference to AP3935applies to both models.Ta b l e 1 shows ways to power the AP3935.Figure 3 shows the LEDs on the front of the AP3935e. Figure 3 LEDs on AP Front FaceFigure 4 3935e Access Point bottom viewMounting and Connecting the APMounting brackets are included for quick and easy mounting of the AP3935 drop ceilings. The wall bracket as shown in Figure 7 is optional.Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP3935 easily and safely. Mount the AP no more than 2 ft. from a T-bar support.Table 1 Powering the AP3935Power Source DescriptionPower over Ethernet (PoE)Power is provided through two Ethernet ports (LAN port). This is the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and wall installations.External 12V DC power supply (optional)The AP3935 can also be powered by an external DC power supply plugged into an AC source. Plug the supply’s input jack into the DC-In port (Callout 4 in Figure 4). 1Status 4Radio 1 (5 GHz)2LAN 1 (Ethernet 1) 5Radio 2 (2.4 GHz)3LAN 2 (Ethernet 2)1Reset Button 3LAN Ethernet Ports 1 and 22Console Port 4External Power DC 12VElectrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures.Mounting on a Drop Ceiling1 Slide the ceiling mount bracket base into the metal base. The locking tab fits into the groove in the fins. See Figure 5. Figure 5 Attaching Mount Bracket to the Access Point2 Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rails and verify that the Ethernet cable can reach the AP at the mounting point.3 Slightly lift the movable T-bar locking tab to increase the space between the stationary and the slider T-bar sides of the bracket. Then hook the stationary end of the T-bar bracket onto the T-bar, as shown in Figure 6.4 While holding the AP with one hand, reach the other hand over the T-bar and grasp both the stationary and movable sides of the bracket. Push the bracket parts together so they both grasp the T-bar and the locking tab clicks into place.5 While still holding the AP, rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted. Figure 6 Attaching the AP3935 on a drop ceiling T-bar rail6 Make a hole through the ceiling panel closest to the power slot on the AP. Run the Ethernet cable through the hole and into an RJ45 LAN port in the recessed connector bay.7 If necessary, cut the tiles for the cables, attach the cables to the AP, and replace the tiles. Then replace the displaced ceiling panels.Mounting on a Wall/Solid Flat Ceiling1 Determine the spot on the wall to mount the AP (near the ceiling, but in reach of the Ethernet cable and a wall power outlet if you are using external power).2 To mount the AP directly on the wall with two screws, use the provided template and mark the two drill holes on the wall. In drywall, the drill holes should be 6MM to 0.250" in diameter. 3 Drill two holes in the wall to match the center of the two keyhole slots in the back of the AP bracket.4 Screw the anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall, Screw the provided mounting screws into the anchors with the head protruding 1/16” from the anchor.5 Place the back of the AP against the wall with the protruding mounting screw heads fitting through the keyhole slots on the back of the AP. Slide the AP down until the AP rests on the mounting screw heads.6 For added stability and security, use a Kensington lock. When mounting on the ceiling, a Kensington lock and bracket are required.Figure 7 Mounting the AP3935 to a Flat Wall.Connecting a Power Supply to the AP3935To power the AP3935 with optional (30512, WS-PSI12-MR2) external 12V DC power supply, plug the power cord into the power connector (Figure 4) on the back of the AP. There is no wall mount for the 12V DC power supply. When the device is powered on, the power LED on the front face of the AP is lit.LAN/Console ConnectionsThe AP3935 has two LAN (Ethernet) ports and a Console port. Refer to Figure 4 for the location of these ports. During administration and maintenance, the AP must have a power connection through either an Ethernet PoE cable or a DC power supply.External Antennas (WS-AP3935e Only)Install the external antennas intended for area coverage.For more information about the optional installation bracket, the optional power supply, and antenna selection and installation, refer to the ExtremeWireless AP3935 Installation Guide. Note: You can mount the AP using an optional mounting bracket (30513, WS-MBI-WALL03) to a flat ceiling.Note: LAN/Console connectors with shrouds will not fit into the ports. Remove the shroud or use an optional jumper cable.
