Installing the ExtremeWireless Indoor 802.11 a/ac+b/g/n AP3915e Access PointOverview of the AP3915eThe AP3915e is an 802.1AC Wave 2 Access Point featuring dual 2x2:2 radios. The all-metal design supports high operating temperatures, external antennas, and flexible mounting options for wall mount, ceiling mount, beam, and T-bar. The AP can be powered by 802.3af/at or by using a 12VDC wall brick power source. The AP3915e model has the following features:• Radios: 2 radios (2.4GHz and 5GHz); 1 IoT/BLE Radio (2.4 GHz)•Console Port: RJ45• One RJ45, 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port (LAN1) with PoE •LEDs: 4 (see Figure 2)•One Reset button • Power: PoE 802.3at; 12VDC power in connector (see Table 1)• Antennas:–Three external antennas (two dual band antennas and one IoT/BLE antenna)– RSPMA mount style antenna connectors • External USB 2.0 port with features to support a locking module•Safety Hangar provision• Temperature:– -20 to +55*C ambient temperature anywhere– -20 to +60*C ambient temperature near sea level•Enclosure: MetalFigure 1 shows the top and side views of the AP3915e. Figure 1 Top and Side Views of AP3915eTable 1 shows ways to power the AP3915e.Table 1 Powering the AP3915e Note: The AP3915e requires a minimum base firmware of 10.41.12.4G/5G Radio Antenna Connector2GE1/PoE3Console RJ45 connector4Reset button5Optional 12V DC power supply6IoT/BLE Radio Antenna Connector7Kensington Lock Slot82.4G/5G Radio Antenna Connector1USB PortPower Source DescriptionPower over Ethernet (PoE)Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (GE1 port) of AP3915e. This is the usual method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations.External 12V DC power supply (optional)The AP3915e 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 5 in Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the LEDs on the front of the AP3915e. Figure 2 LEDs on AP Front FaceBoth the Radio LEDs will be Green when they are ON and the LEDs will not have any lights when they are OFF. Blue LED indicates the IoT status.For detailed installation information about the AP3915e, see the Extreme Networks Wireless AP3915e Installation Guide.Verifying the AP3915e Box ContentsVerify the contents of the box and ensure that the following items are available:Mounting and Connecting the APUse these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP3915e easily and safely. The AP3915e does not come with any bracket for mounting on a solid ceiling or junction/gang box. The optional bracket (WS-MBI-WALL04) is sold separately. You must also purchase the optional adapter if you want to mount the AP on a beam.For more information about installing the optional bracket and the adapter, see the Extreme Networks Wireless AP3915e Installation Guide.For installation videos of the AP, see www.extremenetworks.com/support/Mounting the AP on a Wood Wall/Solid Flat CeilingTo install the AP on a dry wall or flat surface:Option 1: Using the Philips Pan-head wood screws1 Drill two holes 104mm (4.100”) apart from each other on the wall where you want to mount the AP.2 Insert the screws into the holes and use the screw-in anchors if needed.3 Insert the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector into the LAN1/GE1 port. 4 Align the AP against the screw heads and slide it down. Ensure that the AP is secured in place and tightened. If the AP is loose, unmount the AP and decrease the distance between the screw head and the wall. Remount the AP.

The brackets can be mounted in two directions and so, the antennas on the AP can point up or down. Note: Leave 1/8” gap between the screw head and the wall.Option 2: Using an optional Wall and Box bracket1 Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket onto a wall/ceiling with two screws and anchors and ensure that the locking tab is on the top side.2 Use the optional wall and box bracket as a template and mark the holes to be used to mount as “A” or “B” and mark the hole centers on the attachment surface.3 Drill the holes and attach the bracket using the screws and anchors provided in the kit. Figure 4 Attaching the AP to a wall using the WALL04 bracket4 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the back of the AP. 5 Slide the AP onto the keyhole posts in the bracket, push down, and lock it into place.Mounting the AP to a Bracket on a Junction or Gang BoxTo mount the AP to a Bracket on a Junction or Gang box:1 Use the Wall and Box Bracket (WS-MBI-WALL04 (Ordering Part #30516) that needs to be purchased separately).2 Remove the screws from the junction/gang box.3 Line up the bracket holes on the junction/gang box and ensure that they align. If the holes do not align, drill new holes.4 Using the holes aligned together or the new ones drilled, attach the bracket to the junction/gang box using the screws removed from the box earlier.5 Attach the AP to the bracket as shown in Figure 4.Mounting the AP to a Suspended or Drop CeilingTo attach the AP on a Suspended or Drop ceiling, use the Multi T-bar bracket.1 Slide the T-bar ceiling mount bracket base into the back of the access point. The locking tab fits into the grooves in the outside of the AP.2 Gently raise the slider locking tab and open the movable sliding part of the bracket to give the stationary slider more space. 3 Hook the stationary end of the T-bar bracket onto the T-bar.4 Tilt the AP slightly in such a way that the T-bar bracket will hold both sides of the T-bar. 5 Squeeze the bracket parts together until you hear the bracket’s movable part locking tab click into place. 6 Hold the AP and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted.7 Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the LAN1/GE1 port and place the ceiling tile back in place.Mounting the AP to a BeamTo attach an AP to a beam, attach an adaptor to the Multi T-bar bracket.1 Attach the adapter to the multi T-bar bracket by spreading the sliding part of the multi T-bar bracket.2 Insert the adapter in such a way that the T-bar holding clips Squeeze the sliding part of the multi T-bar bracket together to secure the adapter in place.3 Place the adapter on a beam in such a way that there is enough space between the screw and clamp to be tightened.4 Use the screw and clamp on the top of the adapter to secure the AP in place on the beam.Note: Mounting the AP to a flat ceiling/wall requires the WS-MBI-WALL04 (Ordering Part #30516) bracket, which must be purchased separately. Note: If the holes that you need to use are not near the corners of the bracket, break off the corner to decrease bracket’s visibility once the AP is installed.Note: When you line up the holes, the locking tab on the bracket must be pointing up and the junction/gang box must be fully covered by the bracket. The bracket must be square to the rest of the room walls and the two holes that are being used must be on the opposite sides of large center hole on the bracket.5 Insert the Ethernet plug unto the AP.6 Slide the AP onto the multi T-bar bracket.For detailed procedure on Installing the AP, see the Extreme Networks Wireless AP3915e Installation Guide.Connecting a Power Supply to the AP3915eIf you need to power the AP3915e with an external 12V DC power supply, you can plug the power cord into the power connector (callout 5 in Figure 1) on the back of the AP. There is no wall mount bracket for the 12V DC power supply. When the device is powered on, the power LED on the front face of the AP is lit. Refer to the Extreme Networks Wireless AP3915e Installation Guide for information about optional power supplies.LAN/Console ConnectionsThe AP3915e has one GE1 (Ethernet) port and a Console port. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of these ports. During administration and maintenance through the GE1 or Console, the AP must still have a power connection through either an Ethernet PoE cable or a DC power supply.Professional Installation InstructionInstallation personal This product is designed for specific application and needs to be installed by a qualified personal who has RF and related rule knowledge.
