Power Source Description
Power over
Ethernet
(PoE)
Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN1
port) to the right of the 12V DC port of AP3915i. This is the
preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high
wall installations.
External 12V
DC power
supply
(optional)
The AP3915i 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 1 in Figure 1).
Figure 2 shows the LEDs on the front of the AP3915i.
Figure 2 LEDs on AP Front Face
Both 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 AP3915i, see the
ExtremeWireless AP3915i Installation Guide.
Verifying the AP3915i Box Contents
Verify the contents of the box and ensure that the following items are
available:
Mounting and Connecting the AP
Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP3915i
easily and safely.
The AP3915i does not come with any bracket for mounting on a solid ceiling or
junction/gang box. The optional bracket (WS-MBI-WALL04; Ordering Part
#30516) 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 ExtremeWireless AP3915i Installation Guide.
For installation videos of the AP, see www.extremenetworks.com/support/
Mounting the AP on a Dry or Wood Wall/Solid Flat
Ceiling
To install the AP on a dry wall or flat surface:
Option 1: Using the Philips Pan-head wood screws
1 Drill two holes exactly 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.

1 Cloud Quick Start Card
The following hardware is included:
2 Phillips Pan-head wood screws
2 Screw-in anchors
Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform
installation procedures.
Warning: The AP must be mounted ONLY horizontally if you mount
it onto a plenum space.
Note: Leave 1/8” gap between the screw head and the wall.
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.

Flat Ceiling
Option 2: Using an optional Wall and Box bracket
1 Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket onto a wall/ceiling with 2 screws and
anchors and ensure that the locking tab is on the bottom side.
Figure 4 Mounting the AP using the optional wall and box
bracket
• 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.
• Drill the holes and attach the bracket using the screws and anchors
provided in the kit.
2 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the AP.
3 Insert the AP onto the keyhole posts and slide the AP and lock it into place
at about 1/4th inch.
Mounting the AP to a Bracket on a Junction or Gang
Box
To 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.
Note: When installing the AP, the LED icons must be on top and the
“E” logo should be inverted and pointing down (as shown in Figure 3).
Note: Mounting the AP to a flat ceiling requires the WS-MBI-
WALL04 (Ordering Part #30516) bracket, which must be purchased
separately.
Note: When using the A or B holes, if the holes are not near the
corners of the bracket, break off the corner to decrease bracket’s
visibility once the AP is installed.
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 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the AP.
6 Align the keyhole slots and posts and slide the AP onto the bracket until
you hear it lock in place.
Mounting the AP to a Suspended or Drop Ceiling
To attach the AP on a Suspended or Drop ceiling, use the Multi T-bar bracket.
1 Open the movable sliding part of the T-bar to give the stationary and slider
T-bar more space.
2 Hook the stationary end of the T-bar bracket onto the T-bar.
3 Squeeze the bracket parts together until you hear the T-bar locking tab
click into place (Figure 5).
4 Hold the AP in place and tilt the T-bar up slightly in such a way that you are
holding the stationary and movable sides of the bracket.
5 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.
Figure 5 AP3915i Mounted on Drop Ceiling T-bar Rail
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.
Connecting a Power Supply to the AP3915i
If you need to power the AP3915i with an external 12V DC power supply, you
can plug the power cord into the power connector (callout 2 in Figure 1) 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. Refer to
the ExtremeWireless AP3915i Installation Guide for information about optional
power supplies.
LAN/Console Connections
The AP3915i has one LAN (Ethernet) port and a Console port. Refer to Figure 1
for the location of these ports. During administration and maintenance
through the LAN or Console, the AP must still have a power connection
through either an Ethernet PoE cable or a DC power supply.
Note: When you line up the holes, the locking tab on the bracket
must be pointing down 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 side of large center hole on the bracket.
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.
Caution: Over tightening the screws will cause the bracket to bend.
If the bracket bends, you will not be able to slide the AP onto the
keyhole posts.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
