Installing the ExtremeWireless AP3917i/e Access PointOverview of the AP3917i/eThe AP3917 is an IP67 rated Access Point with 802.11ac dual band 2:2 radios. The AP3917 is easy to install, lightweight, and is available in an internal (AP3917i) and external (AP3917e) antenna model. Each model includes 802.11 radios, an IoT radio, and a GPS radio. The AP3917 model comes in two models: AP3917i and AP3917e. In this document, the functionality, feature, and the procedure applies to both the models when AP3917i/e is used.The AP3917i/e model has the following features:• Radios: 2 radios (2.4GHz and 5GHz); 1 IoT/BLE/802.15.4 Radio (2.4 GHz)•Console Port: RJ45• One RJ45, 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port (GE1) with PoE • One RJ45, 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet Port (GE2)• IP67 Connectors on all ports•LEDs: 4 (see Figure 1)•One Reset button • Power: PoE 802.3af or 802.3at• GPS Receiver (will be supported via a future firmware release)• Antennas:–AP3917i - 5 internal antennas (four band locked antennas and one BLE antenna). The polarization on one antenna of each radio can be configured by the installer. –AP3917e- 5 external antennas (four single band antennas and one BLE antenna)• Temperature: -40 to 70*C ambient temperature • Enclosure: Cast Aluminum base and PC coverFigure 1 indicates AP3917i. In Figure 2, you can see AP3917e.

The AP3917i/e mounting brackets are sold separately. For more information about installing the optional bracket and the adapter, see the ExtremeWireless AP3917i/e Installation Guide.For installation videos of the AP, see www.extremenetworks.com/support/.Mounting the AP3917i/eThe installation of the AP3917i/e should be performed by a professional installer to ensure proper operation and compliance with local safety guidelines.The access point can be mounted to a wall, girder, ceiling, pole or vehicle using the appropriate bracket.Positioning the AP for InstallationMount the AP so that the glands are on the side of the AP closest to the ground, and not above the plastic cover. You must provide a 3-inch drip loop on all cables. Attach the Ground WireUse the M4 ground screw assembly, with the star washer, to attach the ground wire’s ring terminal to the back of the AP. The wire should be as close to the AP bottom as possible. Tighten the screw to a torque of 13.0-13.5 in-lbs.Mounting the AP3917i/e to a Wall1 Using the mounting bracket as a guide, mark the location for the mounting screws. The wall bracket provides eight attachment holes. Use four (one in each corner), Place the bracket and mark the four hole centers.2 Drill four holes into the wall as follows:82.4 G - Antenna 1 and 29Vent10 5G - Antenna 111 BLE/802.15.4 Antenna12 5 G - Antenna 2Power Source DescriptionPower over Ethernet (PoE) Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (GE1 port).Table 2 Contents of the AP3917i/e BoxQuantity Item1AP3917i/e Quick Reference Guide1 Cloud Quick Start CardThe following hardware is included:1 M4 screw assembly with star washer1 Ring terminalElectrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures.Note: Do not remove the dust cap until you need to install the BLE/IoT antennas. Note: Attach the H bracket after attaching the ground wire onto the AP. Once you tighten the torque, tighten the ground screws, and attach the LAN cable. Note: The “H” type Mounting Bracket (WS-MBO-H01) is sold as a separate accessory (ordering part #30519). – for installing the AP on a masonry wall, use a 5/16” diameter bit.– for other materials, use the appropriate drill for the screws being used.3 For masonry installations, drill at least 1/8” (3mm) past the depth of the screw, or bolt, being used, and place four anchor assemblies into the holes.4 Attach the AP to the “H” Bracket:a Use 4 M4 screw assemblies to attach the AP to the “H” bracket on the side that does not have the PEM stand-offs. b Tighten the four screws to a torque of 13.0-13.5 in-lbs. Figure 3 Attaching the “H” Bracket to the AP 5 Secure the anchors to the wall, then secure the bracket to the anchors.6 If using #10 screws, tighten them to a torque of 25 in-lbs. If using ¼” screws, tighten them to 45 in-lbs.Figure 4 AP3917i/AP3917e Wall Mount “H” BracketMounting the AP3917i/e to a Pole1 Determine the diameter of the pole. For other pole diameters, provide your own stainless steel cable clamp. The band must be ½” (12.7mm) wide.2 Attach the AP to the “Pole Mount” bracket using four M4 screws. Tighten the four screws to a torque of 13.0-13.5 in-lbs. Figure 5 Attaching a Pole Bracket to the AP 3 Attach the cable clamp to the pole bracket. Open the cable clamp by turning a flat bladed screwdriver counterclockwise. Then, insert the non-clamp end into the pole bracket through the holes.4 Put the metal band around the pole and insert it into the clamp. Turn the clamp screw clockwise, tightening the band around the pole. Note: The Pole Mounting Bracket (WS-MBO-POLE01) is sold as a separate accessory (ordering part #30520). Pole Diameter Cable Clamp Size<= 2.5” (63.5mm) Use small cable clamp.5” - 7” (178mm) Use large cable clampNote: It is easier to install both clamps before attaching to the pole.Figure 6 AP with Mounting Bracket—Vertical Pole Mounting the AP3917i/e to a Wall/Pole using the WS-MBO-ART01 2 Axis Extension ArmYou can mount the AP3917i/e to a wall or a pole using a 10” extension arm (WS-MBO-ART01, ordering part #30514). For mounting and installation instructions, refer to the ExtremeWireless AP3917i/e Installation Guide. Installing External Antennas1 Professionally install the external antennas intended for area coverage. For information about antenna selection and installation, refer to the External Antenna Site Preparation and Installation Guide. 2 Attach the external antenna cables to the Standard Polarity Type-N connectors on the AP3917i/e.Connecting a Power Source to the AP3917i/eIf you need to power the AP3917i/e, you can do so my using the GE1 port on the AP. The power LED on the front face of the AP illuminates when the device is connected to a power source. Refer to the ExtremeWireless AP3917i/e Installation Guide for information.LAN/Console ConnectionsThe AP3917i/e 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.Professional Installation InstructionInstallation personnel This product is designed for specific application and needs to be installed by a qualified personnel who has RF and related rule knowledge.
