Installing the ExtremeWireless Indoor AP-7612 Access PointOverview of the AP-7612The AP-7612 is a wall plate 11ac Wave 2 AP that lets you extend your Wireless LAN and deploy local WiFi while still providing extension for wired clients from the same Ethernet jack. This fully-featured access point plugs into existing Ethernet cabled wall plates. The AP provides application visibility and control and policy support over dual integrated radios and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio. AP-7612 will also include a second Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE sourcing capability. The PSE port provides PoE (802.3af) which can be used to power devices such as IP Phones. The AP-7612 is designed with five single-band internal antennas for indoor use only.The AP-7612 model has the following specifications:• Primarily designed to support wall, single and dual-gang box installation.• Radios: Two concurrent WiFi radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and one additional radio that can operate as Bluetooth or 802.15.4.• LEDs: 3 (Figure 2)• Power: 802.3at (PoE+) compliant for full functionality. 802.3af is supported with reduced functionality.• The AP-7612 supports the 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless standards, with full backward compatibility with legacy 802.11abg.• The AP-7612 interoperates fully with Wireless LAN, including support for VoWLAN, branch office mode, guest services, RTLS, availability, and mobility.For detailed installation information about the AP-7612, see the ExtremeWireless AP-7612 Installation Guide.Uplink and Power ConnectionsThe AP-7612 uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) as follows:The AP has two client ports (GE1/POE and GE2), where:• GE1/POE port is the system connection.• GE2 port is used for connecting to an IP Phone.The GE2 port let users connect wired clients, such as laptops and printers, to the network only when the AP is taken off the bracket.Note: The AP-7612 requires a minimum base firmware of WiNG 5.9.1.Table 1 Power SourcesInput PoE Power Sourcing on GE2GE1 PoE 802.3at 15.4 Watts.GE1 PoE 802.3af Not available.12V DC Not available.Note: Both the client ports (GE1/POE and GE2) are not accessible when the AP is mounted on to a bracket.Caution: The AP should be taken off the bracket only by the owner or someone who is trained to perform the task professionally.Figure 1 Power ConnectionsVerifying the AP-7612 Box ContentsVerify the contents of the box as listed in the following table:Figure 2 AP-7612 Box ContentsMounting and Connecting the AP-7612Use these instructions as guidelines for mounting and connecting the AP-7612 easily and safely.Attach the AP-7612 to an indoor wall or junction/gang box. The wall plate bracket is included with the AP box contents.Warning: To reduce potential safety issues, only the AC adapter provided with the product, a replacement AC adapter provided by agency, or an AC adapter purchased as an accessory from agency should be used with the product.Table 2 Contents of the AP-7612 BoxQuantity Item1AP-7612 Quick Reference1AP-7612-680B30-xx1 Wall/Junction box/Gang box mounting bracket (includes Security Torx screw)The following hardware is included: 1 100mm twisted pair RJ45 Flat Cable1 Security Torx screw (size 0.45X6)Note: Before mounting the AP-7612, read the Safety Guidelines section.The AP mounting bracket is designed for single and dual-gang box configurations. For wider installations, you can either adapt the existing bracket or opt to wall-mount the AP.Figure 3 Mounting BracketMounting the AP-7612 to a Wall1 Using the mounting bracket (Figure 3) as a guide, choose a location where it is feasible to place the AP’s center. The location must allow the LAN cables to come out of the wall within the large rectangular hole. Place the bracket against the wall. (The captive screw will be used to lock the AP in place.) Decide which two holes to use to mount the bracket. We recommend using the two holes at the top and the bottom center of the opening. At a minimum, use two holes on opposite sides of the large center opening.2 Mark the two hole centers.3 Drill the two holes using the appropriate drill bit size. For drywall/plasterboard walls, drill two holes using a drill bit of 1/4” or 6mm diameter.4 Attach two screws so there is about 1/4” between the screw head and the wall. For drywall/plasterboard walls, insert the anchors into the wall first and then insert the screws into the anchors.5 Insert the bracket over the screw heads and slide the bracket in such a way that both screws get attached to the bracket. 6 Tighten the screws to secure the bracket in its place. Torque the screws to 9.0 in-lbs. 7 Connect the LAN1 (GE1/POE) cable and the LAN2 (GE2) cable (if applicable) from the wall and attach the AP to the mounting bracket, as described below.Mounting to a Junction/Gang Box1 Place the bracket over the junction box with the two tabs inserted into the AP (Figure 3) and keep it oriented toward the top. The flat surface of the bracket should be kept against the wall.Tab le 3Number Description1 AP mounting tabs2 Align two of the bracket holes with two of the box’s holes. The two holes should be on opposite sides of the larger center opening. Use bracket holes that are closest to the center of the bracket. Make sure that the entire box is covered by the bracket.3 Using the two pan head machine screws, attach the bracket to the box using the aligned holes. Torque the screws to 9.0 in-lbs.4 Connect the LAN1 (GE1/POE) cable from the wall and attach the AP to the mounting bracket. Connect the LAN2 (GE2) cable (if applicable) after attaching the AP to the mounting bracket, as described below.Figure 4 Mounting the APConnecting the AP to the NetworkConnect the RJ45 Flat Cable to the GE1/PoE port and pass the cable through the back of the unit. Connect the other end of the cable to the Building LAN outlet.Mounting the AP to the Bracket1 Stuff any extra GE1 cable into the wall/box (Figure 3).2 Keep the bracket at an angle and insert the two tabs at the top of the bracket into the AP (Figure 3).3 Rotate the AP (on the tabs), until it clips to the other side of the bracket at the bottom of the AP (the side where the cable enters).4 Attach and tighten the security screw to the bottom of the AP (as shown in Figure 3) and make sure that the AP is attached to the bracket. Torque the screw to 7.0 in-lbs.Note: If you are using the optional 12 VDC-IN adapter instead of PoE on GE1, then fully insert the friction fit connector into the AP. Plug the AP into an AC receptacle.
