THE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF ENTERASYS TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE PROGRAM, IN
CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES PAID TO ENTERASYS BY
YOU FOR THE RIGHTS GRANTED HEREIN.

value to Enterasys, and, accordingly, You hereby agree to maintain complete books, records and accounts showing (i) license
fees due and paid, and (ii) the use, copying and deployment of the Program. You also grant to Enterasys and its authorized

to seek timely injunctive relief to protect Enterasys’ rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all remedies available at
law.
11. ASSIGNMENT. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense this Agreement or any of Your rights or obligations under this
Agreement, except that You may assign this Agreement to any person or entity which acquires substantially all of Your stock
assets. Enterasys may assign this Agreement in its sole discretion. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties, their legal representatives, permitted transferees, successors and assigns as permitted by this Agreement. Any
attempted assignment, transfer or sublicense in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be void and a breach of this
Agreement.
12. WAIVER. A waiver by Enterasys of a breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and
will not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such term or condition. Enterasys’ failure to enforce a term upon
Your breach of such term shall not be construed as a waiver of Your breach or prevent enforcement on any other occasion.
13. SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and that
provision shall be reformed, construed and enforced to the maximum extent permissible. Any such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
14. TERMINATION. Enterasys may terminate this Agreement immediately upon Your breach of any of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Upon any such termination, You shall immediately cease all use of the Program and shall return
to Enterasys the Program and all copies of the Program.

Introduction
This installation guide provides an overview and installation instructions for the Enterasys
Wireless Access Points WS-AP3710 and WS-AP3725.
About the WS-AP3710 and WS-AP3725
The WS-AP3710 and WS-AP3725 access points are a cost-effective solution for extending your
wireless LAN around indoor locations. They interoperate fully with the Enterasys wireless LAN,
including support for Enterasys wireless VoWLAN, branch office mode, availability and mobility
features.
The WS-AP3710 and WS-AP3725 are nearly identical in appearance and have the following
features in common:
• Both operate in 802.11n mode, and also support 802.11a/802.11g and 802.11b standard legacy
devices.
• Both support two MIMO 3x3 (up to three 802.11n spatial streams).
• They provide two single band radios for dual-band, concurrent operation, optimized for
indoor antenna coverage:
– 5GHz (Radio 1) in any of the following modes: IEEE802.11 a/b/g and/or n
– 2.4GHz (Radio 2) in any of the following modes: IEEE802.11 a/b/g and/or n
• They are enclosed in a rectangular, compact case.
• Both come in “i” (internal antenna) and “e” (external antenna) models.
• Both models include a mounting bracket for mounting them to walls and drop ceilings. (For
mounting on drop ceilings, an optional T-bar rail clamp accessory is needed.)
• They provide 40MHz Bandwidth at 2.4/5GHz operation (Channel Bonding).
• They can be powered directly through the LAN using Power over Ethernet (PoE), or by an
external 120/240V AC/DC adaptor.

Common Architectural Features
Console Port
The WS-AP3710 and WS-AP3725 both include a single RJ45 console port (shown in Figure 1-1 on
page 1-3 and Figure 1-5 on page 1-7) for debug purposes. This port enables connection of a console
device to the AP through a serial cable. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a
VT-100 terminal adapter emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
LAN Port
The WS-AP3710 has one 10/100/1000BaseT RJ45 LAN port (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-3) that can be
attached directly to a 10/100/1000BaseT LAN segment. This segment must conform to the IEEE
802.3 or 802.3u specifications. The WS-AP3725 has two such ports, as shown in Figure 1-5 on
page 1-7.
The APs appear as Ethernet nodes and perform a bridging function by moving packets from the
wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.
The LAN ports also support power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3at standard. Refer
to “Installation” on page 2-1, for information on supplying power to the AP network port from a
network device, such as a switch, that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Reset Switch
The WS-AP3710 and WS-AP3725 both provide a Reset Switch to reset or restore factory default
configurations. Use a pen tip or a nail to press the switch button through the hole (located on the
top side of the AP). If you hold down the button for less than 5 seconds, the AP performs a
software interrupt, causing it to drop all connections and reset. If you hold the button down for 5
seconds or more, any configuration changes are removed, and the factory default configuration
restores to the AP.
Kensington Lock Slot
There is a slot for a Kensington lock on the top side of the AP. See Kensington lock documentation
for instructions on use of the lock.
4 (Radio 1 status) On Green Indicates Radio 1 is enabled.
5 (Radio 2 status) On Green Indicates Radio 2 is enabled.

Access Point Installation Procedures
These procedures describe how to attach the AP3710/AP3725 to a drop ceiling (flat or protruded),
how to mount the AP to a wall, and how to mount the AP on an existing AP mount plate or a
junction box.
Mounting the AP3710/AP3725 to a Drop Ceiling
To mount the AP to a drop ceiling, you need the separately orderable T-bar rail mount kit
(WS-MB3700-01). T-bar rail clamps can be used to mount APs on flat or protruded drop ceilings.
To attach the AP3710/AP3725 to a drop ceiling:
1. Attach the first of the two T-bar rail clamps (it doesn’t matter which) to the universal mount
bracket that ships with the access point. Place the clamp against the top of the plate so that its
two screw holes match up to the topmost pair of countersink holes, and screw in the provided
screws from underneath the mounting bracket as shown in Figure 2-1.

2. Attach the second T-bar rail clamp to the bracket with its two screw holes matching up to the
pair of countersink holes at the width needed for the rails you have, as shown Figure 2-1. Turn
the screws into the mount bracket countersink holes from beneath, no more than one or two
turns so the second clamp is attached but loose.
3. Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rails where you intend to mount the
AP. Verify that the Ethernet cable that will connect to the AP can reach the AP at the point
where you plan to mount it.
4. Hold the bracket and clamp assembly in one hand with the two clamps spread and held apart
by a finger, and fit the edges of the clamps over the T-bar rail on both sides of the rail at once.
Release the clamps over the rail and tighten the screws the rest of the way in the countersink
holes.
5. Fit the back of the AP against the mounting bracket with the locking tab aligned with the lock
screw hole, and slide it backward so that the end of the AP is against the locking tab, as shown
in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 Attaching the AP to the Ceiling Mount Assembly
6. Screw the mounting screw into the locking tab and hole to secure the AP in place
(Figure 2-2).
7. Make a hole through the ceiling panel closest to the connector bay on the AP. Then run the
Ethernet cable through the hole and into the LAN port (RJ45 Ethernet port) in the connector
bay.
8. Replace the displaced ceiling panels.

2-4 Installation
Mounting the AP3710/AP3725 to a Wall
Mounting the access point to a wall uses the mounting bracket that ships with the AP. Screws for
attaching the AP to a wall are not supplied with the product, however, because the type and
length of the screws will depend on the wall type and thickness.
Figure 2-3 Wall Mounting Bracket
To attach the AP3710/AP3725 to a wall:
1. Determine the spot on the wall where the AP is to be mounted, preferably high up on the wall
(near the ceiling for maximum radio wave dispersion) but in reach of the Ethernet cable and a
wall power outlet if you are not able to use Power over Ethernet.
2. Place the flat side of the AP wall mounting bracket firmly against the wall surface, with the
locking tab facing out, and at the bottom.
3. Secure the bracket to the wall with three screws (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-5) through the
central wall mounting holes.
1Mounting Bracket, flat side up 4Locking Tab
2Bracket Side Rails 5Locking Screw Hole
3Wall mounting holes 6Junction Box Screw Holes
Note: The recommended orientation for the bracket is mounted on the wall vertically with the
locking tab at the bottom. This means the AP will be mounted with the cable ports at the top. The
bracket may be reversed (with locking tab at the top) so that the cable ports are at the bottom, but
this requires holding the AP in place until the locking screw is firmly screwed in.
Note: Screws for attaching the AP to a wall are not supplied with the product. The type and length
of the screws will depend on the wall type and thickness.

4. Plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port (and plug the power cord into the power port, if
applicable) on the back of the AP before mounting the AP on the bracket.
5. Place the back of the AP against the mounting bracket so that the bracket side rails fit into the
rail slots on the back of the AP and the locking screw hole in the AP aligns with the locking
tab. Slide the AP down until the AP rests on the locking tab, and screw in the locking screw
through the locking tab and locking screw hole. Figure 2-4 shows what the AP would look like
with the mounting bracket in place.
Mounting on a Junction Box, or in Place of an Older AP
You can replace an older AP or mount the AP3710/AP3725 on a junction box.
1. If there is a mounting bracket plate already in place from an older AP model, remove it.
2. Attach the AP mounting bracket where the older mounting bracket was, or directly to a
junction box, with two screws through the bracket junction box screw holes into the

corresponding holes on the junction box (see Figure 2-3 for location of junction box screw
holes).
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port (and plug the power cord into the power port, if
applicable) on the back of the AP before mounting the AP on the bracket.
4. Place the back of the AP against the mounting bracket so that the bracket side rails fit into the
rail slots on the back of the AP and the locking screw hole in the AP aligns with the locking
tab. Slide the AP down until the AP rests on the locking tab, and screw in the locking screw
through the locking tab and locking screw hole. Figure 2-4 on page 2-5 shows what the AP
would look like with the mounting bracket in place.
LAN/Console Connections
The WS-AP3710 has both a LAN and a Console port. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 for the
location of these ports. The WS-AP3725 has two LAN ports and a Console port. Refer to Figure 1-5
on page 1-7 for the location of these ports.
During administration and maintenance through the LAN or Console, the AP must have a power
connection through either an Ethernet PoE cable or a DC power supply.
Power Connections
The AP can be powered in one of the following ways:
• Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN port) on the top of the AP. This is the
preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations.
• Power by external power supply
Where a PoE-capable Ethernet connection is unavailable or impractical, an external 48V DC
power supply (WS-AP3X48-MR) may be ordered separately to power the AP from a standard
AC wall outlet. For more information on the installation process, see Connecting the DC
Power Supply to the AP3710/AP3725 below.
Connecting the DC Power Supply to the AP3710/AP3725
There is no wall mount for the WS-AP3X48-MR 48V DC power supply. To connect the power
supply to the AP for everyday operation, mount the AP and plug in the power supply as
described in Mounting the AP3710/AP3725 to a Wall. If you have taken the AP off its mount for
configuration and maintenance, plug the power cable from the DC power supply into the DC
connector on the top of the AP.
Warning: If the screw is not inserted as described in this step, there is a strong risk the
Enterasys Wireless AP3710/AP3725 will fall from the bracket.
