Chapter 1: Product Overview
Chapter 1: Product Overview
Thank you for purchasing the Ubiquiti UniFi AP-Mini. The
UniFi AP-Mini also works with the UniFi AP, AP-LR, and
AP‑Outdoor.
The UniFi AP-Mini includes the UniFi Controller software
that allows you to manage your wireless network using
your Web browser. This User Guide is for use with the UniFi
AP-Mini and version 2.0 or above of the UniFi Controller
software.
The UniFi AP-Mini also includes the necessary hardware
for mounting the unit on a wall or a ceiling. The UniFi
AP‑Mini supports Passive PoE, which works with the
included PoE adapter. If you want to power the UniFi
AP-Mini from an 802.3af compliant switch, Ubiquiti
Networks offers the optional Instant 802.3af Adapter to
instantly transform any PoE device into a fully 48V 802.3af
compliant product. Product details are available on our
website at http://ubnt.com/8023af
Network Topology Requirements
• A DHCP-enabled network (for the wired Access Point to
obtain an IP address as well as for the wireless Access
Points after the deployment).
• Access Point(s) and either an on-site management
station computer running the UniFi Controller software
connected to the same Layer-2 network or located in an
off-site cloud or NOC.

Chapter 2: Installation
Hardware Installation
The UniFi AP-Mini is powered by the included PoE (Power
over Ethernet) adapter. To install the AP, perform the
following steps:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the
UniFi AP-Mini.
Chapter 2: Installation
Mounting the Access Point
The UniFi AP-Mini can be wall mounted or mounted on
a ceiling. Perform the following steps for the appropriate
installation:
Wall-Mount
1. Position the Mounting Bracket at the desired location
on the wall. Orient the mounting plate with the arrow
facing up.
2. Use a pencil to mark the three holes on the wall.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port on the PoE Adapter.
3. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill the holes in the wall.
4. Insert the three screw anchors into the wall.
5. Secure the Mounting Bracket to the wall by inserting
the self tapping screws into the anchors.
Note: If you plan to mount the AP on the ceiling,
perform the ceiling mount installation steps before
connecting the Ethernet cable to the PoE Adapter.
3. Connect the PoE Adapter to your router or switch and
connect the power adapter to a power outlet.

6. Align the two notches on the AP with the notches on
the Mounting Bracket.
UniFi™ AP-Mini User Guide
7. Turn the AP clockwise until it locks into place.
Chapter 2: Installation
6. Secure the Mounting Bracket to the ceiling tile by
feeding the three flathead screws through the ceiling
tile. Support the Mounting Bracket with the washers
and Keps nuts on the top side of the ceiling tile.
8. Rotate the center logo to the desired position.
Ceiling-Mount
7. Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole in the
Mounting Bracket and ceiling tile.
1. Remove the ceiling tile.
2. Position the Mounting Bracket in the center of the
ceiling tile.
3. Use a pencil to mark the three holes on the ceiling tile.
4. Use a 3.5 mm drill bit to drill holes for the flathead
screws.
5. Cut or drill a circle approximately 25 mm in size that
lines up with the large hole of the Mounting Bracket.
This will be used to feed the Ethernet cable through
the tile.
