Mount the AP
a. Mounting on a Wall
1. At the installation location on the wall, use the mounting bracket to
mark four holes for the wall plugs and screws (included in the screw
kit).
Drill four holes for the wall plugs, and then insert the plugs and tap
them flush with the wall surface.
Use the four screws to secure the bracket to the wall.
2. With its ports facing down, place the AP over the bracket flanges
and then slide it down until it snaps into its secured position.
b. Mounting on a Suspended Ceiling T-Bar
1. Slide the bracket accessory onto the base of the AP until it clicks into
its locked position.
2. Use the included security screw to secure the bracket to the AP.
3. Position the ceiling-mount clip holders on either side of the T-bar,
and then turn the AP until the two clips lock it to the T-bar.
Note: Drill 2.5 mm (±0.2 mm) holes for M3 self-tapping
screws, or 4.5 mm (±0.2 mm) holes for nylon wall plugs.

c. Mounting on a Ceiling Without T-Bars
1. At the installation location on the ceiling, use the mounting bracket to
mark four holes for the plugs and screws (included in the screw kit).
Drill four holes for the plugs, and then insert the plugs and tap them
flush with the ceiling surface.

1. Slide the pole-mount bracket onto the base of the AP until it clicks
into its locked position.
2. Feed the two steel-band clamps through the pole-mount bracket
mounting points.
3. Fasten the steel-band clamps around the pole to secure the AP to
the pole.
Connect Cables
a. Connect LAN Cables
1. Connect Category 5e or better cable to the Uplink (PoE) 1000BASE-T
RJ-45 port. When connected to a PoE source, the Uplink (PoE) port
connection provides power to the unit.
2. (Optional) Connect a local LAN switch or computer to the LAN
1000BASE-T RJ-45 port.
b. (Optional) Connect AC Power Adapter
1. When not connected to a PoE source, connect the AC power adapter
to the DC power jack on the AP and then plug the adapter into a
nearby AC power source.
Check the System LED
1. When operating normally, the System LED should be on green.
Blinking indicates the device is booting up.
Connect to the Web User Interface
1. Connect a PC directly to the AP’s LAN port.
2. Set the PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the AP LAN port
default IP address. (The PC address must start 192.168.2.x with
subnet mask 255.255.255.0.)
3. Enter the AP’s default IP address of 192.168.2.1 into the web
browser address bar.
4. On first-time log in to the web interface, the Setup Wizard starts and
you must select how the AP will be managed, either using the
ecCLOUD controller, an EWS-Series controller, or in stand-alone
mode.
5. Continue with the Setup Wizard to make other settings:
Cloud-Managed Mode: Select the country of operation.

Note: To connect to the web interface using the Uplink (PoE)
port, the IP address is automatically assigned through DHCP by
default. If a DHCP server is unreachable, the Uplink (PoE) port
reverts to a fallback IP address of 192.168.1.10.

EWS-Series Controller Mode: Complete the CAPWAP setup,
use the default wireless network setting or customize the
network name, then set a password (the default user name is
“admin” with password “admin”), and select the country of
operation.
Stand-Alone Mode: Use the default wireless network setting
or customize the network name, then set a password (the
default user name is “admin” with password “admin”), and
select the country of operation.
6. Click “Done” to finish the setup wizard.
(Optional) QR Code Onboarding
For quick set up and registration of your AP with the ecCLOUD controller,
you can scan the QR code on the AP using a phone.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the AP is powered on and connected to the Internet.
2. Use the camera (iPhone) or a barcode app (Android) on your phone
to scan the AP’s QR code. The QR code is printed on a label next to
the AP’s ports.
3. When a message pops up, tap “yes” to join the Wi-Fi network
(iPhone requires you to go to Settings > Wi-Fi or open the browser
for the message to pop up).
The web browser should open and redirect to the Setup Wizard
page.
4. After setting a new password and the regulatory country, select to
manage the AP using the ecCLOUD controller, an EWS-Series
controller, or to manage the AP in stand-alone mode.
a. Stand-Alone Mode: Use the default wireless network setting
or customize the network name and password. Tap “Done” to
finish the Setup Wizard.
Wait about two minutes for the AP configuration to update, and
then connect to the wireless network name configured in the
setup wizard. The browser is then redirected to the login page
of the AP.
b. EWS-Series Controller Mode: Complete the CAPWAP setup,
then set a password and select the country of operation. Tap
“Done” to finish the setup wizard.
c. Cloud-Managed Mode: Tap “Done” to finish the setup wizard
and the browser is redirected to the ecCLOUD login page.
If you already have an ecCLOUD account, log in and select a
site for the AP. The AP is automatically registered for cloud
management. After you tap “Save,” wait about two minutes for
the cloud controller to configure the AP.
If you do not have an ecCLOUD account, tap “I want to
register” and first set up an account. Create a cloud and site
before confirming the regulatory country. After tapping “Next,”
Note: For more information on the Setup Wizard and AP
configuration, refer to the User Manual.
Note: If the phone cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network, type
the SSID (network name) and password manually. The SSID
name is the AP serial number (for example, EC0123456789),
and the password is the AP MAC address (for example,
903CB3BC1234).
