802.11ac Outdoor Stand-Alone Access Point
ECWO3320, ECWO3324, ECWO4320, ECWO4324, ECWO5320, ECWO5324
The ECWO3320/ECWO3324/ECWO4320/ECWO4324/ECWO5320/ECWO5324 are
single- and dual-band (2.4/5 GHz) access points (APs) that are housed in a
waterproof enclosure for mounting outdoors. The units include a built-in mounting
bracket for attaching to a 1.5 to 6-inch pole and they can be powered through their
Ethernet cable connection from a power injector module that is installed indoors.
The Outdoor Access Stand-Alone Points include these models:
◆ECWO3320 — 2.4 GHz stand-alone AP with internal antennas
◆ECWO3324 — 2.4 GHz stand-alone AP with external antennas
◆ECWO4320 — 5 GHz stand-alone AP with internal antennas
◆ECWO4324 — 5 GHz stand-alone AP with external antennas
◆ECWO5320 — Dual-band stand-alone AP with 5 GHz internal antennas
◆ECWO5324 — Dual-band stand-alone AP with external antennas
Note: For Safety and Regulatory information, refer to the Safety and Regulatory
Information document included with the AP.

Follow the steps in this guide to install the AP in your network.
Caution: The planning and installation of the AP requires professional personnel
that are trained in the installation of radio transmitting equipment. The user is
responsible for compliance with local regulations concerning items such as
antenna power, use of lightning arrestors, grounding, and radio mast or tower
construction. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a professional contractor
knowledgeable in local radio regulations prior to equipment installation.
1. Unpack the AP Unpack the AP and check the package contents.
◆Outdoor Stand-Alone Access Point
ECWO3320, ECWO3324, ECWO4320, ECWO4324, ECWO5320, or ECWO5324
◆Pole-mounting kit — includes two steel-band clamps
◆PoE power injector with power cord — either US, Continental Europe or UK
◆Documentation —Quick Start Guide and Regulatory and Safety Information
2. Mount the AP After planning your installation, mount the unit on a pole, mast, or tower using the
included two steel-band clamps.
Also, for models that require external antennas, install the antennas near the AP
and attach the RF coaxial cables to the appropriate connectors on the AP.
Pole Mounting
Feed the steel-band clamps through the
integrated pole-mount bracket points on
the back of the AP.
Fasten the steel-band clamps around the
pole to secure the AP to the pole.

Note: The number of available 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz external antenna connectors
depends on the specific model.
3. Connect Cables Connect outdoor-rated Ethernet cable to the 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ETH0 (PoE) port on
the unit.
4. Connect Power Install the PoE power injector indoors. Connect the power injector to the Ethernet
cable from the AP, to a port on a local LAN switch, and then to an AC power source.
Caution: The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never mount
the power injector outside with the AP unit.
Attach External Antennas
Remove the front port cover by
pushing the locking tab up and then
sliding the cover off.
Connect external antennas to the
AP’s 5 GHz RP-SMA connectors using
RF coaxial cable provided in the
antenna package.
Connect external antennas to the
AP’s 2.4 GHz RP-SMA connectors
using RF coaxial cable provided in the
antenna package.

Connect outdoor-rated Category 5e
or better cable to the left-side RJ-45
ETH0 (PoE) port.
(Optional) Connect a local LAN
switch or computer to the right-side
ETH1 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port.
Pass the cables through the access
holes at the bottom of the AP.
Replace the port cover on the AP and
push the locking tab down to secure
it in place.

Note : Connecting the Ethernet cable from the AP to the injector module powers
on the unit.
5. Verify AP Operation Verify basic AP operation by checking the system LEDs.
The power LED should be on green, the ETH0 port LED on/blinking green, and the
2.4GHz/5GHz wireless LED on/blinking green (2.4 GHz) or blue (5 GHz).
Connect the Ethernet cable from the AP to
the “POE” port on the power injector.
Connect Ethernet cable from the “LAN” port
on the power injector to a LAN switch.
Connect the power cord to a nearby AC
power source (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz).

6. Connect to the Web
User Interface
The stand-alone APs offer a web-based management interface for the
configuration of all the unit’s features.
You can make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly to the AP’s
ETH1 RJ-45 port. The AP has a default management IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set your PC IP address to be on the same
subnet as the AP (that is, the PC and AP addresses must both start 192.168.2.x).
Log in to the web interface using the default settings:
◆Login Name — root
◆Password — admin123
For more information on stand-alone AP configuration using the web interface,
refer to the Management Guide.
