The network coverage depends on the location and position of the AP1004WRi.
The installer or user assumes all liabilities unless the installation methods are explicitly
stated in a warranty agreement between Tembo Systems, Inc. and the third-party
installer.

Page | 4
AP1004WRe Installation Guide
• The outer set of mounting holes are 100 mm apart in both the
horizontal and vertical directions and are tapped with a M6 x 1.0 mm
thread pattern to a depth of 10 mm.
Third-party systems must be capable of safely supporting the AP1004WRi Wireless
Access Point.
The exposed screw length (exclusive of mounting bracket thickness and any
washers or locking devices) cannot exceed 10 mm so as to avoid any damage to the
chassis.
Apply a drop of LocTite 243 threadlocker adhesive on each shoulder screw
before inserting into the chassis to prevent loosening, leakage, and corrosion.

Connecting AP 1004WRi
Perform this procedure to connect the AP1004WRi Wireless Access Point to the network.
1. For Access Points powered from a Network Switch with PoE+ capabilities, Attach the two
cables directly to the Eth0 and ETH1 RJ45 receptacle on the back side of the AP1004WRi
Wireless Access Point chassis.
Locate Ethernet Ports Connect Primary Port Connect Secondary Port
2. For Access Points powered from the optional AC/DC Adapter, Attach the Power Connector
first, then attach the Ethernet cables to the Eth0 and ETH1 RJ45 receptacle.
Connect Power Adapter Connect Primary Port Connect Secondary Port
3. Connect the opposite ends of the Ethernet cables to a Ethernet Switch. If using Network
power, Verify the network power source (PSE) is configured to supply PoE+ power (30
Watts/Port) and supports 2-Event Classification, or the AC/DC Adapter is plugged into a AC
Source.
When injectors or mid-span are used, connect the access point to the “Data + Power” port
and the Ethernet Switch to the “Data” port of the injector or midspan.
4. Verify the PoE+ source is providing power and the Ethernet switch port has established link with both
the ports. Note: Eth1 is normally disabled in the access point, so while it will link, no packets will be
transferred unless the access point is configured to support link aggregation.

AP1004WRe Installation Guide
Chapter 3 : Configuring AP1004WRi
This section provides information and procedures required to configure the AP1004WRi Wireless Access
Point.
Logging into BaseCamp
Perform this procedure to log into BaseCamp.
1. Log into BaseCamp URL, https://<AC IP address> using the following credentials:
• Username: [email protected]
• Password: admin
Welcome to BaseCamp page is displayed.
Configuring AP 1004WRi
Perform this procedure to configure the AP1004WRi Wireless Access Point.
1. Configure the POE+ ports of the L2/L3 switch as access ports with untagged PVID.
The PoE+ source must identify itself as PoE+ capable using the 2-event classification method. For more
information on configuring the AP1004WRi Wireless Access Points that are connected to 
POE+ sources that support a discovery protocol, see Configuring AP1004WRi to Work With Discovery
Protocol.
2. Connect the AP1004WRi Access Point to a POE+ source.
Once powered up, the AP1004WRi Access Point requests an IP address from the DHCP server. This 
process may take up to 90 seconds.
3. Verify if the AP1004WRi was assigned an IP address by doing one of the following:
• Review the DHCP logs on the DHCP server
• Log into BaseCamp to review the status in the Access Points page
Along with the IP address, the AP1004WRi receives the IP address of the Access Controller and 
establishes a connection with it.

AP1004WRe Installation Guide
4. The AP1004WRi is manufactured with a generic country code. During the discovery phase of the
AP1004WRi, the Access Controller verifies the country code of the AP1004WRi before allowing it to
join the network.
• If the country code registered in the non-volatile memory of the AP1004WRi and the country code
locked into the Access Controller software match, the AP1004WRi is allowed to join the network.
• If an AP1004WRi is detected with a generic country code, the Access Controller registers the
AP1004WRi by overwriting the generic country code with the locked country code from the 
BaseCamp configuration. After updating the country code, the AP1004WRi is automatically
rebooted allowing it to join the network.
• If the AP1004WRi is set with a different country code, the AP1004WRi is quarantined and not
allowed to join the network.
5. The only mode of operation for the AP1004WRi is Indoor. The BaseCamp GUI restricts reconfigure the
mode of operation.
The transmitters on the radio modules in the AP1004WRi are disabled when the
country code is in generic state, or when the AP1004WRi is quarantined.

Page | 8
AP1004WRe Installation Guide
Configuring AP1004WRi to Work with Discovery Protocol
In some cases, a POE+ Ethernet switch requires a Discovery Protocol such as LLDP and CDP to request
additional power above the 15.4 W PoE PSE limit. In such cases, the POE+ PSE source must be configured
to override the Discovery Protocol and force the PoE+ PSE source to provide at least 22.5 W of PoE+
power.
Perform this procedure to configure the AP to work with Discovery Protocol.
1. In the BaseCamp Access Point menu, set the Passive POE selection to flag the AP1004WRi Wireless
Access Point to ignore the POE+ status.
The AP1004WRi Wireless Access Point automatically reboots when the new Passive POE selection is
saved. All the AP1004WRi hardware resources are available after rebooting the AP1004WRi.
Use extreme caution. This is a manual mode of operation. There is no action taken by
the AP1004WRi, if PoE+ power is interrupted. Even a single port losing PoE+ power
may result in an overload on the port.

Chapter 4 : AP1004WRi Coverage
This section provides information on deployment options for optimal coverage from the AP1004WRi
Wireless Access Point.
AP1004WRi Radiation Pattern
The AP1004WRi has a patented, fully-integrated,
software-adjustable antenna system with the
following characteristics: band-optimized, tightly-
controlled radiation patterns, polarization and pattern
diversity, as well as beam angle and shape
configurability. Band-optimized antennas enable
optimal radiation in the entire 5 GHz spectrum;
polarization and pattern diversity provide enhanced
MIMO and MU-MIMO operation; beam angle and
shape configurability enable direct energy to various
spatial sectors for radio coverage zone control and
interference management. These unique features
provide system designers and integrators unparalleled
flexibility in various deployment venues, maximizing
network capacity with fewer AP’s and faster install
times
The 1004WRi leverages the combined power of four radios,
one 2.4 GHz (3x3:3) and three 5 GHz radios (4x4:4) with four
spatial streams per radio, for a total of 15 parallel streams. In
addition, dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports provide up to 5 Gbps of
wired backhaul. The 1004WRi also offers a BLE radio while the
2.4 GHz radio can be fully or partially repurposed for dual-band
intrusion detection and spectrum monitoring. The 1004WRi
features a patented design and system architecture enabling
concurrent quad-radio operation without impacting the
radio’s performance for best-in-class aggregate PHY
throughput of 5 Gbps. In addition, the patented design does
not compromise RF performance and radio coverage, making
the 1004WRi amenable to different deployment venues and
scenarios.
