Note
A professional installer must enter the antenna type, gain, and indoor/outdoor
placement using the CLI. The AP software will then use this information and hardcode
maximum limits determined during testing to limit the EIRP. Please note that the
maximum EIRP in band 5.25-5.35GHz will be limited to 23dBm. This limit is hardcoded
in the software for this band.

Hardware Installation
An AP-7532 Access Point mounts either on a wall (with M 3.5 x 0.6 x 23 MM pan head
screws and mounting bracket- or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar.
To prepare for the installation:
1 Match the part number on the purchase order with the part numbers in the packing list
and on the case of the Access Point.
2 Verify the contents of the box include the intended AP-7532 Access Point, and the
included hardware matches the package contents.
3 Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting
position for the AP-7532 Access Point.
4 Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3at or 802.3af power
source and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure there is sufficient slack on the
cable to perform the installation steps.
.
Precautions
Before installing an AP-7532 Access Point, verify the following:
• Your are using the correctly rated power solution for the AP-7532 (either the AP-
PSBIAS-2P3-ATR power injector or the PWRS-14000-54R external power supply)
• Do not to install the AP-7532 in wet or dusty areas.
• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between -4° F to 104° F/
-20° C to 40° C for external antenna Access Points and 32° F to 104° F/0° C to 40° C
for internal antenna Access Points.

Hardware Installation
AP-7532 Access Point Installation Guide 8
Access Point Placement
For optimal performance, install the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty
motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment.
Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Install the
Access Point in an open area or add Access Points as needed to improve coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be
not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas.
Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a light bulb) provides even,
efficient coverage.
Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
To maximize the Access Point’s radio coverage area, recommends conducting a site survey
to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the Access Point.
Power Injector System
An AP-7532 Access Point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/
POE (LAN) port.
When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place Access Points in obscure
locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each Access Point in
addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install
power drops at each Access Point location. The Power Injector merges power and Ethernet
into one cable, reducing the burden of installation and allowing optimal Access Point
placement in respect to the intended coverage area.
The AP-7532’s supported Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR) is a high power
POE Injector delivering up to 30 watts. The Access Point can only use a Power Injector
when connecting the unit to the Access Point’s GE1/POE port. The Power Injector is
separately ordered and not shipped with an existing AP SKU.
CAUTION
Using a non-compliant injector, or an injector supporting legacy modes will not allow
the AP-7532 to function at optimum performance levels.
CAUTION
Do not plug the AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR Power Injector into the Access Point’s Console
port. Connecting the Power Injector into the console port can damage the port and
void the AP-7532’s product warranty.
