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.

Hardware Installation
AP-7532 Access Point Installation Guide 9
The Access Point Power Supply (Part No. PWRS-14000-54R) is not included with the
Access Point, but it can be ordered separately as an accessory. If the Access Point is
provided both POE power and PWRS-14000-54R power concurrently, the Access Point will
source power from the PWRS-14000-54R supply only. Disconnecting the AC power from
the PWRS-14000-54R causes the Access Point to re-boot before sourcing power from the
POE power injector. If the AP is operating using injector supplied power, the AP will not
automatically reboot if an AC adapter is connected. The Access Point continues to operate
with power supplied from the AC adapter without change to the Access Point operating
configuration. If using AC adapter supplied power and a change to the AP’s operating
configuration is warranted, the Access Point needs to be manually rebooted by the
customer.
A separate Power Injector is required for each AP-7532 Access Point comprising the
network.
The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall
mounted using the power injector’s wall mounting key holes.
CAUTION
The Access Point supports any standards-based compliant power source. However,
using the wrong solution (including a POE system used on a legacy Access Point)
could either limit functionality or severely damage the Access Point and void the
product warranty..

Hardware Installation
AP-7532 Access Point Installation Guide 10
The following guidelines should be adhered to before cabling the Power Injector to an
Ethernet source and an Access Point:
• Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector.
• Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.
• The Power Injector isn’t a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet signal. For
optimal performance, ensure the Power Injector is placed as close as possible to the
data port.
To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and an Access Point:
1 Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (110VAC to 220VAC).
2 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out
connector and the Access Point’s GE1/POE port.
3 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the
Power Injector Data In connector.
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and
Access Point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Injector receives power and is
ready for device connection and operation as soon as AC power is applied. Refer to the
Installation Guide shipped with the Power Injector for a description of the LEDs.
Wall Mount Instructions
A wall mount deployment requires hanging the AP-7532 Access Point with the provided
mounting bracket and two screws. The AP-7532 can be mounted on to any plaster, wood or
cement wall surface using the provided mounting bracket.
