AP510e Features on page 10
AP510e LEDs Status on page 13
The AP510e is a next generation, indoor ceiling mount model enterprise class 802.11ax
access point (AP). The “e” in AP510e indicates that it comes with external antennas. The
AP features dual-band radio, eight RP-SMA WiFi ports, one Bluetooth port, and one
internal Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) antenna. The Bluetooth port can be used for a
remote antenna in place of the internal antenna. The AP has an extended operating
temperature range.
The AP510e can be mounted on a dry or wood wall, solid at ceiling, junction/gang box,
and on a suspended or drop ceiling.
Note
The AP510e requires a minimum base rmware of WiNG 7.1.1.

Mount the AP on a Dry or Wood Wall/Solid Flat Ceiling
About This Task
The access point is installed on drywall or wood wall or to a solid at ceiling using:
•#37201, stainless-steel main mounting bracket that ships with the unit
•#30516, WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket, two Phillips pan-head screws, and screw-in
anchors
Note
The WALL04 bracket, screws, and screw-in anchors are used for drywall
mounting. For wood wall mounting, only the WALL04 bracket and screws
are used.
•#37201, stainless-steel main mounting bracket with #37210, at metal easy-attach
adapter
•Phillips pan head screws
Tip
The best practice is to install the access point using the mounting brackets.

Mount the access point to a wall using the Main Mounting Bracket
About This Task
The stainless-steel main mounting bracket (#37201) ships with the access point and can
be used to mount the access point onto a wall. This is the recommended method of
installation for a wall mounting procedure.
Procedure
1. Using the main mounting bracket as a template, mark the hole centers on the wall.
Note
The four feet of the bracket and the direction of the arrow mark on the
bracket must be pointing up. The at part of the bracket must be touching
the surface it is being attached to.
Figure 5: Main mounting bracket direction with hole centers
2. Drill two holes 83 mm (3.270") apart from each other on the wall where you want to
mount the access point.
