AP305C and AP305CX using this topic.
The AP305C and AP305CX are high-performance 802.11ax dual-5G. dual band access points.
Both are designed for indoor high-density environments that require HD video streaming and large file transfers. The AP305CX
has external antennas (sold separately), and an extended temperature range for industrial environments. These devices
support IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user access.

Install the AP
You can mount the AP305C and AP305CX on a flat surface or wall, or on the rails of a standard dropped ceiling grid. If you
need to install your device in a non-standard ceiling, such as an Armstrong or Silhouette ceiling, you can order a separate
bracket kit. The bracket kits available for these devices are listed below.
The following sections describe how to install your AP305C and AP305CX devices and connect them to the network.

Install the APon a Ceiling Track
The AP305C and AP305CX have built-in hardware that lets you easily install them on the T-rail of a standard (15"/16") dropped
ceiling grid. For standard ceiling mounts, place the built-in brackets onto the ceiling track and rotate the device until it clicks
into place. The illustration shows an AP305C but the procedure is the same for both models.
You can also install these devices on non-standard ceiling tracks or directly to a wall using accessory brackets. See
"Accessory Brackets for Non-standard Ceiling and Wall Installation"

Hardware Components
The hardware components of the AP305C and AP305CX are identified in the illustration below and described in the sections
that follow.
Component Descriptions
Status Light
Ethernet Port

The ETH0 port is autosensing 10/100/1000G BASE-T/TX Mbps, with IEEE 802.3af- or 802.3at-compliant PoE, and requires Cat5 or
better cable.
Micro USB Console Port
Security Slot
Both devices have a security slot for locking the device.
Extreme Networks recommends a variety of Kensington® locks. For more information, contact your sales representative.
External Antenna Connectors
The AP305CX has four male RP-SMA connectors for attaching dual-band dipole antennas. You can provide your own
antennas, or you can order them from Extreme Networks (AH-ACC-ANT-AX-KT).
The antenna kit contains four articulated 2.4/5 GHz antennas with a 3/5-dBi gain. These antennas are omnidirectional,
providing fairly equal coverage in all directions in a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) pattern. For greater coverage on a
horizontal plane, it is best to orient the antennas vertically. The articulated antennas hinge and swivel so that you can easily
do this, whether the AP is mounted horizontally or vertically.
