The AP410C is a high-performance 802.11ax dual-5G. dual band access point designed for indoor high-density environments. This device supports
IEEE 802.11ax Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multi-user access.
For regulatory and compliance information, see "Regulatory Compliance Statements".
Important! Change the Country Code
If youraccess point is configured for the World Regulatory Domain, it is important to set the country code to the country in which the APwill be
deployed to meet regulatory requirements and for optimal wireless operation. To do this, follow these steps:
The country code selection is for World models only and is not available to FCC, CAN, and other country-specific models. Per FCC reg-
ulations, all Wi-Fi products marketed in the United States must be set to U.S. channels only.
1. Power on the AP and allow it to find and connect to ExtremeCloudIQ. Once the APis connected it appears in the table of devices on the
Manage > Devices page.
2. Select the check box next to the AP, and then choose Assign Country Code from the Actions drop-down list. In the dialog box, select the
appropriate country from the drop-down list, and then click Save.
3. Upload your changes to the device.

This icon indicates a general caution. Failure to comply with a caution notification can result in damage to equipment.
This icon indicates an electrical caution. Failure to comply with an electrical notification can result in serious injury or
death, and extensive damage to equipment.
This icon indicates a laser caution. Failure to comply with a laser caution can result in serious injury.
The following table lists the safety precautions you should follow when installing your AP410C devices.
Extreme Networks devices must be installed by a professional installer who is certified to install these types of devices
and to ensure that they are properly grounded and meet applicable local and national electrical codes.
These devices are intended for indoor use only.
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed the recom-
mended ranges.
Warning: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case
the user may be required to take adequate measures.
For products available in the USA/Canada market, for the 2.4 GHz band, only channels 1-11 can be operated. Selec-
tion of other channels is not possible.
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Use only attachments and accessories specified by Extreme Networks.
These devices are not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental cap-
abilities, or with lack of experience of knowledge unless they are given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
devices by a person who is responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the devices.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when elec-
tronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-pre-
vention procedures when handling electronic components and equipment.
During operation, the surfaces of the AP410C can become hot. Use caution when handling.
To meet federal radiation exposure requirements, these devices should be installed at a minimum distance of 8" (20 cm)
from people or animals.
Install the AP
Youcan mount the AP410C on a flat surface or wall, or on the rails of a standard dropped ceiling grid. There is also an accessory mounting bracket
that allows you to install the device in Armstrong-style dropped ceilings (ordered separately).
The following sections describe how to install your AP410C devices.

Install the APon a Ceiling Track
The AP410C ships with a mounting bracket that lets you easily install it on the rail of a standard dropped ceiling grid. The following illustration
shows how to attach the bracket to the ceiling rail, and then install the APon the bracket.

Once the bracket is secure, install the AP using the following steps:
1. Align the red dot on the bottom of the AP with the reddot on the bracket.
2. Lift the APstraight up and keep the red dots aligned until the bracket is seated in the round depression on the bottom of the device.

3. Rotate the APclockwise until it clicks into place on the bracket.

Mounting brackets are available for these devices that will allow you to install them on non-standard ceiling tracks. The following accessory brack-
ets are available:
lAH-ACC-BKT-AX-IL: Mounting bracket for Interlude ceilings.
lAH-ACC-BKT-AX-SL: Mounting bracket for Silhouette 1/8" and Silhouette 1/4" ceilings.
lAH-ACC-BKT-AX-TB: Mounting bracket for Prelude 15/16" and Suprafine 9/16" ceilings.
lAH-ACC-BKT-AX-WL: Mounting bracket for direct-to-wall installations.

Use the holes in the bracket as atemplate to markthe wall. Drill holes in the wall and attach the bracket to the wall using wall screws and wall
anchors if necessary. Attach the APto the bracket in the same manner as shown in the previous section.
Lock the AP
You can secure the AP using a Kensington®lock in the lock slot on the device, or you can use a security bracket and a crosshead screw or a secur-
ity screw. Security brackets and screws can be ordered separately from Extreme Networks (not available in Brazil).
Extreme Networks recommends a variety of Kensington locks. For more information, contact your sales representative.
Hardware Components
Youcan see the hardware components of the AP410C in the illustration below and read about them in the sections that follow.
Component Descriptions
Status Light
The status light conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet and wireless interface activity, and major alarms. The
AP410C has two status lights on the top of the chassis. At setup, this light cycles through the following sequence:
lSolid White: The power is on and the device is operational..
lSolid Amber: The device is on and is booting..
lBlinking Amber: The device is performing a firmware upgrade.
lDark: The power is off.
Light Sensor LED
The AP410C also has alight sensor on the top ofthe device.
Ethernet Ports
Two RJ45 Ethernet ports (Eth0 and Eth1) automatically negotiate half- and full-duplex connections with the connecting device. Eth0 is
100/1000/2500 BASE-T, and Eth1 is 10/100/1000 BASE-T. These ports are autosensing and adjust to straight-through and crossover standard Cat5
or better Ethernet cables automatically. The APreceives power through an Ethernet connection to the ETH1 port from PSE (power sourcing
equipment) that is compatible with the 802.3at and 802.3at standards.
Micro USB Console Port
Use the Console port to make a serial connection between your management system and the AP. When you connect to the device using the
Console port, the management station from which you connect to the device must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro© (a
free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve HyperTerminal® (provided with Windows® operating systems from XP forward).
The serial connection settings are: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Reset Button
Use the Reset button to reset the device or restore the factory default settings. Insert a paper clip or similar tool into the Reset pinhole and press

the button. To reboot the device, press the button for 5 seconds. To return the configuration to the factory default settings, press it for at least 10
seconds. After releasing the button, the indicator light goes dark, and then glows steady amber while the firmware loads and the system per-
forms a self-test. After the software finishes loading and the AP has connected to ExtremeCloudIQ, the status indicator glows steady white.
To prevent the reset button from resetting the configuration, enter this command:
no reset-button reset-config-enable
When this command is enabled, pressing the button for 5 seconds will still reboot the AP, but pressing it for more than 10 seconds will not reset its
configuration.
Security Slot
The AP410C has a security slot for locking the device.
Extreme Networks recommends a variety of Kensington®locks. For more information, contact your sales representative.
