1Overview
Uplink and Power Connections
The AP7612 (AP-7612-680B30-xx) is a wall-plate 11ac Wave 2 access point (AP) that lets you extend
your wireless LAN and deploy local WiFi while still providing extension for wired clients from the same
Ethernet jack. This fully-featured AP plugs into existing Ethernet cabled wall plates. he AP provides
application visibility and control and policy support over dual integrated radios and a Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE) radio.
AP-7612 comes with a second Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE sourcing capability. The PSE port can
provide (802.3af), which allows you to directly power devices such as IP Phones.
The AP-7612 is designed with five single-band internal antennas for indoor use only.
Additional features:
•Primarily designed to support wall, single and dual-gang box installation.
•Power: 802.3at (PoE+) compliant for full functionality. 802.3af is supported with reduced
functionality.
•Supports the 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless standards, with full backward compatibility with legacy
802.11abg.
•Has two concurrent Wi-Fi radios, one 5GHz 2x2 11ac radio and one 2.4GHz 2x2 11n. One radio can
operate as a Bluetooth Radio.
•Interoperates fully with Wireless LAN, including support for VoWLAN, branch oce mode, guest
services, RTLS, availability, and mobility.
Uplink and Power Connections
The AP-7612 uses as follows:
Table 3: Power Sources
Power Source PoE Power Sourcing on GE2
GE1 PoE 802.3at 15.4 Watts.
GE1 PoE 802.3af Not available.
12V DC Not available.
The AP has two client ports (GE1/POE and GE2), where:
•GE1/POE port is the system connection.
ExtremeWireless™WiNG™ AP-7612 Installation Guide 6

•GE2 port is used for connecting to an IP Phone.
Note
Both GE1 and GE2 ports are not accessible when the AP is mounted on to a bracket.
GE1 acts as the building and system connection. The GE2 port provides optional power and connectivity
to wired devices such as IP Phones.
Caution
Do not take the AP o the bracket if you are not the owner or not trained to perform the task.

Installation Process
ExtremeWireless™WiNG™ AP-7612 Installation Guide 9

Safety Guidelines
This section contains notices that you must adhere to ensure your personal safety and to prevent any
damage to the equipment.
Caution
The unit and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within the same building,
including all -powered network connections as described by Environment A of the IEEE
802.3at standard.
Qualified Personnel
Danger
Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures.
Mounting the Bracket to a Wall
This procedure assumes that you are running a LAN cable through a wall.
Note
You can also mount this AP to a wall and run a LAN cable between the AP and bracket
without creating a hole in the wall.

To mount the bracket to a wall:
Installation Process
ExtremeWireless™WiNG™ AP-7612 Installation Guide 11

1 Using the mounting bracket as a guide, choose a location where it is feasible to place the AP’s
center. The location must allow the LAN cables to come out of the wall within the large rectangular
hole. Place the bracket against the wall. (The captive screw will be used to lock the AP in place.)
Decide which two holes to use to mount the bracket. We recommend using the two holes at the top
and the bottom center of the opening. At a minimum, use two holes on opposite sides of the large
center opening.
2 Mark the two hole centers.
3 For drywall/plasterboard walls, drill two holes using a 1/4” or 6mm diameter drill bit.
4 For drywall/plasterboard walls, screw the plastic anchors into the wall first and then insert the
screws into the anchors.
5 Insert the bracket over the screw heads and slide the bracket. Ensure that both screws get attached
to the bracket.
6 Tighten the screws to secure the bracket in its place. Torque the screw to 9.0 in-lbs.
7Connect the LAN/power to the AP.
8Attach the AP to the mounting bracket.
Connecting the AP to the Network
Connect the building wire LAN 1 wire (either + at or PoE af) to the black RJ-45 connector using short
patch cables. Alternatively, you can connect the pass-through cable to the blue connector (top) on the
back of the AP.
Mounting the AP to the Bracket
After you attach the bracket to a wall or junction/gang box and connect the LAN/power, attach the AP
to the bracket.
1Stu any extra GE1 cable into the wall/box.
2 Keep the bracket at an angle and insert the two tabs at the top of the bracket into the AP.
3 Rotate the AP on the tabs and wait for it to clip to the other side of the bracket. The other side of the
bracket is on the bottom of the AP where the cable enters.
Installation Process
ExtremeWireless™WiNG™ AP-7612 Installation Guide 12

4 Attach and tighten the Security Torx screw to the bottom of the AP so that the AP is attached to the
bracket. Torque the screw to 7 in-lbs.
Note
If you are using the optional 12V DC-IN adapter instead pf PoE on GE1 port, then cfully
insert the friction fit connector into the AP. Plug the AP into an AC receptable.
