Table 5: AP505i Powering Methods
Power Source Description
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (GE1
port) to the right of the 12V DC port of AP505i,
compliant to be powered by 802.3af and 802.3at. This is
the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and
high wall installations.
External 12V DC power supply (optional; ordering part
#37219 - PWR 12VDC, 3A, 2.1mm x 5.5mm connector)
The AP505i can also be powered by an external DC
power supply plugged into an AC source. Plug the
supply’s input jack into the DC-In port.
Note
If both PoE and 12V DC power supply are available, the AP will use the external power supply
as the power source. If the external power supply is disconnected, the AP GE1 is connected to
PoE immediately without causing the AP to reboot.

ExtremeMobility™ AP505i FCC/WR 19

Mounting the AP on a Dry or Wood Wall/Solid Flat Ceiling
The AP505i can be mounted to a dry/wood wall or a solid flat ceiling using various mounting brackets
listed in this section.
Note
The recommended method of installation is using the Main Mounting Bracket.
Pre-Installation checklist:
•The mounting surface, item, and hardware must be able to support the AP in all environmental
conditions.
•The mounting surface should be flat.
1 #37201, Main mounting bracket that ships with the unit.
2 #30516, WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket, two Philips pan-head screws, and screw-in anchors, which must
be purchased separately.
Note
The WALL04 bracket and screw-in anchors are used only for wall mounting.
3 #37201, Main bracket with #37210, Flat Metal-Easy Attach Adaptor.
4 Philps pan-head screws directly onto the wall (not recommended).
Mounting the AP to a wall using the Main Mounting bracket
The main mounting bracket (#37201) ships with the AP and can be used to mount the AP onto a wall.
This is the recommended method of installation for a wall mounting procedure.
1 Use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the hole centers on the wall.
Note
The four feet of the bracket must be vertical and pointing up and the flat part of the
bracket must be touching the surface it is being attached to.
2 Insert the screws into the holes of the mounting bracket and use the screw-in anchors if needed.
3 Insert the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector into the LAN1 port.
4 Insert the AP onto the bracket’s four feet and slide it to the right to lock it in place.
Mounting the AP to a wall using the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket
Mounting the AP to a flat ceiling requires the WS-MBI-WALL04 (#30516) bracket, two Philips Pan-head
screws, and two screw-in anchors. They must be purchases separately.
