AP510i Powering Methods
You can power the AP through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN 1 (5GE) and LAN2 (GE) ports), see AP510i
back ports).
If you need to power the AP510i with an external 12V DC power supply, you can plug the power cord
into the power connector on the back of the AP. There is no wall mount bracket for the 12V DC power
supply. When the device is powered on, the power LED on the front face of the AP is lit.
Table 3: AP510i Powering Methods
Power Source Description
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Redundant power is provided through the RJ45
Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of AP510i. The ports are
compliant to be powered with 802.3af and provide full
functionality with 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, 2.5mm x 5.5mm connector)
The AP510i can also be powered by an external DC
power supply plugged into an AC source. Plug the
supply’s input jack into the 12V DC port.
Note
PoE is disabled when external power supply is used.

Mounting the AP on a Dry or Wood Wall/Solid Flat Ceiling
The access point can be mounted to a dry/wood wall or a solid flat ceiling using:
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.
Installation Process
ExtremeMobility™ AP510i FCC/WR Installation Guide 14

4 Philps pan-head screws directly onto the wall (not recommended).
Mounting 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.
Figure 5: Main mounting bracket
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/GE1 port.
4 Insert the AP onto the bracket’s four feet and slide it down to lock it in place.
Note
The feet of the bracket must be pointing up.
Installation Process
ExtremeMobility™ AP510i FCC/WR Installation Guide 15

Mounting to a Wall using an optional Wall and Box 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 purchased separately.
1 Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket on a wall/ceiling with the two screws and screw-in anchors.
Note
The locking tab on the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket must be on the top side during
installation.
Figure 6: Mounting the AP using the WS-MBI-WALL04 Bracket
•Use the WS-MBI-WALL04 as a template and mark the holes to be used to mount the AP. It is
recommended to use the holes marked "A" or "B".
•Drill the holes and attach the bracket using the screws and screw-in anchors.
Note
When using the "A" or "B" holes, if the holes are not near the corners of the bracket, you
can break o the corner to decrease the bracket's visibility once the AP is installed.
Installation Process
ExtremeMobility™ AP510i FCC/WR Installation Guide 16

Figure 7: Mounting the AP using the WS-MBI-WALL04 Bracket (when bracket
corners are broken o)
2 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the AP.
3 Insert the AP onto the keyhole posts and slide the AP.
4 Lock the AP into place at about 1/4 inch.
Mounting the AP onto a wall using the Main Bracket and the Flat Metal Easy-
Attach Adaptor
The AP can also be mounted onto a wall or solid ceiling by attaching a flat metal easy-attach adaptor to
the mian mounting bracket. The flat metal easy-attach adaptor (#37210) must be purchased separately.
Installation Process
ExtremeMobility™ AP510i FCC/WR Installation Guide 17

1 Attach the flat metal indoor bracket to the main bracket. Keep the bracket to the center of the main
bracket, push and rotate it.
Note
Figure 8: Attaching the optional Flat Metal Indoor Adaptor to the main
mounting bracket
2 Hold the AP to the surface to which it needs to be attached and use the optional bracket’s end holes
as a template to mark the attachment holes.
3 Drill two holes on the wall where you want to mount the AP.
4 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the back of the AP.
Installation Process
ExtremeMobility™ AP510i FCC/WR Installation Guide 18

5 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the back of the AP.
Mounting to a wall using the Philips Pan-head screws
You can mount the access point directly onto a dry/solid wall using the Philips Pan-Head screws. This is
an optional installation method and not the preferred mode of installation.
1 Drill two holes 104 mm (4.100”) apart from each other on the wall where you want to mount the AP.
2 Insert the screws into the holes and use the screw-in anchors if needed.
Note
Leave 1/8” gap between the screw head and the wall.
Figure 9: Mounting the AP directly on a dry/wood wall using the Philips Pan-Head
screws
3 Insert the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector into the LAN1 port.
4 Align the AP against the screw heads and slide it down. Ensure that the AP is secured in place and
tightened. If the AP is loose, unmount the AP and decrease the distance between the screw head
and the wall. Remount the AP.
Installation Process
ExtremeMobility™ AP510i FCC/WR Installation Guide 19

Mounting to a Suspended/Drop Ceiling
The access point can be mounted to a suspended or drop ceiling directly using the main mounting
bracket on the T-bar. If there is a ceiling tile protrusion, add the optional T-bar adaptor to the main
mounting bracket prior to T-bar installation.
The AP can be mounted to a suspended/drop ceiling using:
1 #37201, Main Mounting Bracket to a Flat T-bar.
2 #37201, Main Mounting Bracket with adaptor KT-135628-01 to a Flat T-bar.
3 #37211, WS-MBI-DCFLUSH bracket to a Flat T-bar.
4 #30518, WS-MBI-DCMTR01 bracket to a Flat T-bar.
Mounting the AP using the Main Mounting Bracket to a Flat T-bar
The AP can be mounted on a t-bar using the mian mounting bracket that is shipped with the unit.
•T-bar width must be 15/16” (24mm).
•T-bar bottom must be flat all the way across.
•T-bar minimum base thickness: N/A; must be structurally sound.
•T-bar maximum base thickness: 0.055”.
•Ceiling Tile must be flat all the way across.
