Powering the AP with DC
The T310s can accommodate two sources of power – PoE
(48V) power and 12V DC.
The T310s can draw power from the Ethernet input as a class
3 device, providing a maximum of 12.95W to the system.
Alternately, power can be supplied through a customer-
provided 12V DC power supply (7-20V DC acceptable) that
will connect to a two pin terminal block. The terminal block is
accessible through a water-tight gland on one end of the unit.
The terminal block connection has surge and polarity
protection to protect against inserting the wrong polarity leads
into the terminal block.
NOTE: When both 12V DC and the 48V PoE power are
active, the T310s will prioritize the 12VDC power.
NOTE: If DC cables are individual wires, then a special
cable gland insert is required for IP67 seal.
1. Install the DC power supply as described in the DC power
supply accessory installation guide.
2. Connect the power cord to a DC power source.
3. Verify that the PWR LED is a steady green.
Earth Grounding the AP
CAUTION! Make sure that earth grounding is available and
that it meets local and national electrical codes. For
additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and
lightning arrestors.
NOTE: The color coding of ground wires varies by region.
Before completing this step, check your local wiring
standards for guidance.
Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw/
washer set, connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis
ground point.
CAUTION! The T310s AP includes one 9mm stainless steel
M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and flat washers.
Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer than
9mm. If a screw is longer than 9mm, it can damage the AP
chassis.
FIGURE 12 Connect good earth ground to AP here
Congratulations! You have mounted your T310s access point.
Installing a USB Dongle
To install a USB dongle (such as an IoT radio device such as
BLE, 802.15.4, Z-wave or similar), remove the two 3mm hex
screws, remove the cap, and insert the dongle into the USB
port.
Once installed, replace the cap and the hex screws, and
torque the screws to 7 in-lbs (0.79 N.m).
NOTE: If required, a larger USB dongle cap can be
purchased separately. The maximum dimensions of the
USB dongle that can be inserted (with the large USB
dongle cap, part # 902-0127-000) are 6 cm x 2 cm x 1.1
cm. Max Power: 450mW (SiLabs EM3578 max current
draw at +20 dBm is 80mA over a 3.3V rail).
FIGURE 13 Installing a USB dongle
Troubleshooting
CAUTION! If required, you can reset the AP to its factory
default settings by pressing the reset button located inside
the PoE IN port. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS SO
INSTRUCTED. (Doing this resets the AP IP address to
192.168.0.1.)
NOTE: After a reset, you can access the internal AP web
interface using https://192.168.0.1. Your device must use
any other address from 192.168.0.2 through
192.168.0.254, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The
username is super, and the password is sp-admin. Refer to
the Outdoor Access Point User Guide for information on
configuring and operating the AP. This document is
