Power Sources
The AP can be powered either with a 48 V DC power adapter or through Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The AP requires Ruijie power adapters (If needed, you can buy them from Ruijie).
To use a PoE device, make sure it supports the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard.

Rated voltage range: 44 V DC to 57 V DC
Rated current: 0.3 A
Cooling Solution
The AP adopts fanless design.
Radiation Pattern
The AP uses internal high-gain antennas, which focus gains in front of the AP. That means signal strength in the front is
stronger, so it is preferable to install the AP towards the area where wireless coverage is most required.
When mount the AP on a wall or ceiling, install the AP towards where you stand to avoid backward coverage. Figure 1-5
and Figure 1-6 show the preferred wall-mount and ceiling-mount orientations of the AP operating in the 2.4 GHz and 5
GHz bands, respectively.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
To prevent device damage and bodily injury, please read carefully the safety recommendations described in
this chapter.
The recommendations do not cover all possible hazardous situations.
Preparing Installation Site
Do not expose the AP to high temperature, dusts, or harmful gases.
Do not install the AP in an inflammable or explosive environment.
Keep the AP away from EMI sources such as large radar stations, radio stations, and substations.
Do not subject the AP to unstable voltage, vibration, and noises.
Keep the AP at least 500 meters away from the seaside and do not face it toward the wind from the sea.
The installation site should be free from water flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation.
The installation site should be selected according to network planning and features of communications equipment,
and considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.

Chapter 3 Installing the Access Point
Before installing the AP, make sure you have carefully read the requirements described in Chapter 2.
Installation Flowchart
Before You Begin
Before you install the AP, verify that:
The installation site meets temperature and humidity requirements.
The installation site is equipped with proper power supply.
Network cables are in place.
The installation site meets all requirements described in Chapter 2.
Proper power adapters or PoE devices are selected for power supply.
The custom AP meets the customers’ requirements.
Precautions
To avoid damages to the AP, observe the following safety precautions:
Do not power the device during installation.
Install the device in a well-ventilated location.
Do not subject the device to high temperatures.

Keep away from high voltage cables.
Install the device indoors.
Do not expose the device in a thunderstorm or strong electric field.
Keep the device clean and dust-free.
Disconnect the device before cleaning it.
Do not wipe the device with a damp cloth.
Do not wash the device with liquid.
Do not open the enclosure when the AP is working.
Fasten the device tightly.
Installing the Host
Follow the steps below the install the unit.
1) Drill four 6 mm holes on the wall at the four corners of a rectangle (91 mm x 65 mm). The depth of the holes must fit
the size of the wall anchors and screws used. Make sure that the wall anchors can be inserted into the holes, leaving
the rim of the anchor outside the wall. As you drive the screws in, the anchors will expand to grip the wall tightly.
Figure 3-1 Hole Drill Pattern
2) Insert the anchors into the holes. The rim of the anchor should be flush with the wall.
3) Drive self-tapping screws through the mounting bracket into the anchors.
Figure 3-2 Fixing the Mounting Bracket

4) Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet RJ45 port on the AP.
5) Align the square feet on the rear of the AP over the mounting holes on the bracket and slide the AP in the arrow
direction until it clicks into place (See Figure 3-4).
Figure 3-3 Square Feet on the Rear of the AP
Figure 3-4 Attaching the AP to the Mounting Bracket

When installing the AP on a vertical surface, orient the mounting bracket with the screw side facing down.
Installing the Padlock
After installing the unit on the bracket, you can secure your AP by locking it to the bracket with a padlock (see Figure 3-5).
Figure 3-5 Securing the AP with a Padlock

Chapter 4 System Debugging
Setting up a Debugging Environment
Use a power adapter or PoE to power the AP.
Powering up the AP
Checking before power-up
Verify that the input voltage matches the specification of the AP.
Checking after power-up (recommended)
After powering up, it is recommended that you check the following to ensure normal operation of the AP.
Check if the Status LED first blinks green and then turns solid after 30 seconds.
Check if the 2.4G LED is green and 5G LED is yellow.
Check if the Ethernet LED lights up or blinks after the Ethernet port of the AP is connected to an Ethernet link. The
Ethernet LED is green when the Ethernet port transmits data at 1000 Mbps; the Ethernet LED is yellow when the Ethernet
port transmits data at 10 or 100 Mbps. The Ethernet LED is solid when the Ethernet port is connected but has no activity;
the Ethernet LED is blinking when the Ethernet port transmits data.

Chapter 5 Monitoring and Maintenance
Monitoring
You can observe the Status LED to monitor the AP in operation. For example, if the Status LED is off or keeps blinking or
turns red, it indicates the AP is faulty. You should check the AP to find out the cause, and power off when necessary.
Remote Maintenance
If the AP operates as a Fat AP, you can login in to the AP remotely for maintenance; If the AP operates as a Fit AP, you
can use AC to centrally manage and maintain the AP.

1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T
The 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T is a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation port that supports auto MDI/MDIX.
Compliant with IEEE 802.3ab, 1000BASE-T requires Category 5e 100-ohm UTP or STP (STP is recommended) with a
maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
1000BASE-T requires all four pairs of wires be connected for data transmission, as shown in Figure A-1.
Figure A-1 1000BASE-T Connection
10BASE-T uses Category 3, 4, 5 100-ohm UTP/STP and 1000BASE-T uses Category 5 100-ohm UTP/STP for
connections. Both support a maximum length of 100 meters. Table A-1 shows100BASE-TX/10BASE-T pin assignments.
