1 Product Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
RG-MAP852-SF-S is a wireless access point (AP) for new-generation high-speed wireless
networks in scenarios with dense buildings, such as the campus dormitory network and
medical care ward network. It adopts the latest 802.11ax protocol and dual-radio
dual-band design. The 2.4 GHz radio frequency (RF) unit provides up to 574 Mbps access
rate, and the 5 GHz RF unit provides up to 1.201 Gbps access rate. The device provides up
to 1.775 Gbps wireless access rate. The ultra-fast wireless network makes performance
no longer a bottleneck.
1.2 Product Appearance
RG-MAP852-SF-S contains two wireless RF ports, one 10/100/1000Base-T adaptive
Ethernet port, one 1G optical port, one Console port, and one DC power supply port for
the external power adapter. Power can be supplied to RG-MAP852-SF-S through the DC
power adapter. The following figures show the product appearance.

The AP adopts a fan-free design. Therefore, maintain sufficient clearance around the
AP for air circulation.
When a laptop using a power adapter for power supply is used to manage a single
AP over a serial port, power on the AP before connecting the serial port of the laptop
to the AP. Otherwise, the AP cannot be powered on.
The power adapter is an optional component. For details about the specifications,
see 7.4 Power Adapter Specifications.

2 Preparing for Installation
2.1 Safety Precautions
Note
To avoid personal injury and device damage, carefully read the safety precautions
before you install the device.
The following safety precautions do not cover all possible dangers.
2.1.1 General Safety Precautions
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.
The installation site should be free from water flooding, seepage, dripping, or
condensation. The installation site should be selected according to network planning,
communications equipment features, and considerations such as climate, hydrology,
geology, earthquake, electrical power, and transportation.
The installation site should be dry. It is not recommended that the AP be installed in a
place near the sea. Keep the device at least 500 meters away from the ocean and do
not face it towards the sea breeze.
Do not place the device in walking areas.
During the installation and maintenance, do not wear loose clothes, ornaments, or any
other things that may be hooked by the chassis.
Keep tools and components away from walking areas.
2.1.2 Handling Safety
Prevent the AP from being frequently handled.
Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling
the device.
