Software Configuration
The EAP can be powered via a PSE device (such as a PoE switch) or a power adapter.
Power Supply
A DHCP server (typically a router) is required to assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
The management host can be in the same or different network segment with the EAPs.
Option 1: Ceiling Rail Mounting
Option 2: Ceiling Mounting
Option 3: Wall Mounting
The EAP can be ceiling rail mounted, ceiling-mounted, or wall-mounted.
The instructions for various mounting options are on the back of this Quick Installation Guide.
To quickly set up a wireless network connection with mass EAPs, please follow the steps
below.
Note: The IP address of the management host must be reachable for the EAPs in the network. In this example, the
management host is in the same LAN as the EAPs.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the ETHERNET port.
Via PoE Switch
For More Congurations
You can now manage your wireless network and view network statistics using the EAP
Controller. Please refer to the EAP Controller User Guide for more information about
conguring and using the Controller software.
Step 1: Installing the EAP Controller
On the management host, download the EAP Controller installation file from the product
support page at www.tp-link.com. Run the file and follow the wizard to install the EAP
Controller.
Step 2: Configuring the EAP Controller
Launch the EAP Controller and follow the configuration wizard to create a primary wireless
network. After the wizard is finished, a login screen will appear. Enter the admin name and
password you created and click Sign In.
Step 3: Adopting the EAP devices
Adopt the EAP devices in the Controller management interface to change their status from
Pending to Connected.

Make two small pencil marks on the
wall. Make sure the two marks are level
and 98.6mm apart.
Drill a 6mm hole through the center of
each mark.
Note: Install the EAP with the Ethernet port downward.

Place the mounting bracket in the center
of the ceiling tile. Mark three positions for
the screw holes and a position for the
Ethernet cable hole.
Drill three 4mm holes for the screws and a
25mm hole for the Ethernet cable at the
marked positions.

Remove the ceiling tile.
3
Insert the plastic wall anchors into the
6mm holes and drive the self-tapping
screws into the anchors. Do not drive
the screws all the way in and leave
enough clearance to hang the EAP.

Secure the mounting bracket to the
ceiling tile using three M3x30 pan-head
screws, washers and wing nuts, as shown
on the left.
3
Attach the mounting bracket to the
Ceiling T-rail Clip using four M3x6
pan-head screws.
4
Hang the EAP on the screws. Make sure
the EAP is firmly seated against the
wall.
