Installation Steps
The EAP can be mounted into an 86 mm wall junction box, a standard EU wall junction box, or a
standard US junction box. The junction box should be pre-installed with a running-in-wall Ethernet
cable connected to a PoE switch.

Standard EU wall junction box86 mm wall junction box Standard US wall junction box
Note: For simplicity, the 86 mm wall junction box is used as an example below.
1. Detach the faceplate of the junction box with a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the enclosed screws and tighten them with a Philips screwdriver to secure the mounting
bracket.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable inside the junction box to an RJ45 plug. Then connect the cable to
the ETH0 (PoE IN) port. Position the Ethernet cable to ensure it is not strained.
Note:
If the junction box does not have enough room to accommodate the EAP, replace the junction box with
an open‑end junction box or a deeper one.
4. Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by aligning the two mounting studs on the mounting
bracket with the large opening of the slots on the EAP. Press and slide the EAP down until it locks
into place.
Note:
Do not over tighten the screws.
If the enclosed screws do not t the junction box, use the screws attached to the junction box instead.
When mounting the bracket to a standard US junction box, use the holes on the top and bottom sides.
Before installation, be sure that you have the following items:
A pre-installed wall junction box
An RJ45 plug
A Phillips screwdriver
A PoE switch

Flash:
• Flash twice: Initialization is completed.
• Flash once per second: The EAP is upgrading.
• Flash quickly: The EAP is resetting, or the Omada controller is locating the device*.
* When the Locate feature is activated in the Omada controller, the LED will ash quickly for 10 minutes to help
you locate and identify the device. You can disable this feature manually to stop the device from ashing.
ETH0 (PoE IN) Port
Connected to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE switch, for both data
transmission and Power. The PSE supports 802.3af/at inputs and complies with Power Source
Class 2 (PS2) or Limited Power Source (LPS) defined in the standard of IEC 62368-1.

Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
Note:
Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to the topology figure.
A DHCP server (typically a gateway/router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP
addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
The controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the gateway/router, switch, and
EAPs) in order to find, adopt, and manage them.
Choose from the following types of Omada Controller:
On a PC with Windows OS or Linux OS, download the software controller from
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/omada-software-controller/. Then run the file and
follow the wizard to install and launch the controller.
To manage your devices, the software controller needs to keep running on your computer.
