Locking Notch The Locking Notch will be used with the
Mounting Bracket to help secure the UniFi AP. (This is described
further in the Mounting Bracket section.)
Ethernet This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect
the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP
server. Power can be provided by a Ubiquiti Networks
UniFi Switch with PoE or Gigabit PoE adapter (included with
single-packonly).
Reset The Reset button serves two functions for the UniFi AP:
• Restart Press and release the Reset button quickly.
• Restore to Factory Default Settings Press and hold the
Reset button for more than five seconds.
Alternatively, the UniFi AP may be reset remotely via a Reset

the Locking Tab and turn the UniFi AP counterclockwise.

Hardware Installation
The UniFi AP can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation:
Wall Mount
1. Position the Mounting Bracket at the desired location on
the wall with the arrow pointing up.
2. Use a pencil to mark the four mounting holes. Use a 6 mm
drill bit to drill the mounting holes.
Arrow
3. If your Ethernet cable feeds through the wall, then cut or
drill a circle approximately 18 mm in diameter. Then feed
the CAT5/6 cable through the hole.
25 mm
Note: 25 mm is the distance from the center of the
bottom mounting hole to the center of the cable hole.

4. Insert the Screw Anchors into the 6 mm holes. Secure the
Mounting Bracket to the wall by inserting the Screws into
the anchors.
5. If the Ethernet cable runs along the mounting surface, then
remove the Cable Feed Plug.

6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
7. Align the arrow on the UniFi AP with the arrow on the
Locking Tab of the Mounting Bracket.
