Hardware Installation
The UniFi AP can be mounted to a wall or on a pole. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation:
Wall Mount
To mount the UniFi AP on a wall, use the included Wall Mount
Bracket, Screws, and Screw Anchors.
1. Place the Wall Mount Bracket at the desired location on the
wall, with the one screw hole pointed towards the ground.
2. Use a pencil to mark the three holes on the wall.
3. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill the holes in the wall.
4. Insert a Screw Anchor into each hole.
5. Secure the Wall Mount Bracket to the wall with the
self-tapping Screws.

6. Align the mounting tabs on the UniFi AP with the notches
on the Wall Mount Bracket, and slide the UniFi AP down
until it locks into place.
Pole Mount
To mount the UniFi AP on a pole, use the included Metal Strap:
1. Turn the screw on the Metal Strap counter-clockwise to
open the strap.

2. Straighten out the end of the Metal Strap and slide it
through the back of the UniFi AP.
3. Wrap the Metal Strap around the pole. Use a screwdriver
to turn the screw clockwise and securely fasten the strap
to the pole.

4. Connect the two Antennas to the RP-SMA connectors.
Powering the UniFi AP
The UniFi AP can be powered by the included PoE Adapter or a
PoE switch such as a TOUGHSwitch or UniFi Switch with PoE.
1. Lift the locking tab of the Port Cover and slide the cover
down to remove it.

Secondary

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Main port.
Main
Secondary
Connecting to a PoE Adapter
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP to the POE
port of the PoE Adapter.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port
of the PoE Adapter.
3. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter, and then plug the
Power Cord into a power outlet.

Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)
1. Remove the PoE Mounting Bracket from the adapter, place
the bracket at the desired location, and mark the two holes.
2. Pre-drill the holes if necessary, and secure the bracket
using two fasteners (not included).
3. Align the slots on the adapter with the tabs of the PoE
Mounting Bracket, and then slide the adapter down.
Connecting to a PoE Switch
Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP directly to a
port on a TOUGHSwitch or a UniFi Switch with PoE. Manually
enable 24V PoE on the connected port.

Software Installation
Download and install the latest version of the UniFi Controller
software. Launch it and follow the on-screen instructions. The
software and step-by-step instructions in the User Guide are
available at: www.ubnt.com/download/unifi
After you have installed the software and run the UniFi
Installation Wizard, a login screen will appear for the UniFi
Controller management interface. Enter the Admin Name and
Password that you created and click Log In.
You can manage your wireless network and view network
statistics using the UniFi Controller management interface.
For information on configuring and using the UniFi Controller
software, refer to the User Guide.
Mobile App Installation
Ubiquiti Networks also offers the UniFi mobile app, which
is available from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play™Store
(Android). You can use it to provision a UniFi AP for basic
functionality without configuring a UniFi Controller. It also
allows seamless provisioning of APs for remote controllers
(controllers not on the same Layer 2 network) and easy access
to local controllers and those monitored on unifi.ubnt.com
