STEP 1: INITIAL CONFIGURATION
Setting up the Access Point
You can initially set up your Xclaim Access Points in one
location and then later relocate them when you are satisfied
with the configuration

packaging
2 Power up the Access Point
a. Connect the Access Point to a 802.3af
(PoE) compliant switch.
b. Alternatively, Plug in the supplied PoE
injector to a convenient and protected
power outlet
3 Connect the “PoE out” port of the PoE injector to
the Xclaim Access Point
4 Connect the remaining Ethernet port on the PoE
injector to a spare port on your Ethernet switch or
DSL/Cable Modem
5 Once power has been supplied to the Xclaim
Access Point, verify that the Power Indicator on
the Xclaim Access Point is illuminated.

(OPTIONAL) MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Xclaim Access Point can be mounted to a wall, ceiling or
to a T-bar using the supplied mounting screws or the T-bar
clips built into the bottom of the Access Point enclosure.
Mounting to a Flat Surface
1 Use this Quick Start Guide template(background
image in this page) to mark the locations for screw
holes on the mounting surface. Use a 5mm drill bit to
drill approximately 25mm into the mounting surface.
2 Insert the anchors and mounting screws into the
mounting surface, leaving approximately 1/4” (6
mm) of the screw heads protruding for the Access
Point enclosure. The screws should be
approximately 3.25” (82.6mm) apart per the
template.
3 Insert the unit removal pin into the hole on the side
of the AP.
Figure 1 – AP locking mechanism
4 Place the Access Point onto the mounting screws
so that the screw heads enter the mounting holes
on the Access Point enclosure, and push the
Access Point (to the left or down depending on
orientation) to lock in place.
5 Remove the unit removal pin to release the lock
mechanism and secure the Access Point.
6 To unmount, insert the unit removal pin into the hole
on the side of the Access Point to unlock, then push
the Access Point (to the right or up, depending on
orientation) to release the Access Point enclosure
from the mounting screws.
Mounting to a T - Bar
1 Orient the Access Point so that the T-bar is
positioned between the T- bar clips as shown in
Figure 2, then rotate the Access Point until the third
T-bar clip catches the T-bar and the latch locks the
T-bar in place (Figure 3).
Figure 2 – Positioning the AP
.
Figure 2 – Security screw hole
2 For added physical security, use a Torx
screwdriver to insert the security screw into the
hole shown in Figure 3.
3 To remove the unit, first remove the security screw,
and then depress the latch while rotating the Access
Point so that the T-bar clips disengage the T-bar.
