2. Make sure that the PoE injector is properly
grounded
Note:
If the AP is deployed with an AP controller,
follow the section INSTALL THE AP to proceed.

STEP 5: INSTALL THE AP
1. Disconnect the AP’s power adapter from the
power outlet (or disconnect the PoE cable).
2. Move the AP to its permanent location
(accessible to both power source and
network connections).
MOUNTING ON A FLOATING CEILING
1. Secure the smart antenna to the
mounting base with the providedscrews.
2. Press the mounting bracket to the T-bar
at a pre-determinedlocation.
3. On the opposite side of the T-bar,
position the T-bar clip.
4. Insert the washers over the retaining
screws and insert through the T-barclip
and into the mountingbracket.
5. Secure the Smart Access Point and
mounting base to the mounting bracket
with the spring washers and screws.
6. Align the Smart Access Point and
mounting base assembly with the
mounting bracket.
7. Insert the adjusting screws throughthe
mounting base and secure.
STEP 6: WATERPROFFING THE CABLE
For outdoor installation, you need to waterproof the
LAN port using the supplied sealingcap.
1. Slide the locking nut over the bare endof
the Ethernet cable.
2. Slightly pry open the gasket and rubber
stopper, and insert the Ethernet cable.
3. Slide the gasket and rubber stopper into
the locking nut.
4. Connect the RJ-45 connector into the
smart antenna LAN port.
5. Flush the gasket, rubber stopper and
locking nut together into the LAN port
opening, then twist the locking nut to seal
the opening.
6. Slide the sealing cap over the bare endof
the Ethernet cable.
7. Tighten the sealing cap.
Note:
Do not tighten the screws completely at this
time to allow for final tilt down adjustments.
Note:
The Smart Access Point is ideal for closed and
semi-outdoor environments. The signal strength
it will receive depends largely on its position, so
make sure that sufficient survey has been made
to determine the best placement for maximum
range, coverage, and network performance
before installing.

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA (OPTIONAL)
You may install optional 5GHz antennas on top
of the Smart Access Point to extend the rangeof
your wireless network.
1. Unscrew the metal caps protecting theantenna
connectors.
2. Connect the 5GHz antennas to the standardN-
type female antenna connectors on theAP..
3. Attach waterproof tapes to the connectors to
protect the antennas from water and dirt.
STEP 7: POWER AND CONNECT
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the DataIn
port on the PoE injector to your network’sswitch.
2. Connect the PoE injector to an AC power
source.
3. Perform a spot-check to verify if the PWR and
LAN LED are lit to make sure the AP is
operating normally
STEP 8: VERIFY THE CONNECTION
