Installation

Mount the AP

a. Mounting on a Wall

1. At the installation location on the wall, use the mounting bracket to mark four holes for the wall plugs and screws (included in the screw kit).
   Drill four holes for the wall plugs, and then insert the plugs and tap them flush with the wall surface.
   Note: Drill 2.5 mm (±0.2 mm) holes for M3 self-tapping screws, or 4.5 mm (±0.2 mm) holes for nylon wall plugs.
   Use the four screws to secure the bracket to the wall.
2. With its ports facing down, place the AP over the bracket flanges and then slide it down until it snaps into its secured position.
3. Use the bracket’s thumb screw to secure the AP to the bracket.

b. Mounting on a Suspended Ceiling T-Bar

1. Slide the bracket accessory onto the base of the AP and secure it using the bracket’s thumb screw.
2. Use the two included security screws to completely secure the bracket to the AP.
3. Position the ceiling-mount clip holders on either side of the T-bar, and then turn the AP until the two clips lock it to the T-bar.

Note: The AP mounting supports two different sizes of suspended ceiling T-bars. The position illustrated above is for 15 mm bars. Use the position at a 90 degrees angle for 24.5 mm bars.

c. Mounting on a Ceiling Without T-Bars

1. At the installation location on the ceiling, use the mounting bracket to mark and drill four holes for the screws (included in the screw kit).
   Place the ceiling plate on the top side of the ceiling surface.
   Use the four screws to secure the bracket to the ceiling plate through the ceiling material (screw torque must be less than 6 kgf.cm).
2. Place the AP over the bracket flanges and then slide it onto the bracket until it snaps into its secured position.
3. Use the bracket’s thumb screw to secure the AP to the bracket.

Connect Cables

a. Connect LAN Cables

1. Connect Category 5e or better cable to the Uplink (PoE) 5GBASE-T RJ-45 port. When connected to a PoE source, the Uplink (PoE) port connection provides power to the unit.
2. (Optional) Connect a local LAN switch or computer to the LAN 1000BASE-T RJ-45 port.
   b. (Optional) Connect AC Power Adapter
3. When not connected to a PoE source, connect the AC power adapter to the USB PD Type-C port on the AP and then plug the adapter into a nearby AC power source.

Check the System LED

1. When operating normally, the System LED should be on green. Blinking indicates the device is booting up.

Connect to the Web User Interface

1. Connect a PC directly to the AP’s LAN port.
2. Set the PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the AP LAN port default IP address. (The PC address must start 192.168.2.x with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.)
3. Enter the AP’s default IP address of 192.168.2.1 into the web browser address bar.
   Note: To connect to the web interface using the Uplink (PoE) port, the IP address is automatically assigned through DHCP by default. If a DHCP server is unreachable, the Uplink (PoE) port reverts to a fallback IP address of 192.168.1.10.
4. On first-time log in to the web interface, the Setup Wizard starts and you must select how the AP will be managed, either using the ecCLOUD controller, an EWS-Series controller, or in stand-alone mode.
   
5. Continue with the Setup Wizard to make other settings:
   • Cloud-Managed Mode: Select the country of operation.
   • EWS-Series Controller Mode: Complete the CAPWAP setup, use the default wireless network setting or customize the network name, then set a password (the default user name is “admin” with password “admin”), and select the country of operation.
   • Stand-Alone Mode: Use the default wireless network setting or customize the network name, then set a password (the default user name is “admin” with password “admin”), and select the country of operation.
6. Click “Done” to finish the setup wizard.

Note: For more information on the Setup Wizard and AP configuration, refer to the User Manual.

(Optional) QR Code Onboarding

For quick set up and registration of your AP with the ecCLOUD controller, you can scan the QR code on the AP using a phone.

Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the AP is powered on and connected to the Internet.
2. Use the camera (iPhone) or a barcode app (Android) on your phone to scan the AP’s QR code. The QR code is printed on a label next to the AP’s ports.
   
3. When a message pops up, tap “yes” to join the Wi-Fi network (iPhone requires you to go to Settings > Wi-Fi or open the browser for the message to pop up).
   The web browser should open and redirect to the Setup Wizard page.
   Note: If the phone cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network, type the SSID (network name) and password manually. The SSID name is the AP serial number (for example, EC0123456789), and the password is the AP MAC address (for example, 903CB3BC1234).
4. After setting a new password and the regulatory country, select to manage the AP using the ecCLOUD controller, an EWS-Series controller, or to manage the AP in stand-alone mode.
   
   α. Stand-Alone Mode: Use the default wireless network setting or customize the network name and password. Tap “Done” to finish the Setup Wizard.
   Wait about two minutes for the AP configuration to update, and then connect to the wireless network name configured in the setup wizard. The browser is then redirected to the login page of the AP.
   b. EWS-Series Controller Mode: Complete the CAPWAP setup, then set a password and select the country of operation. Tap “Done” to finish the setup wizard.
   C. Cloud-Managed Mode: Tap “Done” to finish the setup wizard and the browser is redirected to the ecCLOUD login page.
   
   If you already have an ecCLOUD account, log in and select a site for the AP. The AP is automatically registered for cloud management. After you tap “Save,” wait about two minutes for the cloud controller to configure the AP.
   
   If you do not have an ecCLOUD account, tap “I want to register” and first set up an account. Create a cloud and site before confirming the regulatory country. After tapping “Next,” the AP is then automatically registered for cloud management. After you tap “Save,” wait about two minutes for the cloud controller to configure the AP.

Note: Refer to the Edge core ecCLOUD Controller User Manual for more information on setting up and configuring APs through ecCLOUD.
