Installation Procedures

Attaching the Ground Cable to the Access Point

1. Select a ground post on the access point (two available on the bottom panel).
2. Insert the screw through the ground lug on the ground wire and secure it to the selected ground post using a Phillips-head screwdriver. The ground wire must be 20AWG or larger, and the screw must be 3.5mm or larger.
3. Attach the other end of the ground wire to a circuit breaker, ground rod, or earth ground. Keep the ground cable as short as possible.

Connecting an Ethernet Cable to the Access Point

1. Place the access point on a table or desk.
2. Remove the cap from the LAN port.
3. Disassemble the sealing nut, clamping claw, and sealing insert.
4. Slide the Ethernet LAN cable through the sealing nut and clamping claw.
5. Open the sealing insert and slip it onto the Ethernet wire, ensuring the grooved end faces the clamping claw and the claw's fingers point towards the sealing nut.
6. Slide the sealing insert into the clamping claw and then slide the clamping claw into the sealing nut.
7. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet LAN port within the sealing assembly and tighten the sealing nut.
8. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PoE++ source device (e.g., a PoE++ switch). It is recommended to complete all installation steps before powering on the device.

Attaching the Antennas to the Access Point

1. Remove the blind caps from the antenna connectors.
2. Screw a surge protector onto an antenna connector.
3. Screw the nut onto the surge protector and install the metal washer and rubber washer, in that order, onto the surge protector.
4. Screw an antenna onto the surge protector and tighten the nut against the antenna.
5. Repeat for all antennas. Ensure 5GHz antennas are connected to 5GHz connectors and 2.4GHz antennas to 2.4GHz connectors.

Installing the Access Point on a Wall

1. Hold the mounting base on the wall at the desired location and mark the four mounting holes.
2. Pre-drill the marked locations.
3. Install the provided wall anchors.
4. Attach the access point to the wall using the provided screws.

Installing the Access Point on a Pole

Using the U-bolts and Pole Mount Bracket:

1. Attach the pole mount bracket to the pole using the two U-bolts.
2. Attach the access point to the pole-mount bracket with screws.
3. To adjust the position upwards or downwards, loosen the two bolts on the sides of the pole mount brackets, adjust the angle, and then tighten the bolts.

Using the Pole Straps and Mounting Base:

1. Attach the mounting base to the bottom of the access point with screws, spring washers, and washers. (Note: Attach the ground cable before the mounting base).
2. Thread one pole strap through the designated holes (marked '1') on the mounting base and repeat for the second strap. Use holes marked '2' for horizontal pole mounting.
3. Wrap the pole straps around the pole.
4. Insert the ends of the pole straps beneath the strap screws.
5. Tighten the screws to secure the access point to the pole.

LED Indicators

Starting the Initial Management Session

The access point's firmware includes a DHCP client. By default, it is enabled. Upon first power-up, the access point queries the LAN port's subnet for a DHCP server. If a server responds, the unit uses the assigned IP address. If no DHCP server is present, use the default address 192.168.1.230.

1. Open a web browser on your management workstation.
2. Enter the access point's IP address in the browser's URL field.
3. Log in using "manager" as the username and "friend" as the password (case-sensitive).

Setting the Country Setting

For non-US models, a country code setting is required during the initial management session to ensure compliance with local regulations. The country code for US models is preset and cannot be changed, adhering to FCC regulations for US operational channels.

Resetting the Device

To reset the device to its default settings, remove the transparent cap on the front panel and press the black reset button for five seconds, then release.

Optional Patch Antenna and Extension Cable

Allied Telesis offers the optional TQ0301 dual-band patch antenna with four 2-meter cables and the TQ0064 10-meter RF extension cable. These must be purchased separately.

• Dual-band Patch Antenna (Bracket Assembly attached)
• Four Cables (2 m)
• Four SMA to N jack conversion adapters (Note: not used for TQ6702e GEN2)
• Two metal protective caps

Attaching the Cables to the TQ0301 Patch Antenna

Allied Telesis offers two types of cables for the TQ0301 patch antenna: a 2-meter cable (included with TQ0301) and a 10-meter TQ0064 cable.

1. Remove the connector blind caps covering the antenna connectors.
2. Attach the N-Jack adapters to the two-meter cables.
3. Screw the cables to the antenna connectors.

Installing the TQ0301 Patch Antenna on a Pole

The TQ0301 patch antenna can be mounted on a pole using the provided pole-mount brackets. Ensure the cable connectors face downwards during installation.
