Hardware Installation

An AP7131 or AP7131N Access Point installation includes mounting the Access Point, connecting the Access Point
to the network, connecting antennae and applying power. Installation procedures vary for different environments.
Both an AP7131 and AP7131N model Access Point have the following port designations:
• GE1/POE - LAN port
• GE2 - WAN Port
1. Verify the contents of the box includes the intended Access Point and accessory hardware.
2. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the
Access Point.
3. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a PoE compatible device and run the cable to the installation
site. Ensure there is sufficient cable slack to perform the installation steps.
4. Determine whether the Access Point is powered using a Power Injector system, combining data and
power to the Access Point's GE1/PoE port or will be powered from a conventional power adapter
providing power only to the Access Point's DC-48V connector.

2.1 Precautions

Before installing an AP7131 or AP7131N model Access Point:
• Verify the intended deployment location is not prone to moisture or dust.
• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.
