Step 6: Placing the AP in Your Site
1. Move the AP to its permanent location (accessible to both power and
network connections). Refer to the Mounting Instructions section for
physical installation.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the 5G ETH PoE port to an
appropriate device:
• The ISP’s or carrier’s network device.
• An Ethernet switch that is connected to the ISP’s or carrier’s
network device.
3. Connect the AP power adapter (or PoE power supply) to the AP, and
then to a convenient power source.
NOTE: If you will be using PoE, then you will need a Cat 5e (or
better) Ethernet cable to connect the AP to the PoE switch or PoE
injector.
NOTE: The power draw will identify as a Class 4 device with a max
draw of 25.5W if it is powered by an 802.3at PoE switch.
NOTE: The R850 supports 802.3at and 802.3at+ PoE modes only,
and does not support 802.3af PoE mode.
4. Verify that the 5Gbps port LED is lit.
After a short pause to re-establish the Internet connection, you can
test the AP.
Step 7: Verifying the Installation
1. Using any wireless-enabled computer or mobile device, search for
and select the wireless network you previously configured.
2. When connected, open a browser and connect to any public website.
Congratulations! Your wireless network is active and ready for use.
Mounting Instructions
Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
The factory-supplied T-bar mounting assembly kit allows you to attach the
AP to recessed and flush drop-ceiling T-bars.
1. Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (1 in the
following Figure) in the keyholes on the AP enclosure.
2. Slide the T-bar bracket away from the Ethernet ports on the bottom
of the AP until the AP retainer tab (2) snaps into place, trapping the T-
bar bracket studs in the keyholes (3).
FIGURE 3 Attaching the T-bar bracket to the AP
3. Insert the locking tab (4) so it is in the first position on the T-bar
bracket (1).
4. Gently push the ceiling tiles, if present, up and out of the way.
5. Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge of the T-bar
(1 in the Figure below). Make sure that both clasps are gripping the T-
bar.
6. Hold the AP in place and gently push the locking tab (2) until its clasp
grips the other edge of the T-bar. Make sure that all three clasps are
gripping the T-bar.
