Installing the Extricom Series WLAN System
If an AP must be located over 100 meters from the switch, an Extricom Range
Extender must be used, which allows up to an additional 50m, for a total switch-to-
AP distance of up to 150m.
AP distances of up to 400m can be supported on GbE connections by using Extricom
EXMC-1000 media converters.
4.
Connect the power cable to the power connector located on the rear panel of the AT-EXLS-
3000 switch and plug the other end of the power cable into a power source.
5.
Connect the power cables to the power connectors located on the rear panel of the edge switches
and plug the other end of the power cables into a power source.
6.
Verify that the Power LEDs on all the switches are green.
Additional APs can be connected or disconnected while the switch is active.
If using fiber media converters (ATI/100Mbps, CTC/1000Mbps) to extend switch-to-
AP distance:
The switch-side media converter is powered via PoE from the WLAN switch
or optional external power supply.
Once all cables are connected (switch – copper – converter – fiber –
converter – copper – AP), perform a port power down/up in the web GUI of
the switch to renew switch awareness of the AP connection.
Fiber mode is Multi for 100Mbps.
Fiber mode can be Multi or Single for 1000Mbps per the SFP module
selected. Both ends of the fiber termination must be in the same (SFP) mod
