Access Point Installation Procedures
2-6 Installation
corresponding holes on the junction box (see Figure 2-3 for location of junction box screw
holes).
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port (and plug the power cord into the power port, if
applicable) on the back of the AP before mounting the AP on the bracket.
4. Place the back of the AP against the mounting bracket so that the bracket side rails fit into the
rail slots on the back of the AP and the locking screw hole in the AP aligns with the locking
tab. Slide the AP down until the AP rests on the locking tab, and screw in the locking screw
through the locking tab and locking screw hole. Figure 2-4 on page 2-5 shows what the AP
would look like with the mounting bracket in place.
LAN/Console Connections
The WS-AP3710 has both a LAN and a Console port. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 for the
location of these ports. The WS-AP3725 has two LAN ports and a Console port. Refer to Figure 1-5
on page 1-7 for the location of these ports.
During administration and maintenance through the LAN or Console, the AP must have a power
connection through either an Ethernet PoE cable or a DC power supply.
Power Connections
The AP can be powered in one of the following ways:
• Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN port) on the top of the AP. This is the
preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations.
• Power by external power supply
Where a PoE-capable Ethernet connection is unavailable or impractical, an external 48V DC
power supply (WS-AP3X48-MR) may be ordered separately to power the AP from a standard
AC wall outlet. For more information on the installation process, see Connecting the DC
Power Supply to the AP3710/AP3725 below.
Connecting the DC Power Supply to the AP3710/AP3725
There is no wall mount for the WS-AP3X48-MR 48V DC power supply. To connect the power
supply to the AP for everyday operation, mount the AP and plug in the power supply as
described in Mounting the AP3710/AP3725 to a Wall. If you have taken the AP off its mount for
configuration and maintenance, plug the power cable from the DC power supply into the DC
connector on the top of the AP.
Warning: If the screw is not inserted as described in this step, there is a strong risk the
Enterasys Wireless
AP3710/AP3725 will fall from the bracket.
