hole. Mark four positions for the screw holes and

then drill four 6 mm diameter holes at the marked

positions.

Secure the mounting bracket to the wall by driving

the self-tapping screws into the anchors. Make

sure that the shoulders of the mounting bracket are

on the outside.

Remove the ceiling tile.

Place the mounting bracket in the center of the

ceiling tile. Mark four positions for the screw

holes and a position for the Ethernet cable hole.

Drill four 4 mm diameter holes for the screws and

a 25 mm diameter hole for the Ethernet cable at

the marked positions.

Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile

using four M3x30 pan-head screws, washers and

wing nuts, as shown on the left.

Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole and set

the ceiling tile back into place.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.

Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket, then

rotate the EAP until it locks into place, as shown on

the left.

Note: Make sure that the ceiling tile is bigger than the EAP.

This document describes the TP-Link Omada Wireless Access Point, a device designed for robust wireless network management. It can be deployed in various environments, offering both standalone and centralized control options to suit different network scales and user preferences.

Function Description

The Omada Wireless Access Point serves as a central component for establishing and extending wireless networks. It broadcasts Wi-Fi signals, allowing client devices to connect and access network resources. The device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling both power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter. Alternatively, it can be powered via a standard power adapter. The access point is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Omada ecosystem, which includes software and hardware controllers for unified management of multiple EAPs.

Usage Features

The Omada Wireless Access Point offers flexible installation options, allowing for either ceiling or wall mounting. For ceiling mounting, the device can be secured to a ceiling tile using screws, washers, and wing nuts, with a dedicated hole for the Ethernet cable. Wall mounting involves securing a bracket to the wall using plastic anchors and self-tapping screws, ensuring the bracket's shoulders are on the outside for proper EAP attachment. Once the bracket is in place, the EAP is attached and rotated until it locks securely.

The device features an LED indicator that provides visual feedback on its operational status. A steady "On" light indicates normal operation or initialization, while "Off" signifies abnormal operation, power off, or the LED being turned off. Various flashing patterns communicate specific states:

Initialization: Two flashes after completion.
Upgrade: One flash per second during an upgrade.
Reset: Rapid flashing during a reset, followed by a reboot.
Isolated: Slow flashing, indicating the EAP is in an isolated state.
Locate: Quick flashing when the "Locate" feature is activated via the Omada controller, helping to identify the device. This lasts for 10 minutes or until manually disabled.

Configuration and management can be performed in two primary modes:

Standalone Mode:

This mode is suitable for smaller networks with a limited number of devices, where each EAP is configured and managed individually.

Via Omada App: Users can download the TP-Link Omada App on their mobile device (available on App Store and Google Play). After connecting to the EAP's default SSID (e.g., TP-Link_2.4GHz/5GHz_XXXXXX), the app will detect the EAP, allowing for quick configuration of common settings.
Via Web Browser: Users can connect wirelessly to the EAP's default SSID, then launch a web browser and navigate to http://tplinkeap.net. The default login credentials (admin/admin) allow access to the management interface, where a new username and password can be set, wireless parameters modified, and the device reconnected to the new network. While basic functions are configurable here, advanced settings may require Controller Mode.

Controller Mode:

This mode is designed for centralized management of multiple EAPs, providing a unified platform for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. It leverages an Omada Controller, which can be either software-based or hardware-based.

Omada Software Controller: This controller runs on a PC with Windows OS or Linux OS. The software can be downloaded from the TP-Link website, installed, and launched. For continuous management, the PC running the software controller must remain operational.
Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300): This is a dedicated hardware device that serves as the controller, eliminating the need for a continuously running PC. It needs to be purchased separately.
Via Omada App (Controller Mode): After downloading the Omada App, users can configure the controller locally or remotely. For local management, connect to the EAP's default SSID, then use the app's "Local Access" feature to add and configure the controller. For remote management, ensure both the controller and mobile device have internet access. If using a software controller, Cloud Access must be enabled and bound to a TP-Link ID. If using a hardware controller, Cloud Access is enabled by default, indicated by a slowly flashing Cloud LED. Users log in with their TP-Link ID via the app to access and manage their controllers.
Via Web Browser (Controller Mode):
- Omada Software Controller: Launch the software controller on the PC, which will automatically open its web page.
- Omada Hardware Controller: The controller obtains an IP address from the router's DHCP server. Users can find this IP address by checking the router's DHCP client list (accessible via the router's web page after logging in). Once the IP address is known, it can be entered into a web browser to access the controller's management interface. After initial setup via a wizard, users can log in with their created credentials to further configure the controller. Remote management is also possible via Omada Cloud Service (https://omada.tplinkcloud.com), requiring Cloud Access to be enabled and bound to a TP-Link ID on the controller.

Maintenance Features

The Omada Wireless Access Point includes a reset button for restoring factory default settings. To perform a reset, press and hold the button for approximately 5 seconds while the device is powered on, until the LED flashes quickly. Releasing the button will initiate the reset and subsequent reboot. This feature is useful for troubleshooting or reconfiguring the device from scratch.

For technical support, user guides, and other information, TP-Link provides resources on its official website and a community forum for users and engineers to interact. Safety information is also provided, advising users to keep the device away from water, fire, humidity, or hot environments, and to avoid disassembling, repairing, or modifying the device. It also emphasizes using only recommended chargers and ensuring the adapter is easily accessible.
