Hardware Overview
1
RESET
With the device powered on, press and hold the button for about 5 seconds until the LED flashes quickly. Then
release the button. The device will restore to factory default settings.
Ethernet Port: ETH (PoE)
The port is used to connect to a router or a switch to transmit data, or to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment),
such as a PoE switch, for both data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) through Ethernet cable.
Note: For EAP770, if you use a CAT5E cable, the 10Gbps link of the Ethernet port is less than 55m. To achieve a longer transmission
distance, use a shielded CAT6A cable.
Power Port
Plug one end of the power adapter to this port and the other end to a standard electrical wall outlet to power the
E AP.
Note: Power adapter is not included in the package contents of EAP653 and EAP613. For power supply specications, please refer to
the label at the bottom of the product.

Option 3: Junction Box Mounting
4
Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole and
set the ceiling tile back into place.
Prepare the cables and the junction box in advance. Ensure that the mounting holes align
to your junction box.
*Compatible wall junctions:
Route the cables through the square cable
hole on the mounting bracket, and secure the
mounting bracket to the junction box using
screws. Then follow Step 4 and Step 5 of
Option 2 to complete the installation.

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.

If your Ethernet cable feeds through the wall,
position the mounting bracket below the cable
hole. Mark positions for the screw holes and
drill 6 mm (15/64 in) diameter holes at the
marked positions.
