Page 5: Chapter 1: Introduction
Point is an enterprise class 802.11n Access Point, installed in minutes anywhere a CAT-5e (or better) cable is located. An Altitude 4521 Series Access Point utilizes a setup wizard to define its operational mode as either a Dependent mode AP, Standalone AP or Virtual Controller AP. -
Page 6: Document Conventions
The Altitude 4521 Series Access Point is approved under MODEL: NCAP-500. Extreme Networks recommends the Access Point receive power and transfer data through the same CAT-5e (or better) Ethernet cable using an Extreme Networks approved Power Injector. The Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-2P2-AFR) is an 802.3af PoE injector. For information, see “Power Injector System”... -

Page 14: Wall Mount Installation
Chapter 2: Hardware Installation CAUTION To avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable PoE from a wired controller port connected to an Access Point if mid-span power sourcing equipment (PSE) is used between the two, regardless of the manufacturer. CAUTION Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC cable with an appropriate ground connection approved for the country of operation. - Page 15 Wall Mount Installation 3 At each point, drill a hole in the wall, insert an anchor, screw into the anchor the wall mounting screw and stop when there is 1mm between the screw head and the wall. If pre-drilling a hole, the recommended hole size is 2.8mm (0.11in.) if the screws are going directly into the wall and 6mm (0.23in.) if wall anchors are being used.
