… Prepare the mounting site. Do not finish mounting the unit until all the cables are in place.
… Use Ethernet cable to connect the WAP 100AC to a power injector or the network.
… If you are not using Power over Ethernet (PoE), connect a 12 VDC power power supply.
NOTE: The WAP 100AC can use a 12 VDC, minimum 1.0 A power supply or a PoE+ (802.3at compliant) power injector.
Extron recommends using PoE.

Mounting
ATTENTION:
All structural steps and electrical installation must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local and
•
national building codes and electrical codes.
Toute étape structurelle et installation électrique, doit être effectuée par un personnel qualifié, conformément aux codes
•
du bâtiment, aux codes incendie et sécurité, et aux codes électriques, locaux et nationaux.
Consider the Mounting Location
Consider these issues to determine a suitable position to mount the WAP 100AC for optimal performance:
Walls, ceilings, and objects such as filing cabinets can decrease signal strength. Take into account the number, thickness,
•
and location of walls and ceilings.
Wireless signals are weakened less by dry wall than many other materials, such as brick or metal.
•
Interference from electrical devices that generate RF noise (for example, microwaves or cordless phones) can also weaken
•
the signal.
Two or more WAP 100AC units can be used to wirelessly connect networks or to enlarge the wireless area beyond the area
•
that can be served by a single access point.
