    Mounting brackets with screws Wall mounting screws and plastic anchors WS-AP3825 Quick Reference card 3 Perform a visual inspection of the AP for any signs of physical damage. Contact Extreme Networks if there are any signs of damage. Refer to Getting Help on page 5 for details.
  • Page 15 Installation Mounting the WS-AP3825 to a Drop Ceiling To mount the AP to a drop ceiling, use one of the mounting brackets provided with the AP. There are brackets for flat drop ceilings and protruded drop ceilings. • Flat Drop Ceiling Bracket Flat drop ceilings are those in which the ceiling tiles rest flat (or nearly so) on their supporting T-bar rails.
  • Page 16 Installation Attach the T-bar rail mount bracket to the back of the AP by placing the bracket against the AP back, aligned as shown in Figure 5, with the bracket’s countersink screw holes matched up with the screw holes on the AP. Screw the provided screws into the mounting bracket and AP as shown in Figure Figure 5: Attaching a Mount Bracket to the AP back 2 Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rails where you intend to mount the AP.
  • Page 17 Installation 3 Hold the AP with the bracket against the flat side of the T-bar rail and (nearly) parallel to it. The clamping tabs fit over the rail easily if you slide one bracket tab over the lip of the rail, at a very slight angle to the rail, and then press the AP up against the rail (so that the opposite clamping tab clears the rail) and twist it so that the opposite clamping tab slides over the opposite rail lip as shown in Figure...
  • Page 18 Installation 4 When the bracket is aligned with the rail again, both clamping tabs are positioned on the T-bar rail lips. Figure 7 shows a mounting bracket, with an AP attached, firmly mounted on a drop-ceiling T- bar rail. Tap the AP to verify it is stable and won't fall off. Figure 7: AP and Mounting Bracket Seated on T-bar Rail 5 Make a hole through the ceiling panel closest to the connector bay on the AP.
  • Page 19 Installation 2 Drill two holes in the wall to match the center of the two keyhole slots in the back of the AP. The location of the holes is depicted in Figure 8 (measurements are in millimeters). For a tight fit, the holes should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the provided plastic anchors.
  • Page 20 Installation 4 Place the back of the AP against the wall with the protruding mounting screw heads fitting through the keyhole slots on the back of the AP, and slide the AP down until the AP rests on the mounting screw heads.

  • Page 22 Installation Attach the WS-MBI-DCU01 to the AP using the screws provided. If needed, pull the handle and slide the top piece to access the additional screw holes that are underneath the handle. The four screw holes are indicated by the green arrows in the following figure: Figure 11: Sliding Handle and Screw Holes...
  • Page 23 Installation WS-MBI-WALL-01 Mounting Bracket on Junction/Gang Box The WS-MBI-WALL-01 can be mounted on a junction/gang box, wall, or a solid ceiling. When mounting on a solid ceiling, it is required that you use a Kensington lock or an equivalent lock. Figure 12: WS-MBI-WALL-01 Bracket To mount the WS-MBI-WALL-01 bracket on a junction or gang box: Put the center of the bracket as close as possible to the center of the box.

    Installation The WS-AP3825 has both a LAN and a Console port. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 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: •...
  • Page 26 Installation Configuring Radio RF Port The professional installer configures Radio RF ports where antenna ports will be connected. Note All professional antenna model names are prefixed with PRO. To configure Radio RF Ports through the ExtremeWireless Assistant: Log into the Wireless Assistant. 2 From the top menu, click AP.
  • Page 27 Installation 4 Click Professional Install. The Professional Install Dialog displays. 5 Modify the Radio Antenna Type as follows: • If attaching triple port antennas, all three RF port should be configured with the same antenna type. • If attaching dual port antennas, two of the radio RF ports should be configured with the same antenna type and the third (non-active port) should be configured to None.
  • Page 28 Installation 3 Configure the desired Radio Mode, and Channel Width. 4 From the Request a New Channel drop-down menu, select a channel according to the site channel plan. 5 Request the AP to auto select the channel from the channel list set in the Channel Plan setting. 6 Repeat the process for Radio 2.
  • Page 29 Installation Configuring Radio Transmit (Tx) Power Based on the configured mode, channel, channel plan, and channel width for the specific antenna, the professional installer must enter the corresponding Transmit Power (Tx Power) for the desired Radio using the ExtremeWireless Assistant. Log into the Wireless Assistant.
