Introduction About the AP3935i and AP3935e AP3935 Overview Architectural Features This installation guide provides an overview and installation instructions for the ExtremeWireless Access Points AP3935i and AP3935e. About the AP3935i and AP3935e The AP3935 is designed to extend your Wireless LAN around indoor locations. The AP3935 supports the 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless standards, with full backward compatibility with legacy 802.11a, and 802.11b/g devices.

Introduction Reset Switch The AP3935 provides a Reset Switch to reset or restore factory default configurations. Use a pointed object to press the switch button through the hole. (See Figure 3: AP3935 Bottom View on page 11.) If you hold down the button for less than five seconds, the AP performs a software interrupt, causing it to drop all connections and reset.

Installation Determine the spot on the wall to mount the AP. Pick a spot near the ceiling, but in reach of the Ethernet cable and if you are using external power, near a wall power outlet. 2 To mount the AP directly on the wall with two screws, use the provided template and mark the two drill holes on the wall.
Page 18
Installation 7 When mounting the AP on a wall or flat ceiling, a Kensington lock provides extra stability. Note The mounting bracket (30513, WS-MBI-WALL03) is optional when mounting the AP on a wall. If mounting the AP on a flat ceiling, we recommend using the mounting bracket (30513, WS-MBI-WALL03) for added security.
Installation Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN port) on the top of the AP. This is the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations. • Power by external power supply Where a PoE-capable Ethernet connection is unavailable or impractical, an external 12 VDC power supply may be ordered separately to power the AP from a standard AC wall outlet.
