INIT Used to initialize this product
1
(reset to factory default
settings). When this switch is
pressed, the POWER,
WLAN, and LAN LEDs
start to flash. If this switch is
released during the period
from when the LEDs start to
flash and until they turn on
(approximately 3 seconds), all
of the access point' s settings
will be reset to the factory
default when next started.
* When initializing the product by turning the INIT
signal on and off, the LEDs will continue flashing
for a short time after the signal is turned off. This
indicates the internal memory files are being
deleted. If the power is turned off while the LEDs
are flashing, the internal memory files may be
damaged and the product may no longer be able to
start properly. Always restart the product after the
LEDs stop flashing.

Power Supply

When using the AC adapter (FX-AC053)
Pass the DC plug through the connector cover opening and connect the AC
adapter' s DC plug to the product' s DC jack. You can prevent the DC plug from
being pulled out by hooking the cord on the power disconnection prevention
hook located on the connector section.
CAUTION
When supplying power via PoE, do not use the power supplied from the power connector or
the AC adapter.
When supplying power from the power
connector
Power connector: MC1,5/3-ST-3,5(PHOENIX CONTACT),
Power can be externally supplied using
Cable: AWG28-16(on the condition that the cable length satisfies the power

CAUTION
- Carefully manufacture the power cable taking care not to mistake the wiring. In particular, if
the power cable is used with mistaken housing pin numbers, there is a risk of malfunction or
accidents.
- Input voltage range: 5 to 30 VDC ± 5%. Use a power supply that rises to 4.75 VDC or higher
in the input voltage range within 10 ms. There is a risk of damage to the device or accident if a
power supply outside this range is used.
- When supplying power with the AC adapter, do not use power supplied from the power
connector.
- For PoE wire route only in the same building
LAN Port
Connect a LAN cable to this product's LAN port.
CAUTION
- Ensure that the cable length between this product and a PC or hub is 100 m or shorter.
- When supplying power via PoE or when using 100BASE-TX, use a Category 5 or better
cable. When using 10BASE-T, use a Category 3 or better cable.
Attaching the security wire
A commercially available security wire can be attached to the security slot
located on the connector section.
Recommended security wires:
- KOKUYO EAS-L41, Buffalo BSL4DS, SANWA SUPPLY SL-31S
Attaching the connector cover
Attach the connector cover to the product.
Using magnets for installation
Attach the included magnets to the two magnet attachment locations on the
back of the access point. To attach the magnets, push them in the direction of
the arrow to insert them entirely into the attachment holes.
CAUTION
- Do not place the magnets near items that are susceptible to magnetic fields.
- If the product is moved while attached to a steel desk or other object, it may damage the
painted surface.
Using the included screws for installation
Referring to the diagram to the right, drive the two included screws into a
sturdy, vertical wall surface while leaving around 3 mm of the screws sticking
out from the wall surface.
Hook the attachment holes on the back of the access point to the heads of the
screws to attach it.
Due to the characteristics of wireless networks, the signal will spread in a wider
area when the access point is installed in a highly-visible location, so we
recommend you install it in a location as high as possible.
Note that the placing the product near metal or concrete walls (including steel
beams) may cause the signal quality to degrade.
CAUTION
- The access point cannot be installed on the ceiling using the screws due to the danger of falling.
If a ceiling installation is required, use the optional installation bracket.
- Caution: If the product's ventilation holes are blocked, the product may malfunction due to a
rise in internal temperature.
