• Phillips screwdriver
• Drill and drill bit (6 mm for wall-mounting or 3 mm for ceiling-mounting)
• Optional: Drywall or keyhole saw (to cut 18 mm hole for Ethernet cable feed)

TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). It is the customer's responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, indoor cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

System Requirements

• Microsoft Windows 7/8, Mac OS X, or Linux
• Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (or above)
• Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (or above)
• UniFi Controller software v4.6 or higher (available at: downloads.ubnt.com/unifi)

Network Topology Requirements

• A DHCP-enabled network (for the AP to obtain an IP address as well as for the wireless clients after deployment)
• A management station running the UniFi Controller software, located either on-site and connected to the same Layer-2 network, or off-site in a cloud or NOC

All UniFi devices support off-site management controllers.

Hardware Overview

LED

Ports

Locking Notch The Locking Notch will be used with the Mounting Bracket to help secure the UniFi AP. (This is described further in the Mounting Bracket section.)

Main This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server. Power can be provided by the Gigabit PoE Adapter (included) or Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Switch.

Reset The Reset button serves two functions for the UniFi AP:

• Restart
  Press and release the Reset button quickly.
• Restore to Factory Default Settings
  Press and hold the Reset button for more than five seconds.

Cable Feed Use the Cable Feed slot to feed the Ethernet cable along the mounting surface.

Mounting Bracket

Locking Tab During installation, the Locking Tab on the Mounting Bracket moves from the Initial Position to the Final Position, where the Locking Tab fits securely into the Locking Notch on the UniFi AP to help prevent theft.

Hardware Installation

The UniFi AP can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Perform the steps for the appropriate installation:

Wall Mount

1. Position the Mounting Bracket at the desired location on the wall with the arrow pointing up.
2. Use a pencil to mark the four mounting holes. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill the mounting holes.
   

3. If your Ethernet cable feeds through the wall, then cut or drill a circle approximately 18 mm in diameter. Then feed the CAT5/6 cable through the hole.
   

5. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Main port. If the feed is along the mounting surface, feed the cable through the Cable Feed of the UniFi AP.
   

6. Align the arrow on the UniFi AP with the arrow on the Locking Tab of the Mounting Bracket.
   

7. Ensure that the UniFi AP is firmly seated on the Mounting Bracket. Turn the UniFi AP clockwise until it locks into place and the Locking Tab fits securely into the Locking Notch.
   

Ceiling Mount

1. Remove the ceiling tile.
2. Place the Ceiling Backing Plate in the center of the ceiling tile. Mark the four mounting screw holes.
   

3. Mark a hole approximately 18 mm in diameter for the Ethernet cable feed.
   

Note: 25 mm is the distance from the center of the bottom mounting hole to the center of the cable hole.

4. Use a 3 mm drill bit to drill the screw holes, and cut or drill the hole for the Ethernet cable feed.

5. Insert the Flat Head Screws through the Mounting Bracket, ceiling tile, and Ceiling Backing Plate. Fasten the screws using the Keps Nuts. Then feed the Ethernet cable through the 18 mm hole.
   

6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Main port.
   

7. Align the arrow on the UniFi AP with the arrow on the Locking Tab of the Mounting Bracket.
   

8. Ensure that the UniFi AP is firmly seated on the Mounting Bracket. Turn the UniFi AP clockwise until it locks into place and the Locking Tab fits securely into the Locking Notch.
   

9. Set the ceiling tile back into place.

Powering the UniFi AP

The UniFi AP can be powered directly by a UniFi Switch or with the included Gigabit PoE Adapter.

Connecting to a UniFi Switch

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP directly to a PoE port on the UniFi Switch.

Connecting to the PoE Adapter

1. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP to the Ethernet port labeled POE on the Gigabit PoE Adapter.
   

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the Ethernet port labeled LAN on the adapter.
   

3. Connect the Power Cord to the power port on the adapter. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
   

Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)

1. Slide the PoE Mounting Bracket down to remove it from the Gigabit PoE Adapter.
   

2. Place the PoE Mounting Bracket at the desired location and mark the two holes. Pre-drill the holes if necessary, and then secure the bracket using two fasteners (not included).
   

3. Align the slots of the Gigabit PoE Adapter with the tabs of the PoE Mounting Bracket, and then slide the adapter down.
