Prior to Installation
Before installing the equipment, inspect the AP. If damage has occurred during shipping, file a claim with the carrier, and then contact Adtran Customer
Support. For more information, refer to the product warranty available online at
Antennas
The BSAP 6120 provides four SMA-type antenna connectors (no integrated antennas are included) for use with the provided antennas. These
connectors support two internal 802.11 radios: one 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n/ax radio and one 5 GHz 802.11 a/n/ac/ax radio. There are two antenna
connectors for each band labeled 2.4GHz and 5GHz. You must attach the provided antennas prior to the connection of the PoE cable or mounting the
BSAP.
f
WARNING!
Use only the antennas provided with the unit. All four antennas must be installed directly onto the BSAP 6120 prior to connection of the PoE
power source.
Grounding the BSAP
The BSAP must be grounded prior to installation due to the location of the grounding connection on the chassis. Use the supplied green/yellow grounding
cable (180cm/5.9 feet in length, 14 AWG) to ground the BSAP 6120 by following these steps:
1. Remove the small Phillips-head grounding screw and lock washer from the BSAP packaging. The location of the grounding screw connection is
marked on the BSAP's back cover (as shown in
2. Place the lock washer and ring lug of the supplied grounding cable on the shank of the screw and secure the screw to the unit using an appropriate
tool.
3. After unit installation, attach the other end of the grounding cable to a reliable earth ground point.
f
WARNING!
Adequate grounding must be provided to the unit. A clearly marked grounding location is provided on the rear of the unit for this purpose.
Consult a certified electrician to ensure that all grounding and cabling is installed in compliance with the local electrical code.
Mounting the BSAP 6120 to an Exterior Ceiling or Wall
The 6120 BSAP can be mounted in exterior applications or interior applications, and in harsh environments with an operating temperature range of –4°F
to 140°F (–20°C to 60°C). The BSAP should be positioned for maximum throughput and range between other APs and wireless client devices. Complete
these instructions to mount the BSAP 6120 to a ceiling or wall:
1. Attach all antennas to the BSAP (refer to
2. Attach the grounding cable and screw to the BSAP (refer to
3. On a flat mounting surface, using the mounting bracket as a guide for exact positioning, mark the locations of the four mounting holes.
4. Select the appropriate anchor and screw combination for the material in which you will be installing the BSAP (plastic anchors for solid walls (such
as concrete), and metal anchors for hollow walls/ceilings (such as drywall, sheetrock, or ceiling tiles).
5. If using plastic anchors, drill an appropriate size hole (6 mm diameter) into each of the markings. The metal anchors are no-drill anchors and do not
require a drilled hole.
6. Insert the appropriate anchors into each of the drilled holes. If using metal anchors, tap the anchors into the mounting surface in the marked
location(s) until the threads are secure, and then screw them in until they are flush with the surface.
7. Place the mounting bracket flat against the anchors (so that the screw-mount holes are flat against the surface and align with the anchors) and
secure the bracket to the surface using the appropriate mounting screws. The protruding mounting tabs should face outward, so that the BSAP can
slide onto the bracket once the bracket is secured to the surface (refer to
