1 Introduction

The AP6562 access point, a component of the Motorola Solutions wireless controller system, links wireless
802.11abgn devices, enabling the growth of your wireless network with a cost effective alternative to standard
access points. The AP6562 access point provides multiple deployment options.
The AP6562 access point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable.
An 802.3at Ethernet switch or power supply (specifically rated for the AP6562) is required. Motorola Solutions
recommends the AP-PSBIAS-7161-US or AP-PSBIAS-7161-WW outdoor rated power supply
An AP6562 model access point uses WiNG 5 software as its onboard operating system. The access point's unique
WiNG 5 software enables the access point to function as either a Virtual Controller AP capable of adopting and
managing up to 24 additional AP6562 access points or a Standalone access point managed by its connected
controller.
