  • Page 4: Introduction

    The AP-8132 is a plenum rated, 3x3:3 802.11n access point utilizing two 802.11abgn radios. An AP-8132 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 AP-8132 access points, a Standalone access point or a Dependent mode access point managed by its connected controller.

  • Page 7: Hardware Installation

    Hardware Installation 2.1 Installation Instructions An AP-8132 access point mounts either on a wall (with M4 x 25 pan head screws and wall anchor - or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. Once the AP-8132 is installed with facade and cabled, the cables (Ethernet and module connections) should not be visible when looking directly at the unit (ceiling and wall mounts).

  • Page 8: Power Injector System

    2.4 Power Injector System An AP-8132 model access point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/POE (LAN) port. When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the Ethernet infrastructure.
  • Page 9 A separate Power Injector is required for each AP-8132 access point comprising the network. The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall mounted using the power injector’s wall mounting key holes.

  • Page 10: Wall Mount Installation

    A wall mount deployment requires hanging the AP-8132 access point along its width or length using two of three slots on the bottom of the unit. The AP-8132 can be mounted on to any plaster, wood or cement wall surface using the provided wall anchors.
  • Page 11 Installation Guide 2.5.1 Wall Mount Procedure - New Installation This section describes a new AP-8132 installation with no previous access point existing on the intended wall surface. 1. Place the access point against the wall, ensuring the access point’s Motorola Solutions “bat wings” logo is in the correct orientation.
