Introduction 11 IntroductionThe AP-6511 Access Point, a component of MotorolaSolutions Wireless Controller System, links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n devices to the controller, enabling the growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective alternative to standard access points. The AP-6511 is an enterprise class 802.11n access point, installed in minutes anywhere a CAT-5 (or better) cable is located. The AP-6511’s mechanical design is optimized for installation over a standard CAT-5 (or better) wall jack. The AP does not protrude into the wall cavity, allowing for an efficient heat transfer and a universal installation over a standard Telco wiring plate. The AP-6511’s modular design allows the end-user to add switched Ethernet ports as-needed, and attach a standard keystone or Leviton QuickPort® modular connector to the wall plate.The AP-6511 access point ships with a single dual-band radio supporting the 802.11a/b/g/n radio bands.The AP6511 receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable. There is no additional power supply required. An 802.3af PoE Ethernet switch or mid span power injector is required.The AP-6511 can be ordered for US deployment (AP-6511-60010-US) or ordered for deployment outside of the US (AP-6511-60010-WR).1.1 Document ConventionsThe following graphical alerts are used in this document to indicate notable situations: 1.2 Warnings•Read all installation instructions and site survey reports, and verify correct equipment installation before connecting the AP-6511 access point.NOTE Tips, hints, or special requirements that you should take note of.CAUTION Care is required.

Introduction 3The access point contains runtime firmware which enables the unit to boot after either a power up or a watchdog reset. The runtime firmware on the access point can be updated via the Ethernet interface.The front of the AP-6511 has an access cover that can be removed to expose an additional connector. A three port RJ-45 Ethernet expansion module connects to the hidden header and snaps onto the AP-6511 in place of the access cover.Remove the AP-6511’s access cover by inserting a long pointed tool into the circular hole (opening) on the bottom of the AP-6511. Pull the access cover up and away from the AP-6511. Reverse the procedure to install the expansion module.The Ethernet expansion module has three ports labeled FE2, FE3 and FE4.The expansion module (KT-6511-0000D-WR) is a separately orderable component from Motorola Solutions.

AP-6511 Access Point Installation Guide 42 Hardware Installation2.1 Installation InstructionsAn AP-6511 access point mounts either on a wall, under a table or over a Telco Box. The AP-6511 is not plenum rated. The AP-6511 is mounted to a wall or Telco Box so the mounting plate is flush with the mounting surface.The AP-6511 snaps on to the mounting plate without the use of tools or fastening hardware. Removal of the AP-6511 from the mounting plate can be accomplished without the use of a tool. A mounting lock screw is provided to help ensure a tamper resistant installation. To prepare for an AP-6511 installation, perform the following:1. Verify the contents of the box includes the intended AP-6511 access point model and accessory hardware. 2. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the AP-6511 access point.3. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a PoE compatible device and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure there is sufficient cable slack to perform the installation steps.2.2 PrecautionsBefore installing an AP-6511 access point:• Verify the intended AP-6511 deployment location is not prone to moisture or dust.• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.NOTE The provided metal mounting plate is fastened to an existing standard Telco in-wall box. The box is customer provided within the customer building structure, and can be either plastic or metal in composition. Screws and other mounting hardware are not included.NOTE Once installed onto the mounting plate, the assembly can resist a minimum of 10 lbs of force before unit breakage or accidental disassembly.

Hardware Installation 52.3 Access Point PlacementFor optimal performance, install the access point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as needed to improve coverage.To maximize the access point’s radio coverage area, Motorola Solutions recommends conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the access point.2.4 Power Injector SystemWhen 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. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each access point location. The Power Injector merges power and Ethernet into one cable, reducing the burden of installation and allowing optimal access point placement in respect to the intended coverage area.A Motorola Solutions Power Injector (AP-PSBIAS-2P2-AFR) is recommended as the 802.3af compatible power supply for the AP-6511. The Power Injector is capable of providing 12.95 Watts up to 100 meters. The Power Injector is separately ordered and not shipped with the AP-6511. A separate Power Injector is required for each access point comprising the network.The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Injector receives power and is ready for device connection and operation as soon as AC power is applied. Refer to the Installation Guide shipped with the Power Injector for a description of the device’s LEDs.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. The following guidelines should be adhered to before cabling the Power Injector to an Ethernet source and an access point:• Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector.• Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.• The Power Injector isn’t a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet signal. For optimal performance, ensure the Power Injector is placed as close as possible to the Ethernet switch. This will allow the AP-6511 to be deployed away from power drops.

AP-6511 Access Point Installation Guide 6• Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and AP-6511 access point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).2.5 Wall Mount InstallationTo support wall mount installations, the metal mounting plate (provided with the AP-6511) is fastened to a flat wall surface. The wall should be of gypsum board, plaster, wood or concrete in composition. To install an AP-6511 model access point to a wall surface:1. Attach the metal mounting plate (shipped with the AP-6511) to a wall surface at the desired deployment location. CAUTION To avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable POE from a wired controller port connected to an access point if mid-span power sourcing equipment (PSE) is used between the two, regardless of the manufacturer.CAUTION Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC cable with an appropriate ground connection approved for the country of operation.NOTE Motorola Solutions recommends the following customer supplied mounting accessories an AP-6511 wall mount installation:2, screws, #6 x 2.00 inch pan head2, wall anchors suitable for the #6 screws!!
