Installation Guide 5
1 Introduction
As a standalone Access Point, an AP7131 series Access Point provides small and medium-sized businesses with a
consolidated wired and wireless networking infrastructure, all in a single device. The integrated router, gateway,
firewall, DHCP and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplify and reduce the costs associated with networking by
eliminating the need to purchase and manage multiple pieces of equipment.
The Access Point is also designed to meet the needs of large, distributed enterprises by converging the
functionality of a thick Access Point and thin access port into a single device. This mode enables the deployment
of a fully featured intelligent Access Point that can be centrally configured and managed via a Motorola Solutions
wireless switch in either corporate headquarters or a network operations center (NOC). In the event the connection
between the Access Point and the wireless switch is lost, a Remote Site Survivability (RSS) feature ensures the
delivery of uninterrupted wireless services at the local or remote site. All traffic between the adaptive Access
Points and the wireless switch is secured though an IPSec tunnel. Additionally, compatibility with Motorola
Solutions’ RF Management Suite (RFMS) allows you to centrally plan, deploy, monitor and secure large
deployments.
An AP7131N model Access Point supports the same feature set as existing AP7131 model Access Points, however
AP7131N Access Points support a three radio model (with the third radio dedicated exclusively to WIPS support).
1.1 Document Conventions

Installation Guide 7
2 Hardware Installation
An AP7131 or AP7131N Access Point installation includes mounting the Access Point, connecting the Access Point
to the network, connecting antennae and applying power. Installation procedures vary for different environments.
Both an AP7131 and AP7131N model Access Point have the following port designations:
• GE1/POE - LAN port
• GE2 - WAN Port
1. Verify the contents of the box includes the intended Access Point and accessory hardware.
2. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the
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.
4. Determine whether the Access Point is powered using a Power Injector system, combining data and
power to the Access Point’s GE1/PoE port or will be powered from a conventional power adapter
providing power only to the Access Point’s DC-48V connector.
2.1 Precautions
Before installing an AP7131 or AP7131N model Access Point:
• Verify the intended deployment location is not prone to moisture or dust.
• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.
2.2 Package Contents
Check package contents for the correct model AP7131 and applicable AP7131 accessories. Each available
configuration (at a minimum), contains:
• AP7131 or AP7131N model Access Point (accessories dependent on SKU ordered)
• AP7131 Access Point Installation Guide (this guide, supporting both AP7131 and AP7131N models)
• Wall mount and screw and anchor kit
• Accessories Bag (4 rubber feet and a LED light pipe and badge with label for above the ceiling
installations)
Contact the Motorola Solutions Support Center to report missing or improperly functioning items.
NOTE Some Access Points ship with a protective cover (facade) or a 6-element
MIMO antenna. The cover disconnects from the Access Point as
illustrated on the next page. When attached, LEDs continue to illuminate
through the cover.
8AP-7131 Access Point
2.3 Access Point Placement
For 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.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An
area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even
placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the Access Point using the following guidelines:
• Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
• Orient the Access Point antennas vertically for best reception.
• Point the Access Point antennas downward if attaching to the ceiling (external antenna models only).
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.
Installation Guide 9
2.3.1 Antenna Options
Motorola Solutions supports two antenna suites for AP7131 and AP7131N models. One antenna suite supporting
the 2.4 GHz band and another antenna suite supporting the 5 GHz band. Select an antenna model best suited to the
intended operational environment of your Access Point. The AP7131N model Access Point can be purchased in a
three radio configuration. If a three radio SKU is purchased, the Access Point ships with a single antenna, factory
connected, to the Access Point chassis (next to the existing R1-A connector). This antenna is in addition to the other
six antennas available to the Access Point’s other two radios. The single antenna supporting the AP7131N’s third
radio supports sensor mode only and can not function as a WLAN radio.
Antenna connectors for single radio model Access Point are located on the same side of the Access Point as the
LAN and WAN port connections (GE1/POE and GE2). On single radio versions, the R-SMA connectors can support
both bands and should be connected to a R-SMA dual-band antenna or an appropriate single band antenna. If
necessary a R-SMA to R-BNC adapter (Part No. 25-72178-01) can be purchased separately from Motorola
Solutions.
R1 defines the Access Point’s radio 1 antenna connectors and R2 defines radio 2 antenna connectors.
Certain Rogue AP Detection features use a radio to perform dual-band scanning. The dedicated radio should be
connected to an appropriate dual-band dipole antenna (Part No. ML-2452-APA2-01).

Access Point family, refer to the Enterprise Wireless LAN Antenna Specification Guide available at
http://supportcentral.motorolasolutions.com/support/product/manuals.do.
2.3.2 Power Injector System
The Access Point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/PoE 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. 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.
The Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-1P3-AFR) is a high power POE Injector delivering up to 30 watts. The
Access Point can only use a Power Injector when connecting the unit to the Access Point’s GE1/POE port. The Power
Injector is separately ordered and not shipped with an existing AP SKU.
An AP7131 and AP7131N can also be used with the 3af power injector (AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR). However, AP
functionality is limited when powered by an AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR, since the AP has Ethernet connectivity limited to
only the GE1 port.
The Motorola Solutions Access Point Power Supply (Part No. 50-14000-247R) is not included with the Access Point
and is orderable separately as an accessory. If the Access Point is providing both POE power over the GE1/POE
connection, as well as the 50-14000-247R power supply concurrently, the Access Point will source power from the
50-14000-247R supply only. Disconnecting AC power from the 50-14000-247R, causes the Access Point to re-boot
before sourcing power from the POE power injector. If the Access Point is operating using injector supplied power,
the Access Point will not automatically reboot if an AC adapter is connected. The Access Point continues to operate
with power supplied from the AC adapter without change to the Access Point’s operating configuration. If using
adapter supplied power and a change to the Access Point’s operating configuration is warranted (for example, if
needing to access the GE2 port), the Access Point needs to be manually rebooted by the customer.
NOTE Single radio model Access Points always operate using a full power
configuration. The power management configurations described in the table
below only apply to dual radio models. For detailed information on the power
management options available to the AP7131, refer to the Motorola Solutions
WiNG 5.4 Access Point System Reference Guide available at:
http://supportcentral.motorolasolutions.com/support/product/manuals.do.
CAUTION The Access Point supports any standards-based compliant power
source (including non-Motorola Solutions power sources). However,
using the wrong solution (including a POE system used on a legacy
Motorola Solutions Access Point) could either limit functionality or
severely damage the Access Point and void the product warranty.
!
12 AP-7131 Access Point
A separate Power Injector is required for each Access Point comprising the network.
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 data port.
To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and an Access Point:
1. Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (110VAC to 220VAC).
2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Injector Data In
connector.
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.
!
!
Installation Guide 13
3. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the Access
Point’s GE1/POE port.
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and Access Point does not
exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
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.
2.4 Mounting the Access Point
Both the AP7131 and AP7131N can attach to a wall, mount under a suspended T-Bar or above a ceiling (plenum or
attic) following the same installation instructions. Choose one of the following mounting options based on the
physical environment of the coverage area. Do not mount the Access Point in a location that has not been approved
in a site survey.
2.4.1 Wall Mounting
Wall mounting requires hanging the Access Point along its width (or length) using the pair of slots on the bottom
of the unit and the Access Point mounting template (on the next page) for the screws.
The hardware and tools (customer provided) required to install the Access Point on a wall consists of:
• Two Phillips (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm Type D Self-Tapping screws: (ANSI Standard)

2.4.3 Above the Ceiling (Plenum) Installation
An above the ceiling installation requires placing the Access Point above a suspended ceiling and installing the
provided light pipe under the ceiling tile for viewing the rear panel status LEDs of the unit. An above the ceiling
installation enables installations compliant with drop ceilings, suspended ceilings and industry standard tiles from
.625 to .75 inches thick.
The mounting hardware required to install the Access Point above a ceiling consists of:
• Light pipe
• Badge for light pipe
• Decal for badge
• Safety wire (strong recommended)
• Security cable (optional)
To install the Access Point above a ceiling:
1. If possible, remove the adjacent ceiling tile from its frame and place it aside.
2. If required, install a safety wire, between 1.5mm (.06in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.) in diameter, in the ceiling
space.
3. If required, install and attach a security cable to the Access Point’s lock port.
4. Mark a point on the finished side of the tile where the light pipe is to be located.
5. Create a light pipe path hole in the target position on the ceiling tile.
NOTE Both the AP7131 and AP7131N are Plenum rated to UL2043 and NEC1999
to support above the ceiling installations. To ensure UL compliance and
proper Access Point operation within the Air Handling Plenum, the
Access Point must be installed with the bottom surface of the unit in
contact with the un-finished surface of the ceiling tile. This will facilitate
the positioning of the light pipe (described in the following pages)
through the ceiling tile.
CAUTION Motorola Solutions does not recommend mounting the Access Point
directly to any suspended ceiling tile with a thickness less than
12.7mm (0.5in.) or a suspended ceiling tile with an unsupported span
greater than 660mm (26in.). Motorola Solutions strongly recommends
fitting the Access Point with a safety wire suitable for supporting the
weight of the device. The safety wire should be a standard ceiling
suspension cable or equivalent steel wire between 1.59mm (.062in.)
and 2.5mm (.10in.) in diameter.

22 AP-7131 Access Point
2.5 LED Indicators
Both AP7131 and AP7131N model Access Point have six LEDs on the top of the Access Point housing, and one
optional LED light pipe at the bottom of the unit. However, an AP7131 model Access Point does not use LED 6, as
no third radio is available. Five LEDs illuminate (on top of the housing) for dual radios models and four illuminate
for single radio models.
The Access Point utilizes two (different colored) lights below each LED. Only one light displays within a LED at any
given time. Every light within each LED is exercised during startup to allow the user to see if an LED is
non-functional. The LEDs turn on and off while rotating around in a circle. Since two LEDs feed each light pipe, the
pattern is from left to right, then right to left.
The LEDs on the top housing of the Access Point are clearly visible in wall and below ceiling installations. The top
housing LEDs have the following display and functionality:
NOTE The LED blink rate is proportional to activity. The busiest traffic
corresponds to the fastest blink, while the slowest traffic corresponds to
slowest blink.
NOTE Depending on how the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz radios are configured, the LEDs
will blink at different intervals between amber and yellow (5 GHz radio)
and emerald and yellow (2.4 GHz radio).

3 Basic Access Point Configuration
Once the Access Point is installed and powered on, complete the following steps to get the device up and running
and access management functions:
1. Attach an Ethernet cable from the Access Point to a controller with an 802.3af compatible power source
or use the PWRS-14000-148R power supply to supply power to the Access Point (once fully cabled).
If your host system is a DHCP server, an IP address is automatically assigned to the Access Point and can
be used for device connection. However, if a DHCP server is not available, you’ll need to derive the IP
address from the Access Point MAC address. Using this method, the last two bytes of the MAC address
become the last two octets of the IP address. For example:
MAC address - 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A
Zero-Config IP address - 169.254.240.10
To derive the Access Point’s IP address using its MAC address:
a. Open the Windows calculator be selecting Start > All Programs > Accessories > Calculator. This menu
path may vary slightly depending on your version of Windows.
b. With the Calculator displayed, select View > Scientific. Select the Hex radio button.
c. Enter a hex byte of the Access Point’s MAC address. For example, F0.
d. Select the Dec radio button. The calculator converts F0 into 240. Repeat this process for the last
Access Point MAC address octet.
2. Point the Web browser to the Access Point’s IP address. The following login screen displays.
3. Enter the default username admin in the Username field.
4. Enter the default password motorola in the Password field.
