2 Installing the ICX420GAP Series AP

ICX420GAP Series can be installed indoor using one of two methods:

Wall hanging installation

T-keel installation

Wall InstallationTo mount the Access Point on the wall, use the supporting expansion screw tubes and

screws for wall mounting. The expansion screw tubes and screws can be found in the

accessory bag.

When installing using the wall mounting method, please connect the Ethernet cable

to the AP first BEFORE mounting the AP on the wall bracket.

1. Connect the AP to the wired LAN by using the cable

2. Mark the all positions of two rear holes on the AP making sure they line up. The

distance between the holes is 65 mm (2.55 inches). Then punch out the two holes

with the impact drill;

3. Insert the expansion bolt into the holes and use a rubber hammer to make sure the

expansion tube is seated properly into the hole.

4. Screw the screws in the two plastic expansion screw tubes. Please do not screw

them in the tubes completely, leave up to 3-5 mm (.2 inches) away from the wall;

5. Line up the two rear holes on the AP with the wall screws.

6. After hanging the AP, push the AP down to lock the AP on the wall. The installation

steps are shown below:

Validation check before powering on the APAfter installing the AP, the user should check the device before powering on for the first

time:

If using local power for the AP, please ensure the power is connected and

grounded.

When AP is used with an IEEE 802.3af/at standard PoE power source,

please ensure the power is connected per manufacturer’s specifications.

Power-over-Ethernet and PortsUser can use the Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet interface of the AP and the

switch which supports PoE function to power to the AP.

ICX420GAP series adopts the 802.3af/802.3at PoE power supply. When the USB is not

used, it adopts the 802.3af PoE power supply; if the USB is in use, it i s

mandato ry to use 802.3at PoE power source. The device provides two Ethernet

interfaces of LAN1 and LAN2. Only LAN1 provides PoE power function as shown below.

The marks of the two interfaces are LAN1 and LAN2 respectively. When the network

cable is plugged in, please plug the PoE cable in the LAN1.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

Wireless Distribution System or WDS, allows for interconnection between access points,

within an 802.11 network, without the need for a wired connection between them. A

significant advantage of WDS is that it preserves the MAC addresses of client frames

across the wireless links between access points. WDS is also valuable because it can

reduce cabling requirements by only needing a single access point (the Root or Base) to

be connected via a wired connection into the network.

The ICX420GAP supports the WDS feature while in FAT (standalone) mode without

being connected to a controller. This section covers the configuration options for that AP

ICX420GAP Manual

35

mode. While in WDS mode, the ICX420GAP uses either the 2.4GHz band to connect to

another WDS-supported AP called the Root or Base AP which has a direct wired link to

the network. The AP that has connectivity to the wired uplink is called the Root AP, while

the AP that is being connected to bridge the traffic over from its clients is called a Satellite

AP.
