Introduction 1 Introduction As a standalone access point, an AP-7131N-FGR 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 devices.
2 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point: Installation Guide 1.1 Document Conventions The following graphical alerts are used in this document to indicate notable situations: NOTE ! Tips, hints, or special requirements that you should take note of. CAUTION WARNING! Care is required. Disregarding a caution can result in data loss or equipment malfunction. Indicates a condition or procedure that could result in personal injury or equipment damage. 1.
Hardware Installation 2 Hardware Installation An AP-7131N-FGR 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. The AP-7131N-FGR model access point has the following port designations: • • GE1/POE - LAN port GE2 - WAN Port 2.
4 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point: Installation Guide Contact the Motorola 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. 2.
Hardware Installation To maximize the access point’s radio coverage area, Motorola recommends conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the access point. 2.4.1 Antenna Options Motorola supports two antenna suites for AP-7131N-FGR. 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.
6 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point: Installation Guide 2.4.2 Power Injector System The AP-7131N-FGR 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. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each access point location.
Hardware Installation 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.
8 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point: Installation Guide 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. 3. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the access point’s GE1/POE port. NOTE Cabling the Power Injector to WAN port (GE2) renders the AP non-operational.
Hardware Installation 9
10 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point: Installation Guide To mount the access point on a wall using the provided template: 1. Xerox copy the template (on the previous page) to a blank piece of paper. Do not reduce or enlarge the scale of the template. ! CAUTION If printing the mounting template (on the previous page) from an electronic PDF, dimensionally confirm the template by measuring each value for accuracy. 2. Tape the template to the wall mounting surface.
Hardware Installation 11. Cable the access point using either the Power Injector solution or an approved line cord and power supply. For Motorola Power Injector installations: a.

Attach the power adapter cable into the power connector on the access point. e. Attach the power supply line cord to a power supply.
14 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point: Installation Guide 11. The access point is ready to configure. For information on basic access point device configuration, see “Configuring “Basic” Device Settings” on page 25. NOTE 2.5.3 If the access point is utilizing remote management antennas, a wire cover can be used to provide a clean finished look to the installation. Contact Motorola for more information.
Hardware Installation NOTE The AP-7131N-FGR is Plenum rated to UL2043 and NEC1999 to support above the ceiling installations. To ensure UL compliance and proper 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.
16 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point: Installation Guide 5. Create a light pipe path hole in the target position on the ceiling tile. 6. Use a drill to make a hole in the tile the approximate size of the access point LED light pipe. ! CAUTION Motorola recommends care be taken not to damage the finished surface of the ceiling tile when creating the light pipe hole and installing the light pipe. 7. Remove the light pipe’s rubber stopper (from the access point) before installing the light pipe. 8.
Hardware Installation 13. Align the ceiling tile into its former ceiling space. 14. Cable the access point using either the Power Injector solution or an approved line cord and power supply. For Motorola Power Injector installations: a. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Injector Data In connector. b. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the access point’s GE1/POE port. c.
18 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point: Installation Guide 2.6 LED Indicators An AP-7131N-FGR access point has six LEDs on the top of the access point housing, and one optional LED light pipe at the bottom of the unit. However, an AP-7131N-FGR model access point does not use LED 6, as no third radio is available. Five LEDs illuminate (on top of the housing) for dual radio AP-7131N-FGR models. The access point utilizes two (different colored) lights below each LED.
