Introduction 1

1 Introduction

AP-6521 Series access points are components of Motorola Solutions Wireless Controller System. An

AP-6521 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-6521 Series access point

is an enterprise class 802.11n access point, installed in minutes anywhere a CAT-5e (or better) cable

is located.

An AP-6521 Series access point utilizes a setup wizard to define its operational mode as either a

Dependent mode AP, Standalone AP or Virtual Controller AP.

AP-6521 Series access points ship with a single dual-band radio supporting the 802.11a/b/g/n radio

bands. For more information on available SKUs, refer to the following:

The AP-6521 series Access Point is approved under MODEL: NCAP-500.

Motorola Solutions recommends the access point receive power and transfer data through the same

CAT-5e (or better) Ethernet cable using a Motorola Solutions Power Injector. The Power Injector

(Part No. AP-PSBIAS-2P2-AFR) is an 802.3af PoE injector. For information, see “Power Injector

System” on page 7.

A separate power supply (Part No. PWRS-147376-01R) is also available if you do not wish to use a

Power Injector. This standard power supply just supplies power to the access point’s power connector

and does not converge power and Ethernet within a single cable connection.

AP-6521 Series Access Point Installation Guide

1.1 Document Conventions

The following graphical alerts are used in this guide to indicate notable situations:

1.2 Warnings

•Read all installation instructions and site survey reports, and verify correct equipment

installation before connecting the access point.

•Verify any device connected to this unit is properly wired and grounded.

•Verify there is adequate ventilation around the device, and ambient temperatures meet

equipment operation specifications.

NOTE Tips, hints, or special requirements that you should take note of.

CAUTION Care is required. Disregarding a caution can result in data loss or

equipment malfunction.

WARNING! Indicates a condition or procedure that could result in personal injury or

equipment damage.

Introduction 3

1.3 Site Preparation

•Consult your site survey and network analysis to determine specific equipment placement,

power drops etc.

•Assign installation responsibility to the appropriate personnel.

•Identify and document where all installed components are located.

•Ensure adequate, dust-free ventilation to all installed equipment.

•Prepare Ethernet port connections.

•Verify cabling is within the maximum 100 meter allowable length.

1.4 Package Contents

The access point ships with the following:

•One AP-6521 Series access point

•Installation Guide (This Guide)

•Rubber Wall Mount Spacers (4)

•LED light pipe and badge

•Wall mount screw and anchor kit

1.5 Features

•One RJ-45 console connector

•One RJ-45 Ethernet connector

•LED Indicators

•Safety wire tie point

•Wall mount slots

•Clips for suspended T-Bar mounting

•DC power connector

An AP-6521 Series access point has one RJ-45 connector supporting an 10/100/1000 Ethernet port

connection and requires 802.3af compliant power from an external source.

The 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.

AP-6521 Series Access Point Installation Guide

2 Hardware Installation

2.1 Installation Instructions

An AP-6521 Series access point can attach to a wall, mount under a suspended T-Bar or mount above

a ceiling. Selecting a mounting option 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.

To prepare for an installation, perform the following:

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-5e 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.

2.2 Precautions

Before installing an 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.

Hardware Installation 5

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.

2.3.1 Antenna Options

Motorola Solutions supports two antenna suites for the single radio, dual-band AP-6521 Series

access point. One antenna suite supporting the 2.4 GHz band, and another antenna suite supporting

the 5 GHz band. Select an antenna best suited to the intended operational environment of your access

point.

AP-6521 Series Access Point Installation Guide

The 2.4 GHz antenna suite includes the following models:
