Read about and view specifications and compliance information for the AP460C devices in this topic. Install the AP460C devices using this topic.

The AP460C is a Tri Radio 802.11ax access point based on advanced radio technology and is IP67 rated for harsh and extreme outdoor envir-

onments, with an extended temperature range (-40 C - +60 C). The AP460C tri-radio design delivers 802.11ax 2x2:2 and 4x4:4 data rates con-

currently on the 2.4 and 5 GHz radios, and has a third radio foradedicated dual-band sensor.

For regulatory and compliance information, see "Regulatory Compliance Statements".

Important! Change the Country Code

If youraccess point is configuredfor the WorldRegulatory Domain, it is important to set the country code to the country in which the APwill be

deployed to meet regulatory requirements and for optimal wireless operation. To do this, follow these steps:

The country code selection is for World models only and is not available to FCC, CAN, and other country-specific models. Per FCC reg-

ulations, all Wi-Fi products marketed in the United States must be set to U.S. channels only.

1. Power on the AP and allow it to find and connect to ExtremeCloudIQ. Once the APis connected it appears in the table of devices on the

Manage > Devices page.

Select the check box next to the AP, and then choose Assign Country Code from the Actions drop-down list. In the dialog box, select the

appropriate country from the drop-down list, and then click Save.

3. Uploadyour changes to the device.

AP60C Hardware Guide 3 Install the AP Mount the AP460C horizontally or vertically on a pole using the built-in brackets on the hardware, or on a solid flat surface using an accessory bracket (see "Accessories "). These devices can be installed in even the most extreme outdoor environments. The following sections describe the installation process.
PAGE 4
AP60C Hardware Guide 4 Install the Device on a Flat Surface You can Install the device on a vertical or horizontal solid flat surface using the accessory wall bracket (AH-ACC-BKT-ASM). This kit contains the mounting bracket and four bolts without washers in the plastic bag labeled "Wall Mount". You will need to provide four mounting bolts or screws and wall mount anchors that are appropriate for the wall type where you are installing the device. 1.

AP60C Hardware Guide 5 2. Drill a hole in the wall at each mark using a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screws so the screw threads will grip the wall securely. If you are not installing the device on a concrete wall, you can use threaded screws and plastic wall anchors (not supplied) to mount the device. 3. Attach the bracket to the wall using the appropriate mounting screws for the wall type. 4.

AP60C Hardware Guide 6 1. Disassemble the waterproof housing. There are four pieces: the sealing nut, the claw, a waterproof 2-part seal, and a threaded main housing body. Assemble these pieces around the Ethernet cable in the order shown here: 2. Insert the Ethernet cable through the sealing nut and claw. 3. Take the seal apart, insert the cable between the two halves and reassemble the seal. 4. Insert the seal into the claw. 5.

Component Descriptions Status Light The status light, located between the two Ethernet ports, conveys operational states for system power, firmware updates, Ethernet and wireless interface activity, and major alarms. At setup, this light cycles through the following sequence: l Solid White: The power is on and the device is operational.
