The Locking Notch will be used with the Mounting Bracket to help secure the UniFi AP. (This is described further in the Mounting Bracket section.)
Reset
The Reset button serves two functions for the UniFi AP: Restart Press and release the Reset button quickly. Restore to Factory Default Settings Press and hold the Reset button for more than five seconds.
Ethernet
This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server. Power can be provided by a Ubiquiti UniFi Switch with PoE or Gigabit PoE adapter (included with single-pack only).
Cable Feed Plug
If your Ethernet cable feeds along the mounting surface, remove the Cable Feed Plug.

Mounting Bracket

Locking Tab

During installation, the Locking Tab on the Mounting Bracket moves from the Initial Position to the Final Position, where the Locking Tab fits securely into the Locking Notch on the UniFi AP to help prevent theft.


Initial Position	Final Position

	Note: If you need to remove the UniFi AP from the Mounting Bracket, insert a paper clip in the Slot to release the Locking Tab and turn the UniFi AP counterclockwise.

Hardware Installation

The device can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Perform the steps for the appropriate installation.

Wall Mount

Optional

Ceiling Mount

Powering the UniFi AP

Use a UniFi Switch with PoE or a Gigabit PoE adapter for power.

Connecting to a UniFi Switch with PoE

Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP directly to a PoE port on the UniFi Switch with PoE.

Connecting to the PoE Adapter

Connect the Ethernet cable from the device to the POE port of the PoE adapter.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port of the PoE adapter.
Connect the Power Cord to the adapter, and then plug the Power Cord into a power outlet.

Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)

Remove the PoE Mounting Bracket from the adapter, place the bracket at the desired location, and mark the two holes.
Pre-drill the holes if necessary, and secure the bracket using two fasteners (not included).
