Altitude 350-2i/350-2d AP Installation Instructions

Unpacking and mounting the Altitude Access Point (AP)

The Altitude™ AP has two models:

•Altitude 350-2i: internal dual (multimode) diversity antennas

•Altitude 350-2d: dual external antennas, RP-SMA connectors

Unpack the Altitude AP from its carton. Also in the carton are:

•one wall mounting bracket

•3 screws and 3 wall plugs

•one plastic rivet (to secure Altitude AP to bracket)

For Altitude 350-2d, the dual external antennas are also included.

NOTE

For Altitude 350-2d, attach the antennas to the RP-SMA connectors in each side of the Altitude AP before mounting on its bracket.

1Mount the Altitude AP wall bracket, using 3 screws. Mount it near the LAN ethernet cable plug coming from the wall.

2Press the back of the Altitude AP onto the bracket, aligning it with the open notches in the bracket. Then slide it down until the security spring clip holds it in place.

Connecting and powering the Altitude AP

WARNING!

This device must not be connected to a LAN segment with outdoor wiring. Ensure that all cables are run correctly to avoid strain. Replace the power supply adapter immediately, if it shows any signs of damage.

NOTE

Powering up the Altitude AP initiates its automatic discovery and registration process with the Summit® WM Controller. The parameters for this process are explained in the Summit WM User Guide.

4Power up the Altitude AP in one of three ways:

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

If your network is already set up with PoE (802.3af compliant), plug in the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector in the Altitude AP.

Power Over Ethernet: Adding PoE Injector

If your network is not set up with PoE, you can provide power to the ethernet cable with a PoE injector. The PoE injector must be 802.3af compliant. The PoE injector is not provided with the Altitude AP.

Power via External Power Adaptor

An AC adaptor is not provided with the Altitude AP.

Specifications: Input: 120-240 VAC, Output: 6VDC, 1.5 Amps max.

To use an adaptor, install the Altitude AP within six feet of a wall outlet, attach the adaptor to the Altitude AP and then plug the adaptor into the wall outlet.

Security Note #1: To remove the Altitude AP, release the spring clip by inserting an Allen key (or other similar tool) into the small hole at the bottom of the bracket. Then slide the case up the bracket and lift off the Altitude AP.

[Optional]. Plug in the output of AC Power Module (if PoE is not being used in your network).

Reset button

Plug in the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port.

Use only a safety approved POE injector or a safety approved Limited Power Source (Class 2) AC adaptor.

NOTE

For installations that use Receive diversity (the default), the antennas should be pointed in the same direction. For installations that do NOT use Receive diversity, or for those that split the 802.11a and 802.11b/g radio onto different physical ports, then the antennas can be pointed in whatever direction is desired.

350-2d AP, 350-2i specifications

Extreme Networks has established itself as a leader in innovative networking solutions, and the Extreme Networks 350-2i and 350-2d Access Points (APs) exemplify the company's commitment to high-performance connectivity. These access points are designed to meet the needs of modern enterprises, providing robust wireless communication for a range of applications.

One of the standout features of the Extreme Networks 350-2i and 350-2d is their dual-band capability. Both models operate in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, enabling clients to connect seamlessly while minimizing interference and maximizing throughput. This dual-band operation is crucial for environments with dense device populations, such as offices, schools, and public venues, where connectivity demands are high.

The 350-2i model is tailored for indoor deployments, boasting support for advanced wireless standards including 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6. This technology enhances network efficiency and increases user capacity by introducing features such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and enhanced multi-user MIMO, enabling a higher number of devices to connect simultaneously without compromising performance.

On the other hand, the 350-2d model is designed for outdoor environments. It is ruggedized to withstand harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for applications in outdoor venues, stadiums, or campuses that require reliable wireless coverage in open spaces. The outdoor AP combines high transmission power with specialized antenna designs, ensuring excellent signal strength and coverage.

Both access points feature Extreme Networks' powerful cloud-based management capabilities. This allows IT administrators to manage and monitor their wireless networks from anywhere, providing real-time insights into performance and device connectivity. The intuitive interface simplifies network management, enabling rapid troubleshooting and configuration adjustments.

Security is a top priority in today's connected landscape, and the 350-2i and 350-2d incorporate various security protocols, including WPA3, to protect sensitive information and facilitate secure connections for users and devices.

Another notable characteristic of these access points is their scalability. They can be deployed independently or as part of a larger network architecture, allowing organizations to adapt their wireless infrastructure as their needs evolve. With support for various mounting options, including ceiling and wall mounts for indoor environments and pole mounts for outdoor deployments, flexibility is a key feature of the Extreme Networks 350-2 series.

In summary, the Extreme Networks 350-2i and 350-2d access points blend cutting-edge technology with scalability and robust security features. Their dual-band capabilities, cloud management, and dual deployment options make them an excellent choice for enterprises seeking to enhance their wireless networks and accommodate the growing demands of connectivity in today’s digital landscape.
