Support for ExtremeWireless AP5xx Access Points

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller supports ExtremeWireless™ AP505i, AP510i/e, AP510i-1, AP560i/h/m/t/u access points. These access points support more users and internet of things (IoT) devices. In addition to both internal and external antennas, these APs support a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) antenna.
  • AP510i/e indoor, one dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz radio and one 5GHz radio.
    • Mode 1 — 2.4GHz service radio and 5GHz service radio
    • Mode 2 — 2.4/5GHz Sensor and 5GHz service radio
    • Mode 3 — 5GHz lower band service radio and 5GHz upper band service radio
    • Radio Channels:
      • Radio 1 can operate as:
        • 2.4GHz with all 2.4GHz channels
        • 5GHz lower band with 5GHz lower band channels (channels 36-64)
        • 2.4/5GHz Sensor scanning and 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels
      • Radio 2 can operate as
        • 5GHz upper band with 5GHz upper band channels (channels above 100)
        • 5GHz Full with 5GHz full channel list
        Note

        Note

        The AP510i-1 does not support IoT and the 5GHz radio does not support 160MHz operation.
  • AP505i indoor, one 2.4GHz radio and one 5GHz radio.
    • Mode 1 — 2.4GHz service radio and 5GHz service radio. Can be used as a dedicated sensor.
  • AP560i/h outdoor. The AP560i/h will follow the AP510 mode of operation depending on the power source.
    • Normal Mode
      AP560 requires AT power (25W) to operate in normal mode with full performance. The AP must be powered from one of the following scenarios:
      • Ethernet port (GE1 PoE) connected to an AT switch port and Ethernet port (GE2) not connected
      • Ethernet port (GE2 PoE) connected to an AT switch port and Ethernet port (GE1) not connected
      • Both Ethernet port (GE1 PoE) and Ethernet port (GE2 PoE) connected to an AT switch port
      • External power supply.
    • Low Power Mode
      When power source is AF (14.5W), the AP operates in Low Power mode with limited performance. The AP560 operates in Low Power mode when GE1 or GE2 is connected to AF switch port and no external power is connected. The following are AP560 Low Power Mode limitations:
      • MODE 1: dual band concurrent and MODE 2: sensor and 5GHz data forwarder:
        • Radio 1 will be limited to 2x2 and max power 16dBm
        • Radio 2 will be limited to 2x2 and max power 16dBm
      • MODE 3
        • Radio 1 will be limited to 2x2 and max power 18dBm
        • Radio 2 will be limited to 2x2 and max power 0dBm (providing no service).
      Note

      Note

      When both ports on a dual-port AP are powered, the port with the lowest power determines the power result.

      The AP Override setting Force Normal Operation can be enabled, indicating that the AP is configured to operate with the normal, full-power capacity regardless of a detected AP power restriction. This setting is intended for expert users. For more information, see Advanced Setting Overrides.

    The AP560 is offered in a product bundle that targets the installation environment. Refer to AP560i portfolio and AP560h portfolio for descriptions of each product bundle.
