Connect Access Points

1. Connect your AP's LAN 1 or LAN 2 Ethernet port to either a switch that allows the AP to connect to the Internet, or connect to an Ethernet network port with Internet connection. Apply power to the AP using either PoE from the switch or a separate external transformer. For more information, see the product-specific Installation Guide.
   The AP discovers ExtremeCloud and gets configured automatically, typically in a few minutes. When connected, the AP starts advertising the SSIDs assigned to it, initially only Staff. If your cellphone or laptop lists this SSID as available, then the AP has connected successfully.
2. Look at the physical AP and verify that the Radio 1 and Radio 2 LEDs are solid green, which indicates that the AP is activated in the cloud.

   The following table shows the LED patterns and the associated status for ExtremeWireless APs when they are connected to cloud management.

   

   Note

   The AP7532 uses an adoption mode indicator instead of a green LED pattern to show adoption to ExtremeCLoud.

3. Log in to your ExtremeCloud administrator account at https://ezcloudx.com.
4. When you log in for the first time, the configuration wizard walks you through the initial configuration. Use the wizard to update the network security key of the predefined wireless network. Alternatively, you can exit the wizard and configure your own networks.
5. Select Monitor > Devices > Access Points and look for the device in your Devices list. If the AP is not listed in your account, contact Support. (If a WiNG AP fails to connect, try performing the steps in the troubleshooting topic first.)
   

   Note

   If an AP persistently fails or its status remains gray or red for more than 20 minutes, contact Support.
