Preparing for installation Safety recommendations CAUTION: Install the AP under instruction of professional engineers. Read the following safety recommendations before installation. To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read the following safety recommendations before installing the AP. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. Take adequate safety measures to avoid injury and AP damage. The installation site has a flat and dry ground and anti-slip measures are in place. Keep the AP clean and dust-free. Do not place the AP in a moist area and avoid liquid surrounding the AP. Keep the AP and installation tools away from walkways. Temperature and humidity requirements Item Operating temperature (indoor) Storage temperature Specification 0 C to 45 C (32 F to 113 F) 40 C to +70 C ( 40 F to +158 F) Operating humidity (noncondensing) 5% to 95% Accessories provided with the AP x 2 x 1 Wall anchor kit (expansion anchor and screw) T6 Torx screw x 2 x 1 Ceiling mount kit (pan-head screw, washer, and nut) AC/DC adapter 3

Installation tools and equipment When installing the AP, you may need the following tools and equipment. Prepare these tools and equipment yourself. Phillips screwdriver T10 Torx screwdriver Rubber hammer Percussion drill (with drills) Marker Ladder 4

Installing the AP Figure 3 Installation flowchart Checking before installation Before installing an AP, perform the following tasks: Power the AP and connect the AP to the network. Examine the LEDs to verify that the AP can operate correctly. For more information about the LEDs, see "Appendix LEDs and ports." Verify that cabling has been completed at the installation site. Record the AP MAC address and serial number marked at the rear of the AP for future use. Determining the installation position Determine the installation position by observing the following principles: Few obstacles such as walls exist between the AP and the clients. The AP is far away from electronic devices (such as microwave oven) that might generate radio frequency (RF) noise. The AP does not hinder people's daily work and life. The place is not water seeping, water soaking, and condensing. 5

Installing the AP You can only install the AP indoors. Mounting the AP on a wall 1. Mark two installation points on the wall, as shown in Figure 4. Drill holes at the marked points on the wall. Figure 4 Marking two installation points on the wall 2. Attach the wall anchor kit to the wall: a. Insert an expansion anchor into each hole, and use a rubber hammer to tap the expansion anchor until the anchor is all flush with the wall surface. b. Fasten the screw into each expansion anchor. Do not fasten the screw all the way into the anchor and leave 2.5 mm (0.10 in) to 4.5 mm (0.18 in) of the screw exposed. 6

Figure 5 Attaching the wall anchor kit to the wall (1) Expansion anchor (2) Screw 3. Attach the AP to the wall: a. Align the mounting holes in the AP with the screws, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 6. b. Slide the AP down to secure the AP in place by using the screws, as shown by callout 2 in Figure 6. 7

Figure 6 Attaching the AP to the wall 4. Align the T6 security Torx screw with the screw hole in the AP right. Use the T10 Torx screwdriver to fasten the T6 Torx screw. See Figure 7. 8

Figure 7 Attaching the T6 security Torx screw to the AP Mounting the AP on a ceiling IMPORTANT: The ceiling for installing the AP must be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) in thickness, and can bear a load of 5 kg (11.02 lb). H3C recommends that you reinforce the ceiling by using boards if the ceiling is not strong enough. To install the AP on a ceiling: 1. Mark two installation points on the ceiling, as shown in Figure 4. 2. Drill holes with a diameter of 5.0 mm (0.20 in) at the marked points, as shown in Figure 8. 9

Figure 8 Drilling holes in the ceiling 3. Insert a pan head screw through each hole in the ceiling and fasten the washer and nut to the screw, as shown in Figure 9. Do not fasten the pan head screws tightly to the ceiling and leave 2.5 mm (0.10 in) to 4.5 mm (0.18 in) for hanging the AP. Figure 9 Attaching the ceiling mount kit to the ceiling 4. Connect the AP to the LAN by using Ethernet cables. 5. Attach the AP to the ceiling: a. Align the mounting holes of the AP with the screws, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 10. b. Slide the AP forward to secure the AP in place by using the screws, as shown by callout 2 in Figure 10. c. Align the T6 security Torx screw with the screw hole in the AP right, as shown by callout 3 in Figure 10. Use the T10 Torx screwdriver to fasten the T6 Torx screw. 10

Figure 10 Attaching the AP to the ceiling 3 1 2 6. Verify that the AP is securely installed to prevent it from falling off. Powering the AP You can power the AP by using local power. Before you connect the AP to the local power supply, make sure the local power supply is stable. The local power supply for the AP must meet the requirements described in Table 2. Table 2 Power specifications for the AP Power supply system Voltage Frequency Single-phase three-wire system 100 V to 240 V 50/60 Hz NOTE: If the local power supply is not stable in voltage, use voltage adjusting or controlling device to ensure that the voltage fluctuation is in the acceptable range. To ensure uninterrupted services, use a UPS. Connecting the AP to the local power supply Before connecting the AP to the local AC power supply, make sure the local AC power supply is reliably grounded. You can power the AP by using an AC/DC adapter. Use the AC/DC adapter to connect the power port of the AP to the local power supply. Table 3 AC/DC adapter specifications Item Input Specification 100 VAC to 240 VAC 11

Item Specification Output +12 V at 1 A Figure 11 Connecting the AP to the local power supply (1) Power port (2) AC/DC adapter (3) Power source After you connect the AP to the power supply, verify the AP operation by examining the LEDs on the AP. For more information about the LEDs, see "Appendix LEDs and ports." Connecting the AP to the network For Internet or MAN access, connect the Ethernet port on the AP to an Ethernet port on an Ethernet switch, and then verify that the AP has been connected to the network. When the AP operates as a fit AP, execute the display wlan ap all command on the AC that connects to the fit AP. If the AP status is R/M, the AP is connected to the network. <AC> display wlan ap all Total Number of APs configured : 1 Total Number of configured APs connected : 1 Total Number of auto APs connected : 0 AP Profiles State : I = Idle, J = Join, JA = JoinAck, IL = ImageLoad C = Config, R = Run, KU = KeyUpdate, KC = KeyCfm -------------------------------------------------------- AP Name State Model Serial-ID -------------------------------------------------------- ap1 R/M WA4320-ACN-PI 219801A0T59157G00010 -------------------------------------------------------- When the AP operates as a fit AP, execute the ping command on the fat AP to ping the uplink network device. If the ping operation succeeds, the AP is connected to the network successfully. 12

Logging in to the AP IMPORTANT: The AP is typically installed on a high position. H3C recommends that you log in to and configure the AP before installation. When the AP acts as a fat AP, you can log in to the AP through Telnet or Web. Before you log in to the fat AP through Telnet or Web, obtain the IP address of the AP first. By default, Telnet login and Web login are enabled. You can log in to the AP through Telnet or Web by using the following default login information: Username admin. Password h3capadmin. IP address of VLAN-interface 1 of the AP 192.168.0.50 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If the default IP address is changed, contact the administrator to get a new IP address. 13
