Safety recommendations
|
|
WARNING! Only professional technical personnel can install and remove the AP and its accessories. You must read all safety instructions carefully before working with the AP. |
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.
· To avoid bodily injury and device damage, take adequate safety measures.
· Place the AP in a dry and flat location and take anti-slip measures.
· Keep the AP clean and dust-free.
· Do not place the AP in a moist area and avoid liquid intrusion.
· Keep the AP and installation tools away from walkways.
Site preparation
Before installing the AP, examine the installation site and make sure the AP will operate in a favorable environment. Make sure the temperature and humidity at the installation site meet the requirements in Table1-1.

Pre-installation tasks
Before installing the AP, perform the following tasks:
· Power on the AP and connect the AP to the network. Examine the LEDs to verify that the AP is operating correctly. For information about the LEDs, see "LEDs."
· Record the MAC address and serial number of the AP for future use.
Determining the installation position
Determine the installation position by observing the following principles:
· As few obstacles (for example, walls) as possible exist between the AP and 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.
Mounting the AP
The AP can be installed only indoors. You can mount the AP on a wall or on a ceiling.
Mounting brackets
The AP comes with an AP bracket and a wall (ceiling) bracket. To mount the AP on a wall or a ceiling, attach the AP bracket to the AP, and attach the wall (ceiling) bracket to the wall or ceiling.

Mounting the AP on a wall
1. Align the guide pins on the AP bracket with the guide holes in the AP, and use the M4 × 10 screw to attach the AP bracket to the AP.
Figure2-4 Attaching the AP bracket to the AP
2. Mark the installation holes on the wall by using the wall bracket.
Figure2-5 Marking the installation holes on the wall
3. Drill two holes with a diameter of 5 mm (0.20 in) and a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in) in the marked locations.
Figure2-6 Drilling holes in the wall
4. Insert a screw anchor into each hole, and tap the screw anchor by using a rubber hammer until it is all flush with the wall surface.
Figure2-7 Hammering wall anchors into holes
5. Align the installation holes in the wall bracket with the holes in the wall, and use screws to attach the wall bracket to the wall.
Figure2-8 Attaching the wall bracket to the wall
6. Align the AP with the wall bracket in the direction as shown Figure2-9, and rotate the AP clockwise until it clicks into place.
Figure2-9 Attaching the AP to the wall bracket
Mounting the AP on a ceiling
|
|
CAUTION: 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). If the ceiling is not strong enough, use boards to reinforce the ceiling as a best practice. |
1. Align the guide pins on the AP bracket with the guide holes in the AP, and use a M4 × 10 screw to attach the AP bracket to the AP, as shown in Figure2-4.
2. Remove the ceiling tile and use the ceiling bracket to mark the installation holes on the ceiling tile. Drill two holes with a diameter of 5 mm (0.20 in) in the marked positions.
Figure2-10 Drilling holes in the ceiling tile
3. Thread pan-head screws through the installation holes in the ceiling bracket and into the holes in the ceiling. Fasten washers and nuts at the other side of the ceiling to attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling.
Figure2-11 Attaching the ceiling bracket to the ceiling
4. Align the AP with the ceiling bracket in the direction as shown in Figure2-12, and rotate the AP clockwise until it clicks into place.
|
|
CAUTION: Verify that the AP is securely seated over the ceiling bracket. |

Powering on the AP
You can supply power to the AP by using a power adapter or through 802.3at-compliant PoE.
Powering on the AP through PoE sets the MIMO mode to 1×1 and disables the USB port and disconnected Ethernet port. You can adjust the MIMO mode or bring up the ports as needed.
Prerequisites
Make sure the local power source or PSE is reliably grounded.
Connecting the PoE power supply
Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on the AP to a port on a switch that supports PoE.
Figure2-13 Connecting the PoE power supply
Connecting a power adapter
Use a power adapter to connect the AP to a local power source. The AP does not come with a power adapter. Purchase one as needed.
Table2-1 describes the power adapter specifications.

Verifying the connection
After connecting the AP to a power source, examine the AP LED to verify the connection. For more information about the AP LED, see "LEDs."
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. The AP can operate as a fit AP and all AP settings are configured on the AC.
To verify network connectivity, execute the display wlan ap all command on the AC. If the AP status is R/M, the AP has been connected to the network.
