Pre-installation tasks

Before installing the AP, perform the following tasks:

· Connect the AP to a power source and the network. Examine the LEDs to verify that the AP is operating correctly. For information about AP LEDs, see "Appendix B LEDs and ports"

· Record the MAC address and serial number at the rear of the AP for future use.

· Make sure you have completed cabling at the installation site.

· The AP is typically installed on a high position. As a best practice, access and configure the AP before installing it.

· If a cable is routed outdoors, make sure a lighting arrester is attached to the AP port. Prepare a lighting arrester yourself as needed.

Determining the installation position

Determine the installation position by observing the following principles:

· Few obstacles such as wall 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

IMPORTANT:

· Before mounting the AP on a wall or ceiling, connect cables to the AP.

· Install an M3 × 23.5 security screw as required.

The AP can be installed only indoors. You can mount the AP on a wall or a ceiling.

Mounting the AP on a wall

1. Place the mounting bracket against the wall and mark the installation holes on the wall.

Figure2-3 Marking the installation holes on the wall

2. Drill three holes with a diameter of 6 mm (0.24 in) and a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in) at the marked locations, as shown in Figure2-4.

Figure2-4 Drilling holes in the wall

3. Insert a screw anchor into each hole, and tap the screw anchor with a rubber hammer until it is all flush with the wall surface, as shown in Figure2-5.

Figure2-5 Hammering the screw anchor into the wall

4. Thread the M3 × 23.5 security screw through the security hole in the mounting bracket. Make sure the screw does not block the keyhole slot.

Figure2-6 Inserting the security screw

5. Insert the screws through the installation holes in the mounting bracket into the holes in the wall. Fasten the screws to secure the mounting bracket to the wall, as shown in Figure2-7.

Figure2-7 Attaching the mounting bracket to the wall

6. Position the four pegs at the AP rear into the keyhole slots in the mounting bracket and then slide the AP down until it clicks into place, as shown in Figure2-8.

Figure2-8 Attaching the AP to the mounting bracket

7. Use a security Torx screwdriver to fasten the M3 × 23.5 security screw.

Figure2-9 Fastening the M3 × 23.5 security screw

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 you must install the AP on a ceiling not strong enough, use boards to reinforce the ceiling.

The installation method for the M3 × 23.5 security screw is similar when the AP is mounted on the wall and on the ceiling.

To mount the AP on a ceiling:

1. Remove the ceiling tile. Place the mounting bracket against the ceiling tile and mark the installation holes on the ceiling tile.

2. Drill three holes with a diameter of 6 mm (0.24 in) at the marked positions, as shown in Figure2-10.

Figure2-10 Drilling holes in the ceiling tile

3. Thread the pan-head screws through the installation holes in the mounting bracket and into the holes in the ceiling tile. Fasten washers and nuts at the other side of the ceiling to secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling, as shown in Figure2-11.

Figure2-11 Attaching the mounting bracket to the ceiling

4. Connect an Ethernet cable to the uplink PoE+ port on the AP. Position the four pegs at the AP rear into the keyhole slots in the bracket, and then slide the AP until it sits securely in the keyhole slots.

Figure2-12 Figure 16 Attaching the AP to the mounting bracket (UAP662-E)

5. (Optional.) You can use a cable tie to secure the cable before attaching the AP to the mounting bracket. First thread the cable tie through the auxiliary hole in the mounting bracket, leaving the cable tie unfastened, and then adjust the cable length and fasten the cable tie to secure the cable.

Figure2-13 Using a cable tie to secure the cable (UAP662-E)

6. Verify that the AP is securely installed to prevent it from falling off.

Connecting the AP to a power source

You can supply power to the AP by using a local power source or through 802.3af/802.3at PoE as required. Before powering the AP., make sure the local power source or the power sourcing equipment is reliably grounded.

Connecting a PoE power source

• For the UAP662-E, use an Ethernet cable to connect the GE/PoE+ port on the switch to the GE/PoE+ port on the AP.

• For the UAP672-E, use an Ethernet cable to connect the 2.5GE/PoE+ port on the switch to the 2.5GE/PoE+ port on the AP.

Figure2-14 Powering the AP through PoE (UAP662-E)

Connecting a local power source

You can use an AC/DC power adapter to connect the AP to a local power source. No power adapter is provided with the AP. Prepare one yourself as required. Table2-1 describes the power adapter specifications.

Table2-1 Power adapter specifications

Item	Specification
Input	100 VAC to 240 VAC
Output	12V/1.5A
Output power	≥18W

Figure2-15 Using a power adapter to connect the AP to a local power source

Check after power-on

Examine the LEDs on the AP after you power on it to verify that the AP is operating correctly. For more information about the LEDs, see "Appendix B LEDs and ports"

Connecting the AP to the network

Verifying that the AP has been connected to the network when it operates in cloud mode

When the AP operates in cloud mode, use a wireless terminal to search for and access the wireless service provided by the AP. If you can access external networks, the AP has been connected to the network.

3 Accessing the AP

Use one of the following methods to manage and configure the AP as required:

· QuickNet—Perform unified management over all devices in the network.

· Local Web interface—Configure a single AP.

· Cloudnet platform—Perform unified deployment of all services.

Configuring the AP through QuickNet

NOTE:

· Configuring the AP through QuickNet is only supported on a gateway + cloud-managed AP network.

· As a best practice to configure the AP through QuickNet, use an H3C cloud gateway. To use a third-party gateway, enable DHCP server for the gateway to assign an IP address for the cloud-based AP before you log in to QuickNet.

To configure the AP through QuickNet:

1. Access WLAN H3C_QuickNet.

2. Visit quicknet.h3c.com from a browser.

3. Perform deployment as instructed.

Configuring the AP on the local Web interface

Logging in to the local Web interface in a wireless method

Some Intel wireless adapters do not support 802.11ax. For clients to detect Wi-Fi 6 networks, upgrade the driver for the wireless adapter to the most recent version.

To log in to the local Web interface in a wireless method:

1. Access WLAN H3C_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six bits of the AP's MAC address.

2. Visit http://wlan.h3c.com from a browser, and then press Enter. Complete configuration and log in to the AP as prompted.

Logging in to the local Web interface in a wired method

1. Enable DHCP server for the gateway connected to the AP and obtain the IP address of the AP.

2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the AP and PC to the same LAN.

3. Specify an IP address for the PC and make sure the PC and AP can reach each other. Choose one of the following methods as required:

¡ Configure the PC to automatically obtain an IP address and the DNS server address. The AP automatically deploys network parameters to the PC.

¡ Manually edit the IP address of the PC and make sure the IP address of the PC resides on the same network segment as the AP's IP address.

Visit the AP's IP address from a browser to enter the local Web interface. Complete configuration and log in to the AP as prompted.

4 Configuring the AP from the Cloudnet platform

You can manage the AP remotely from the Cloudnet platform (Web interface or app) only when the AP operates in cloud mode.

Downloading and installing Cloudnet App Int

Make sure the smartphone uses Android 4.0, iOS7.0, or a higher-version operating system.

Download and install Cloudnet App Int from Google Play Store.

Logging in to the Cloudnet platform

To manage the AP from the Cloudnet platform, make sure the AP uses an IP address that can reach the external network.

To log in to the Cloudnet platform:

1. Open Cloudnet App Int or visit https://oasiscloudnet.h3c.com from a browser.

2. Enter the username and password.

After login, you can add the AP to the platform and manage the AP. For more information about platform login and device management, see H3C Cloudnet Deployment Guide.
