1Product overview
Developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd (H3C), H3C WX series access
controllers (ACs) (WX series) include ACs, access controller modules, and unified
switches switching engines. The WX series include the WX3000 series, WX5000 series, and
WX6000 series.
WX3000 series unified switches
The WX3000 series provides Gigabit ports, supports power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) and
802.11a/b/g/n, with the maximum output power of 25 W per port.
The WX3000 series unified switches include the WX3024, WX3010 and WX3008 unified
switches. The WX3024 provides two 10-GE interface slots on its rear panel to promote the
transmission speed at the WLAN network core.
The WX3000 series is the ideal solution to the provisioning of integrated wired and
wireless access for small- and medium-sized enterprises and branches of large-sized
enterprises.
WX5000 series multi-service access controllers
The WX5000 series are medium-capacity, multi-service access controllers that provide
high reliability, abundant features, and powerful wired and wireless data processing
functions.
The WX5000 series inlcude the WX5002, WX5002V2, and WX5004 access controllers, and
LS8M1WCMA0, LSWM1WCM10, and LSWM1WCM20 access controller modules.
The WX5000 series are designed to provide WLAN access for enterprise networks and
metropolitan area networks (MANs), and are most suitable for applications such as
WLAN access in a medium- and large-sized enterprise or campus network, wireless MAN
coverage, hot spot coverage.
WX6000 series carrier-class multi-service access
controllers
The WX6000 series are large-capacity access controllers that provide high reliability,
abundant features, and powerful wired and wireless data processing functions. The
WX6000 series integrate refined user control, perfect radio frequency (RF) management
7
and security mechanism, fast roaming, powerful QoS, and IPv4/IPv6 features to provide
powerful WLAN access control functions.
The WX6000 series include WX6103 access controllers, and LSQM1WCMB0,
LSBM1WCM2A0, and LSRM1WCM2A1 access controller modules.
The WX6000 series are designed to provide WLAN access for enterprise networks and
MANs, and are most suitable for applications such as WLAN access in a medium- and
large-sized enterprise or campus network, wireless MAN coverage, hot spot coverage.

3Installation preparations
Preparations for installing WX series access controllers include precautions, preparation
of installation tools, environment examination, and antistatic preparation. The
installation preparations vary with AC models. For more information, see the installation
guide or card manual for your AC.
NOTE:
Before installation, power on your AC, and connect it to an Ethernet. Check the corresponding
LED status on your AC, and make sure that it works normally.

4Installing an AC
WARNING!
When you ask your H3C agent to maintain your access controller, you must ensure that the
dismantlement-preventive seal on a mounting screw of the access controller chassis is intact. If
you want to open the chassis, you should contact the agent for permission. Otherwise, you will
bear any consequence resulting from your actions.
You can install a WX series access controller on a desk or onto a 19-inch rack. Support
for the installation method depends on your AC model. For more information, see the
installation guide or card manual for your AC.
NOTE:
Some installation accessories (for example, trays and guide rails) are not shipped with your AC.
Determine whether to order them as needed.
