2Installation preparations

This chapter describes the preparations for WA2110-AG enhanced series installation,

including unpacking and inspection of the product, preparation of installation tools, and

choosing the installation location.

H3C recommends that all installation and removal of the unit and its accessories be

carried out by qualified personnel. Read all of the safety and installation instructions

supplied with your device before installation and operation.

Safety Precautions

A WA2110-AG must be installed in compliance with related safety standards and

specifications. For the safety of personnel and equipment, only professional network

personnel should install the device.

CAUTION:

To ensure that the access point complies with the related authentication domain regulations,

configure the country code by executing the wlan country-code command on the access

controller/unified switch before the access point begins to operate. For details about the wlan

country-code command, refer to the WLAN Service Commands of the WLAN Volume in H3C

WX Series Access Controllers User Manual.

Check that the voltage range is compliant to the requirements before powering on the

device, and be sure to use power supply devices that are in compliance with the related

safety standards.

WARNING:

Do not use or manipulate your WA2110-AG near any uncovered exploders or in any other

explosive environments, unless otherwise authorized by related functionaries.

Unpacking and inspection

Before unpacking the AP, ensure that the package is not damaged and that it does not

show signs of water damage. When unpacking the contents, avoid excessive force.

The accessories vary with the models. For the exact contents of the package, refer to

the packing list. If the contents do not match the packing list, contact your H3C

representative.

If the package is found to be rusted or water soaked, stop unpacking and contact your

H3C representative immediately.

Installation tools

Collect the following tools before installation:

Mounting bracket and screws that come with the device

Electric screwdriver and Phillips screwdriver

One electric drill and 5 mm (0.20) drill bit

Checking the device before installation

Before mounting the WA2110-AG, connect it to the power adapter (if applicable) and

the Ethernet, and check the status of the LEDs to ensure that the WA2110-AG works

properly. In addition, record the MAC address of the access point for future use.

3Installation

Attaching the antennas

Attach the antennas on to the antenna connectors on the access point and

hand-tighten them. After network startup, you may need to adjust the antennas to

fine-tune the coverage in your area. For best results, adjust the antennas so that they are

perpendicular with the floor or ceiling.

CAUTION:

Do not handle the antenna tips, especially after they are connected to the access point. This

can create electrostatic discharge (ESD) and damage the equipment.

Do not touch or remove the access point when its antenna is receiving or transmitting radio

frequency signals.

Connecting the Access Point to an Access

Controller/Unified Switch

H3C recommends installing and configuring the access controller/unified switch before

installing the access point. This is to ensure that you can verify whether the access point

works normally immediately after you connect it. For instructions on configuring the

access controller or unified switch, see H3C WX Series Access Controllers Configuration

Guides and H3C WX Series Access Controllers Command References.

Connect the access point to an access controller/unified switch directly or indirectly

through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case, use a Category 5e

cable for the connection.

Mounting the Access Point

Mount the access point on a wall, ceiling, or tabletop.

Wall or ceiling mounting

To mount the access point to a wall or ceiling:

1. Remove the access point from the mounting bracket.

2. Route the Ethernet cable and, if you are using a power adapter, the power cable

on the back of the mounting bracket (see Figure 3 .

CAUTION:

For easy installation and removal of the access point from the mounting bracket, ensure that

there is sufficient flexibility with the cable and that the cable is long enough. H3C recommends

using flexible cables. If not enough cable is routed through the back of the mounting bracket,

or the cable is inflexible, it can be difficult to install or remove the access point from the

mounting bracket.

Figure 3 Cabling on the back of the bracket

3. Mount the bracket to a wall or ceiling (see Figure 4

Figure 4 Mount the bracket (unit: mm)

4. Connect the Ethernet cable and the power cable (if using a power adapter) to the

corresponding port(s) on the access point.

CAUTION:

To avoid connection interference caused by dust, clean the pins of the cable connector

before connecting the cable to the access point.

Discharge the cable before connecting it to the access point.
