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
operates correctly. For information about AP LEDs, see "LEDs."
•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.
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.
•The AP is more than 5 m (16.40 ft) away from 3G and 4G stations and antennas.

Installing the AP
The AP can be installed only indoors. You can mount the AP on a wall or a ceiling. The installation
procedure is the same for the H3C WA560.
The mounting bracket kit for the AP includes an AP bracket and a wall/ceiling bracket. To install the
AP on a wall or ceiling, attach the AP bracket to the AP and the wall/ceiling bracket to the wall or
ceiling.
