The detailed path is as follows: Technical Support->Documentation->Wireless->Wireless WLAN->Wireless WLAN AP->Product

Documentation->WA635SN.

Installing the AP

Select an appropriate installation position and leave more than 20 cm space above and around the device for cooling air

circulation.

WA635SN-GN dimensions (unit: mm) without a backplane

support

The WA635SN-GN can be installed using a wall-mounting template (for wall-mounting installation) or wall-mounting bracket

(for wall-mounting or ceiling-mounting installation).

To wall-mount the device using a wall-mounting template, perform the following operations:

3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten four self-tapping

screws into the expansion tubes. Leave a 3 mm space

between the screw head and the wall.

4. Align the cucurbit holes at the rear side of the AP with the

screws on the wall and hang the AP on the screws. Hold

the AP with one hand and press the AP downwards with

another hand to secure the AP on the wall. The AP can be

installed with antennas upwards or downwards, which

depends on cable routing.

1. Use a marker to mark four installation holes on the wall.

2. Use #6 drill bit to drill 25-30 mm deep holes in the drilling

positions. Hammer the expansion tubes into the holes until

the expansion tubes are embedded into the wall.

Installing the AP

To wall-mount the device using a wall-mounting bracket, perform the following operations:

Install the T-rail:

1. Fix a clip holder at the rear side of the AP with two M3*6 screws. The wall-mounting bracket is fixed at the ceiling, and

the AP is hung on the bracket. The clip holder prevents the AP from dropping.

Clip holder

1) Attach the wall-mounting bracket to the wall, adjust

the installation position, and use the marker, level, and

measuring tape to mark the drilling positions where

expansion bolts are installed.

3) Fix the wall-mounting bracket to the wall, and use

the Phillips screwdriver to fasten three self-tapping

screws into the expansion tubes.

2) Use #6 drill bit to drill 25-30 mm deep holes in the drilling

positions. Hammer the expansion tubes into the holes until the

expansion tubes are embedded into the wall.

4) Align the holes at the rear side of the AP with the hooks on

the bracket and hang the AP on the bracket. Hold the AP with

one hand and press the AP downwards with another hand to

secure the AP on the bracket. The AP can be installed with

antennas upwards or downwards, which depends on cable

routing.

2. Use screws to fix the adjustable buckle to the wall-

mounting bracket, hook the adjustable buckle to the T-rail,

and secure the screw on the adjustable hook to fasten the

wall-mounting bracket and T-rail.

3. Align the cucurbit holes at the rear side of the AP with

the foUr hooks on the bracket. Ensure that the AP is

installed in the correct direction; otherwise, the clip holder

cannot fix the AP.

Installing the AP

Ceiling mount the AP:

1. Fix a clip holder at the rear side of the AP with two M3*6 screws. The wall-mounting bracket is fixed at the ceiling, and the

AP is hung on the bracket. The clip holder prevents the AP from dropping.

2. Remove the ceiling, determine locations of mounting holes based on the distance between two installation holes, use the

hammer drill to drill holes, and fix the wall-mounting bracket to the ceiling.

3. Align the cucurbit holes at the rear side of the AP with the four hooks on the bracket. Ensure that the AP is installed in the

correct direction; otherwise, the clip holder cannot fix the AP.

Ensure that the AP is correctly installed on the wall-mounting bracket and there must be 20 cm space above and around

the AP for maintenance.

Lock hole

To prevent unauthorized personnel from moving the AP, lock the AP. The preceding

figure shows the security lock. The carrier should purchase the security lock and

determine the position for installing the security lock.

NOTE

The screws provided for ceiling-mounting of APs are 30 mm long and can be used to fix an AP on a ceiling not thicker than

15 mm. To install APs on thicker ceilings, customers need to purchase longer screws.

Connecting Cables

Requirements for making a network cable:

● Cut the cable of proper length based on the distance between the AP and the PSE device, peel the insulation on

both ends of the network cable, and crimp the wires to RJ45 connectors.

● Connect RT45 connectors to the network cable tester to test cable connectivity. The following shows the pin

assignment.

The service network cable cannot be connected to the console port. Otherwise, the AP may be damaged when using

PoE power supply.

CAUTION

When using WA635SN-GN Aps to replace WA633SNs, you need to prepare

adapters, such as SMA-to-N type adapters (figure a and b). Alternatively, make new

feeder lines matching the connectors of WA635SN-GN Aps (figure c).

●The WA635SN-GN supports PoE power supply and DC power supply.

●Use the power adapter attached with the WA635SN-GN; otherwise, the WA635SN-GN

may be damaged.

Connect AP interfaces with antennas to transmit signals, or connect the AP with a combiner

that uses the same DAS with the AP.

●The network cables used are category-5 twisted pairs.

●If the AP needs to connect to the Ethernet, ensure that the Ethernet cable is working

properly. If the Ethernet cable is not working properly, for example, RJ45 connectors are

short-circuited, the AP may fail to be powered on or fail to work. Before connecting an

ethernet cable to the AP, use the cable test tool to check whether the cable is qualified. If the

cable is unqualified, replace it.

NOTE

1. The antennas used must comply with

local laws.

2. In North America or other regions that

Require FCC certification, use W5030H

antennas from Pulse.
