1Product Overview
The LSQM1WCMB0 is an access controller module for the H3C
S7502E/S7503E/S7506E/S7506E-V/ S7510E Ethernet switches.
NOTE:
The models listed in this manual are not applicable to all regions. Please consult H3C
representatives for the models applicable to your region.
Introduction
The LSQM1WCMB0 access controller module provides wireless access control
functionality. It is powered by the power supply of the switch in which it is installed and
establishes a 10 Gbps communication channel with the switch through an internal
interface to implement the wireless access control functionality. The LSQM1WCMB0
access controller module starts working as soon as it is installed into a slot of a switch.

2Installation preparations
This chapter contains information about unpacking and inspection of the product,
examination of the installation site, and preparing installation tools.
WARNING!
Installation and removal of the unit and its accessories must be carried out by qualified personnel.
You must read all of the Safety Instructions supplied with your device before installation and
operation.
Safety Precautions
To avoid possible bodily injury or equipment impairment, please read the following
safety recommendations carefully before installing the LSQM1WCMB0 access controller
module. Note that these recommendations do not cover all possible hazardous
conditions.
General Safety Recommendations
Check that the access controller module is to be installed in a clean and dust-free
switch chassis.
Keep the switch chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
Do not wear loose clothing, ornaments (including finger rings and necklaces), or
any other articles that may get caught by the board when installing or maintaining
the access controller module.
NOTE:
Clean the air filter on the switch chassis during the use of the LSQM1WCMB0 to prevent poor
ventilation.
Electricity Safety
Carefully check your work area for possible hazards, such as ungrounded power
system, unreliable grounding, and moist floor.

9
Locate the emergency power switch in the equipment room before installing the
access controller module so that you can cut off the power immediately in case of
accident.
Avoid maintaining the access controller module alone with the switch powered on.
When operations are not allowed with the switch powered on, always double
check that the power is disconnected.
ESD Prevention
To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the electronic components of the
access controller module, apart from the general ESD-prevention measures taken on
the installation site, observe the precautions below:
Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when installing the access controller
module.
When checking or moving the access controller module, always take it by its
edges. Do not touch any electronic component or printed circuit.
Take the following steps to use the ESD-preventive wrist strap:
1. Put on the ESD-prevention wrist strap.
2. Fasten the ESD-preventive wrist strap and verify that it makes good skin contact.
3. Plug the grounding terminal of the ESD-preventive wrist strap into the
ESD-preventive wrist strap jack on the switch chassis, or attach the ground wire of
the ESD-preventive wrist strap to the grounding screw on the chassis with an
alligator clip.
4. Verify that the ESD-preventive wrist strap is well grounded.
CAUTION:
For the safety purpose, check the resistance of the ESD-preventive wrist strap, which should be
between 1 to 10 megohm.
Unpacking and inspection
Before unpacking the package, ensure that the package is not damaged and that it
does not show signs of water damage. While opening the package and removing the
contents, avoid using excessive force.

10
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 site examination
The installation environment for the access controller module must meet the
requirements described in this section.
Temperature and humidity requirements
Proper temperature and humidity must be maintained in the equipment room. Lasting
high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical
property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts, while lasting low relative
humidity can result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even electrostatic
discharge (ESD) that causes failure of the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
(CMOS) circuitry. A proper temperature condition must also be maintained to prevent
premature material aging and degraded reliability accompanying high temperature
conditions.
Cleanliness
Dust is hazardous to the operation safety of the access controller module. Dust buildup
on the chassis may result in static adsorption, causing poor contact of metal
components or contact points. Electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen when
the relative indoor humidity is low. This shortens the service life of your device and causes
communication failures.
Prevent dust from exceeding the concentration limits in the equipment room (see Table
3 ).
Table 3 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance
Concentration limit (particles/m3)
Dust particles
≤ 3 x 104 (No visible dust on desk in three days)
Note: Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 µm

11
In addition, the equipment room should meet the rigorous limits on salts, acids and
sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of some parts. There are also limits
on harmful gases in the equipment room (see Table 4
Table 4 Limits on harmful gases in the equipment room
Gas
Limit (mg/m3)
SO2
0.2
H2S
0.006
NH3
0.05
Cl2
0.01
EMI prevention
All interference sources, from the outside or inside of the switch and application system,
adversely affect the access controller module in the conduction patterns of
capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, and
common impedance (including grounding system) coupling, and cable conduction
(including power cables, signal cables and output cables).
To prevent interference:
Take effective measures against interference from the power grid.
Keep the protection ground (PGND) of the switch as far away as possible from the
grounding device or lightning protection grounding device of the power supply
equipment.
Keep the switch far away from high-power radio launchers, radars, and equipment
with high-frequency and high current.
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Grounding requirements
A good grounding system is essential for lightning protection, interference prevention
and ESD prevention to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the switch and the
access controller module.
Installation tools and meters
When installing the access controller module, you may need the tools listed in Table 5
These installation tools and meters are not shipped with the LSQM1WCMB0.

3Hardware Installation
CAUTION:
Always wear a well grounded ESD-preventive wrist strap when installing or removing the
access controller module.
After removing the blank filler panel from the slot where the access controller module is to be
installed, store it properly for future use.
Console Cable Connection
The console cable is an 8-core cable with an RJ-45 connector at one end for the
console port of the LSQM1WCMB0 and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for
the 9-pin serial port of a configuration terminal (see Figure 3

terminal device (such as a PC):
1. Connect the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the
PC.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the
LSQM1WCMB0. Be sure to plug the cable into the correct port.
CAUTION:
The console port is clearly identified. Be sure to plug the cable into the correct port.
NOTE:
When the LSQM1WCMB0 is powered on, H3C recommends using the following order when
connecting or disconnecting the console cable:
When connecting the LSQM1WCMB0 to a PC, first connect the DB-9 connector of the console
cable to the PC and then connect the RJ-45 connector to the LSQM1WCMB0.
When removing the connection, first unplug the RJ-45 connector and then unplug the DB-9
connector.
