Mounting the AP
Unpacking the AP
Make sure that you have the following items, which are included with the
AP:
•One H3C WA2620-AGN Access Point
•Wall-mounting hardware:
○One combined wall-mounting bracket and table-top stand
○Four screws
○Four wall anchors
•Suspended ceiling bracket:
○One ceiling bracket
○One slider
○Two screws
•Eight adhesive rubber feet
•One copy of this Quick Start Guide
•One H3C Warranty Flyer
•One console cable
Preparing for Installation
H3C recommends that you connect and check the Ethernet cable and
LEDs before you install the AP in a hard-to-reach location. Also, observe
these items before you mount or connect the AP:
5

Feature Description
Switch Port To connect your wireless network to your wired network, you
need a switch that is connected to the AP.
Cabling
Make sure that a standard Ethernet cable with straight-through
wiring is installed at the site before you install the AP.
Make sure that the cable is highly flexible and that the RJ-45
connector has no extra covering that could prevent the cable
from being routed through the mounting bracket.
Power
Requirement
Power is supplied using an 802.3af Power Over Ethernet
(PoE) compliant device such as a PoE switch or a PoE injector.
For maximum performance, H3C recommends that you use a
Gigabit link.
MAC Address
Record the AP MAC address in a safe place before the AP is
installed in a hard-to-reach location.
The MAC address is printed on the back of the AP.
Mounting the AP
The AP can be mounted on the following types of surfaces:
•Wall or electrical box (NEMA enclosure)
•Table top
•Ceiling Mounting
Wall or Electrical Box Mounting
To install your AP on a wall or electrical box, use the mounting bracket
that comes with the device. Follow these steps:
1. Following these guidelines, screw the mounting bracket to a wall or
electrical box (NEMA enclosure):
6

•The mounting bracket tabs should be pointing upward.
•If mounting to drywall, use the 4 screws and 4 wall anchors.
•If mounting to an EU electrical box (60.3mm), use 2 threaded screws and
insert into the holes marked “A” in the diagram shown below.
•If mounting to a US electrical box (83.3mm), use 2 threaded screws and
insert into the holes marked “B” in the diagram shown below.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable (for power and network connection) to the
LAN port on the back of the AP.
3. To mount the AP onto the mounting bracket, insert the mounting-bracket
tabs into the slots on the back of the AP.
CAUTION:
If you are mounting the AP on a wall, you cannot use the slots on the
bottom narrow ed
g
e of the device. Instead, you must use the slots on back
of the AP.
Tabletop Mounting
To install the AP on a flat surface such as a table or desktop, follow these
steps:
7

1. Insert the tabs on the table stand into the slots on the side of the AP, as
shown in the illustration. Align the cable routing cut out toward the upper
part of the stand.
2. To lock the stand to the AP, slide the stand back and the AP forward, as
shown here:
3. Place the AP and table stand on the table.
8

4. Connect the Ethernet cable for power and network connection to the
LAN port on the back of the AP.
Ceiling Mounting
To install your AP on the Ceiling, use the ceiling bracket kit that comes
with the device. Follow these steps:
1. Attach the metal slider to the back of the AP using the two small screws.
The slider should still be able to slide after the screws are tightened,
Make sure that the slide is left in the same position as shown below so
that the slots are accessible.
9

2. Clip the metal ceiling bracket to a suitably located ceiling tile separator.
3. Slide the moveable section into place and tighten the screw (found
underneath) to secure it.
10

4. Position the AP so that the two tabs from the ceiling bracket can be
inserted in the slots in the AP.
5. Slide the slider across to lock the AP to the bracket.
11

Connecting Power
This section describes how to power the AP in the following ways:
•By Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplied over the LAN by an 802.3af PoE
compliant device such as a switch.
•By PoE supplied by a PoE injector or midspan (not included with the AP).
NOTE:
The PoE injector needs to be separately purchased.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the LAN
To power the AP using PoE provided by a switch or other 802.3af
compliant device, plug the network cable from the device into the AP’s
Ethernet port.
Power over Ethernet from a PoE Injector
To power the AP using a PoE injector or midspan (not included), follow
these steps:
