Preparing for installation
Safety recommendations
W
ARNING!
Only qualified personnel can install and remove the AP and its accessories. You must read all safety
instructions supplied with the AP before installation and operation.
To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read the following safety recommendations
before installing the AP. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous
condition.
•Take adequate safety measures to avoid injury and AP damage.
•Place the AP in a dry and flat location and take anti-slip measures.
•Keep the AP clean and dust-free.
•Do not place the AP in a moist area and avoid liquid surrounding the AP.
•Keep the AP and installation tools away from walkways.

Installing the AP
Figure 1 Installation flowchart
Check before installation
Before installing an AP, perform the following tasks:
•Connect the AP to the power supply and the network. Examine the LEDs to verify that the AP can
operate correctly. For more information about AP LEDs, see “Appendix LEDs and ports.”
•Verify that cabling on the installation site has been completed.
•To ensure the PoE performance, H3C recommends that you use GE interfaces for PoE power supply.
•Record the AP MAC address and serial number marked on the rear of the AP for future use.
Installing the AP
1. Use the M3.5 × 25 screws to secure the wall-mounting bracket to the terminal box.

Figure 2 Securing the wall mounting bracket to the terminal box
2. Connect the two cables to the Uplink/PoE In and Pass Through ports on the AP rear.
Figure 3 Connecting cables
NOTE:
The Pass Through ports on rear and bottom of the AP are standard RJ-45 ports. The ports can
connect telephone cables or other cables as required.
3. Align the installation hole in the AP rear with the bottom line of the tab of the wall-mounting
bracket.

4. Insert the tab on the mounting bracket into the hole in the AP rear. Then slide the AP down and
secure the AP to the wall-mounting bracket with M2.9 × 4 screws or M2.9 × 4 anti-theft screws.

Connecting the AP to the power supply
You can power the AP with local power or by using PoE.
Check before power-on
Check the following items before powering on the AP:
•The power supply is reliably grounded when the AP uses local power supply.
•The PoE power supply is reliably grounded when the AP uses PoE power supply.
Connecting PoE power supply
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet interface on the AP to an interface on a switch that supports
PoE.
Connecting local power supply
NOTE:
The AC/DC adapter and power cord are user-supplied.

Output +48V at 0.52 A
You can power the AP by using an AC/DC adapter. Use the AC/DC adapter to connect the power port
of the AP to the local power source.
Check after power-on
Verify that the AP is powered on and operating correctly by examining the AP status LED. For more
information about AP LEDs, see “Appendix LEDs and ports.”
Connecting the AP to the network
Connect the Ethernet port of the AP to an Ethernet port of an Ethernet switch for Internet or MAN access.

Verifying network connection for the fit AP
All settings of the fit AP are configured on the AC. Use the display wlan ap all command on the AC that
connects to the fit AP. If the AP status is R/M, the AP is connected to the network.

Verifying network connection for the fat AP
Use the ping command on the fat AP to ping the uplink network device. If the ping operation succeeds,
the AP is connected to the network successfully.
