1 Preparing for installation
Safety recommendations
WARNING!
Only professional technical personnel can install and remove the AP and its accessories. You must
read all safety instructions carefully before working with the AP.
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.
•To avoid bodily injury and device damage, take adequate safety measures.
•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 intrusion.
•Keep the AP and installation tools away from walkways.
Site preparation
Before installing the AP, examine the installation site and ensure that the AP will operate in a
favorable environment. Make sure the temperature and humidity at the installation site meet the
requirements in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1 Temperature and humidity requirements
Item Specification
Operating temperature 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage temperature –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F)
Operating humidity 5% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing

Pre-installation tasks
Before installing the AP, perform the following tasks:
•Power on the AP and connect the AP to the network. Examine the LEDs to verify that the AP is
operating correctly. For information about the LEDs, see "LEDs."
•Record the MAC address and serial number of the AP for future use.
Mounting the AP
1. As shown in Figure 2-2, use M4 screws to attach the mounting bracket to an electrical outlet
box.

2-2
Figure 2-2 Attaching the mounting bracket to an electrical outlet box
2. As shown in Figure 2-3, connect cables to the pass-through port and uplink/PoE in port on the
rear of the AP.
The pass-through ports on the rear and bottom of the AP are standard RJ-45 ports. You can
connect phone cables or Ethernet cables to the pass-through ports as needed.
Figure 2-3 Connecting a cable to the uplink/PoE in port
3. Secure the AP to the mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 2-4.
a. Align the mounting peg on the mounting bracket with the installation slot in the rear of the
AP and insert the peg into the slot.
b. Slide down the AP so that it sits securely on the peg.
c. Fasten the M3 × 4 screw on the side panel of the AP.

2-3
Figure 2-4 Securing the AP to the mounting bracket
Powering the AP
You can supply power to the AP by using a local power source or through 802.3af/802.at PoE as
required. Before powering the AP, make sure the local power source or the power sourcing
equipment (PSE) is reliably grounded.
Connecting a PoE power source
To power the AP through PoE, use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on a PoE switch to
the uplink/PoE in port on the AP.
Figure 2-5 Powering the AP through PoE
Connecting a local power source
You can use an AC/DC power adapter to connect the AP to a local power source. No power adapter
is provided with the AP. Prepare one yourself as required. Table 2-1 describes the power adapter
specifications.

Check after power-on
Examine the LEDs on the AP after you power on it to verify that the AP is operating correctly. For
more information about the LEDs, see "LEDs."
Connecting the AP to the network
All AP settings are configured on the AC. To verify network connectivity of the AP, execute the
display wlan ap all command on the AC. If the AP status is R/M, the AP has been connected
to the network.
