Device Introduction
The Huawei AP series indoor wireless LAN access point provides eight models: AP3010DN-AGN,
AP5010DN-AGN, AP5010SN-GN, AP6010DN-AGN, AP6010SN-GN, AP6310SN-GN, AP7110DN-AGN,
and AP7110SN-GN. The indoor AP features high reliability, high security, simple network deployment,
automatic AC discovery and configuration, and real-time management and maintenance.
The APs are recommended in scenarios where the building structure is simple and the building area is
small, have a high density of users, and have high capacity demands, for example, small-scale meeting
rooms, bars, and entertainment places. The APs can be flexibly deployed.
Table 1 lists the dimensions and weights of indoor APs.

3. Determining the Installation Position
When determining the AP installation position, comply with the following rules:
Try to reduce the number of obstacles, such as walls, between the AP and user terminals.
Install the AP away from electronic devices that can interfere the radio signal or make noises,
such as the microwave oven.
Install the AP in a hidden position that does not affect working and living of residents.
Install the AP away from water, drippings, and dews, and prevent water on cables from flowing
into the device along the cable.
Indoor APs can be mounted against the wall, the ceiling, or to a T-rail. The APs are generally
mounted against the wall or ceiling using sheet metal wall-mounting bracket; therefore, the
installation position is determined by the site survey. The cabling end of the device must be at least
200 mm away from the wall. Figure 2 shows the space requirements.

4. Installing the AP
Against the Wall
The AP3010DN-AGN, AP5010DN-AGN, and AP5010SN-GN have plastic wall-mounting bracket
delivered with them, so they can only be wall mounted. The AP6010DN-AGN, AP6010SN-GN,
AP6310SN-GN, AP7110DN-AGN, and AP7110SN-GN have sheet metal wall-mounting bracket
delivered with them, so they can be wall mounted, ceiling mounted, or T-rail mounted indoors.
The procedures for installing all models of indoor APs are the same unless otherwise stated. The
following figures use the AP7110DN-AGN as an example.
1. Fix the wall-mounting bracket to the wall,
adjust the installation position, and use the
marker to mark the drilling positions where
expansion bolts are installed.
2. Use #6 drill bit to drill 25mm to 30 mm deep
holes in the drilling positions. Hammer the
expansion tubes into the holes until the
expansion tubes are embedded into the wall.

3. Fix the wall-mounting bracket to the wall,
use the Phillips screwdriver to fasten three
self-tapping screws into the expansion tube.

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 wall.

NOTE
You need the sheet metal wall-mounting bracket and expansion screws to install the indoor AP
against the wall. The procedures are as follows:

12
Installing the AP
Against the Ceiling
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.

To a T-rail
1. Fix a clip holder at the rear side of the AP with two M3*6 screws. For details, see step 1 in
Against the Ceiling.
2. Remove the two ceilings around the T-rail. Use screws to fix the adjustable buckle to the sheet
metal 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.

Cable
Description
1
5 GHz antenna cable
Connects to the 5 GHz antenna for transmitting and receiving signals.
2
2.4 GHz antenna cable
Connects to the 2.4 GHz antenna for transmitting and receiving signals.
3
Ground cable
Connects to the ground cable, with the M4 end connected to the ground
cable and M6 end connected to the protection ground.
4
Network cable
•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.
5
Power adapter
12 V DC
•The AP supports PoE power supply and DC power supply.
•Use the power adapter attached with the AP; otherwise, the AP
maybe damaged.
Table 7 Cables of indoor APs
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.
Standard RJ45 connectors are used on network cables for the AP5010 series.
Bending the antenna may hurt your hands, so exercise caution when you install the antenna on
the AP7110 series.
See the following figure to connect network cables to the AP6010 series APs.
Table 8 Pin assignment
CAUTION
NOTE
The antennas of the AP6310SN-GN used must comply with local laws.
In North America or other regions that Require FCC certification, use W5030H antennas from Pulse.
When using AP6310SN-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 AP6310SN-GN Aps (figure c).

The indoor AP supports the DC power supply and PoE power supply. You can select the power supply
mode as required.
1. Checking Before Power-on
After the AP installation is complete, you should check the following items before power-on:
2. Indicator Status
When the DC power supply is used, ensure that the DC power supply is properly grounded.
When the PoE power supply is used, ensure that the PoE power supply is properly grounded.
Indoor APs can be either powered on by the PoE or DC power supply.
Do not frequently power on and off an AP.
