2.4 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 cause radio interference, such as the
microwave oven.
Install the AP in a hidden position that does not affect daily lives and work of residents.
Install the AP in a site that is free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and
humidity, and take protective measures to prevent water from flowing into the equipment
along the cable.
Indoor APs are usually mounted on a wall or ceiling using sheet metal mounting brackets.
The installation position is determined by the site survey. Leave at least 200 mm of
clearance around the device.
Figure 2-2 shows dimensions of the AP4030DN.

2.5 Installing the AP
If the AP surface is covered with protective film, remove it before installation.
2.5.1 Wall Mounting
Mounting APs on a wall requires sheet metal mounting brackets and expansion screws. The
procedures are as follows:
1. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall, adjust the installation position, and use the marker
to mark the drilling positions where expansion screws are installed.

2. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill 25 mm to 30 mm deep holes in the drilling positions.
Hammer the expansion tubes into the holes until the expansion tubes are completely
embedded into the wall.
3. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall and use the Phillips screwdriver to fasten three
expansion screws into the expansion tubes.
4. Align the mounting screws at the rear of the AP with the mounting holes on the sheet
metal mounting bracket and then press the AP downwards to secure the AP on the
bracket.

2.5.2 Ceiling Mounting
1. Remove a ceiling tile, determine locations of mounting holes based on the distance
between two installation holes on the mounting bracket, use a hammer drill to drill holes
on the ceiling tile, and fix the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile.
1. Ceiling tile
2. Adjustable buckle
3. M4x30 screw
2. Hang the AP on the mounting holes by aligning the mounting screws at the rear of the
AP with the mounting holes on the bracket and push the AP horizontally to secure the
AP.

The screws provided for ceiling-mounting of APs are 30 mm long and can be used to fix an
AP on a ceiling not thicker than 15 mm. To install APs on thicker ceilings, you need to
purchase longer screws.
Ensure that the AP is correctly installed on the mounting bracket and there must be 200 mm space above
and around the AP for maintenance.
2.5.3 T-rail Mounting
1. Remove two ceiling tiles around the T-rail, use screws to fix the adjustable buckle to the
mounting bracket, hook the adjustable buckle to the T-rail, and secure the screw on the
adjustable buckle to fasten the mounting bracket and T-rail.
1. T-rail
2. Adjustable buckle
3. M3x6 screws
2. Hang the AP on the mounting holes by aligning the mounting screws at the rear of the
AP with the mounting holes on the bracket and push the AP horizontally to secure the
AP.

Before fixing the adjustable buckle with a screw, you need to adjust the buckle to a proper position
based on the T-rail width.
Ensure that the AP is correctly installed on the mounting bracket and there must be 200 mm space
above and around the AP for maintenance.

No.
Cable
Description
1
Network cable
The network cables used
are category-5 enhanced
or higher twisted pairs.
Ensure that the AP is
connected to the Ethernet
using the Ethernet cable
that works 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.
2
DC power adapter
The AP supports the PoE
power supply and DC
power supply.
To connect the AP to a
DC power source, use
the power adapter
delivered with the AP;
otherwise, the AP maybe
damaged.
When PoE and power adapter power supplies are available, the devices are preferentially powered by
the PoE.
Pay attention to the following points when installing network cables
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.
Do not connect the service network cable to the console port. Otherwise, the AP may be
damaged when the PoE power supply is used.
Before removing network cables or power cables, remove the AP from the mounting
bracket first to prevent damage to the network cables or power cables.
The cable cannot exceed 100 meters.
2.7 Installing the Security Lock
There is a security slot on the AP. You can lock the AP to an immovable object to prevent the
AP against theft. The detailed procedures are as follows:
