2.3 Determining the Installation Position
When determining theAP 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. There must be at least 200 mm clearance
between the cabling end of the AP and the wall. Figure 2-1 shows dimension and Figure 2-2
shows space requirements.

2.4 Installing the AP
2.4.1 Wall Mounting
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.

Fix the mounting bracket to the wall and use the Phillips screwdriver to fasten three expansion
screws into the expansion.
3. Align the mounting screws at the rear of the AP with the mounting holes on the
mounting bracket and hang the AP on the bracket. Press the AP downwards to secure the
AP on the wall.
2.4.2 Ceiling Mounting

AP4030DN Quick Start Guide Contents
Issue 01 (2015-02-06) 华为专有和保密信息
版权所有 © 华为技术有限公司 16
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
hole on the ceiling tile, and fix the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile.
2. Hang the AP on the mounting holes by aligning the mounting screws at the rear of
the AP with the mounting screws 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.
2.4.3 T-rail Mounting
1. Remove two ceiling tiles around the T-rail (1), use screws (2) to fix the adjustable buckle
(3) to the mounting bracket (4), hook the adjustable buckle to the T-rail, and secure the
screw on the adjustable buckle to fasten the mounting bracket and T-rail. 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.
2. Hang the AP on the mounting holes by aligning the mounting screws at the rear of theAP
with the mounting screws on the bracket and push theAP horizontally to secure theAP.
1. Before fixing the adjustable buckle with a screw, you need to adjust the buckle to a
proper position based on the T-rail width.
2. 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 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:
1. Fasten the cable of the security lock to an immovable object around.
2. Insert the security lock into the security slot and lock it.

AP4030DN Quick Start Guide Contents

2.6 Connecting Cables
Figure 2-3 and Table 2-2 shows interface and cable connection ofAP4030DN。
Figure 2-3 Interfaces of the AP4030DN
Table 2-2 Cable Connection
No. Cable Description
1 Ethernet 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.

AP4030DN Quick Start Guide Contents

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, theAP 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 Powering on the AP
You can check the power-on status by observing indicators on the AP. For details, see 1.2
