Installing Cables
●Connecting the feed line
1. The outdoor AP's antenna ports already have 5 KA surge protection capability. Generally, no surge protection devices
need to be installed; therefore, the antenna cables are directly connected to the AP's antenna ports.
2. If higher surge protection capability is required, the customer can purchase a surge protection device. When installing the
surge protection device, ensure that it is connected to a ground cable.

Installing Cables
●Requirements for Laying Out Cables
● Requirements for laying out power cables
1. The power cable must be separated from ground cables and signal cables.
2. If multiple power cables are installed, you must bind the power cables.
3. The routing of power cables must meet engineering design drawing requirements.
4. If the power cable length is insufficient, replace the power cable. The power cable must be complete and cannot
have splices or welding points.
● Requirements for laying out ground cables
1. All ground cables must be connected to a ground bar.
2. The ground cable cannot be led in aerially, but buried in the earth or arranged indoor.
3. Both ends of the external conductor of the coaxial cable and those of the insulation of the shielded cable should
have good electric contact with the metal shell of the equipment they connect to.
4. Ground cables must be separated from signal cables to reduce interference between them.
5. Do not add any switch or fuse on the ground cable.
6. Do not use another device for an electrical connection with the ground cable.
7. All metal components in the shell must be securely connected to the ground cable.
● Requirements for laying out optical fibers
1. Do not press optical fibers forcibly or crush optical fibers with force. Leave sharp objects away from optical fibers
to prevent damage to optical fibers.
2. Coil up redundant optical fibers round specialize devices such as the splice tray.
3. Coil optical fibers gently and do not break them.
4. Cover optical fiber connectors with protective caps.

After an AP is powered on, you can log in to the AP using the following methods.
1. Logging In to the AP Using Telnet
This section describes how to log in to the AP using Telnet. After logging in to the AP, you can configure the AP using
commands.
1. Logging In to the AP Using Telnet
This section describes how to log in to the AP using Telnet. After logging in to the AP, you can configure the AP using
Commands.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect a PC to the uplink port of the AP with a network cable. Figure 1-1 shows the location of the AP's uplink
port.
Figure 1-1 Location of the AP's uplink port
Step 2 Configure a static IP address for the PC. The IP address must be on the network segment 192.168.0.1/24
(The IP address should not be same as the AP's default IP address 192.168.0.1.) and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
After the configuration is complete, run the ping 192.168.0.1 command on the PC to check whether the PC
can be pinged. If the ping operation succeeds, the connection is set up successfully. If the ping operation fails,
The connection fails to be set up. Check whether the network cable works properly.
Step 3 Access the command line window on the PC. For example, if the PC runs Windows XP, choose Start > Run
And enter cmd in the displayed dialog box.
Step 4 Run the telnet 192.168.0.1 command to log in to the AP.
Step 5 Enter the default user name and password admin. If the user view is displayed, you have logged in
Successfully.

AP Local Configuration
WLAN services parameters of an AP are configured on the AC that is connected To the AP, and then delivered to the AP.
The following parameters are configured on the AP through Telnet.
1. Configuring the AP Access Mode
This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.
2. Configuring VLANs on Wired Interfaces of an AP
This section describes how to configure VLANs on wired interfaces of an AP.
3. Configuring WDS
This section describes how to configure WDS parameters on an AP.
1 Configuring the AP Access Mode
This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.
●AP Access Modes
After an AP starts, going online management module determines the mode in which the AP goes online. Users are
unaware of the AP access mode. In the AP startup phase, the AP obtains the its IP address, the gateway IP address,
and the AC IP address based on the access mode. After obtaining all the information, the AP sets up a Control And
Provisioning of Wireless Access Point (CAPWAP) link with the AC. The process is as follows:
1. The AP reads the configuration file and determines the mode to go online.
2. If the DHCP mode is used, the AP starts the DHCP process.
3. If the static mode is used, the AP starts the AC discovery process based on the static configuration, and
establishes a control tunnel with the discovered AC.
4. If the PPPoE mode is used, the AP initiates the PPPoE dial-up process. After obtaining the management IP
address and gateway address, the AP uses the statically configured AC IP address to discover the AC, and
establishes a control tunnel with the AC.
NOTE
By default, AP's go online in DHCP mode.
●Configuring the Mode for an AP to Go Online
●Configuring the AP to go online in DHCP mode
