2 Product Overview

Developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as H3C), H3C WA series wireless local area network (WLAN) access point s (A Ps) (hereinafter referred to as the WA series) can be widely applied in wireless networks providing WLAN services to users. The W A series can operate in both fat and fit modes. When they serve as fit APs, they need to cooperate with wireless controllers or unified switches; when they serve as fat APs, they can independently provide wireless access for WLAN users. The WA series allow you to switch between the two modes at the CLI to accommodate to different network sizes. Thus, flexibility is achieved.

H3C WA series WLAN access points include WA2110-AG, WA2200 series, and WA2600 series.

2-1 shows the applicable models and working mode.

z The WA2110-AG supports 802.11a/b/g, and serves as fit APs to cooperate with wireless

controllers or unified switches.

z The WA2200 series supports 802.11a/b/g, and can switch between the fit and fat modes to

accommodate to different network sizes.

z The WA2600 series supports 802.11a/b/g/n, and can ope rate in b oth fat and fit modes. It provides

an access rate of six times the traditional 802.11a/b/g network and covers a larger area. The WA 2600 series adopts 10 GE Ethernet interfaces as its uplink interfaces to implement wireless multi-media application.

3 Installation Preparations

This chapter describes the preparations for installing WA series WLAN access points, including the preparation of installation tools and environm ent examination.

The installation preparations for the H3C WA series access points depend on the installation environments (indoor or outdoor). For more information about the installation preparations of an AP model, see the installation guide or quick start of the AP.

Installation Preparations

Before installing your AP:

z Power on your AP, and connect it to an Ethernet. Check the co rresponding LED status on your AP,

and make sure that your AP works normally.

z Save the installation position, MAC address, and serial number of your AP, to facilitate the

management and maintenance of APs by administrators.

z Determine whether installation accessories (for example, or power adapter) are needed according

to the installation position and power supply mode of your AP. Order them in advance because some installation accessories are not shipped with your AP, and you need to purchase them yourself.

Preparing Installation Tools

When installing the AP, you may need the tools listed in Table 3-1. Choose the appropriate tools according to the installation environment.

If you install the AP on a desk, none of the above tools is required. If you install the AP on top of or under eave of a building, no digging tool is required.

Examining the Installation Site

Before installation, examine the installation site to make sure that the AP will work in a good environment. You can examine the installation site from the following three aspects.

Installation Site Selection

Keep the AP away from places that are susceptible to high temperature, dust, inflammable, explosive, electromagnetic interference (high power radar , radio station, and transformer), un stable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. The installation site should be dry, without any leakage, dripping, or dew. The AP should be at least 500 m (0.31 mi) away from the seaside and should not face the direction of sea wind.

In engineering design, the site should be selected according to the network planning and technical requirements of communications equipment, as well as the considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.

Temperature and Humidity Requirements

The temperature and humidity requirements depend on your AP model. For more information, see the installation guide or quick start of your AP.

Power Supply

The power supply mode depends on your AP model. For more information, see the inst allation guide or quick start of your AP .

Grounding and Lightning Protection

Table 3-2 Grounding and lightning protection requirements

SN Item Requirements

z The earth resistance is usual ly required to be less than 5 ohms, and less than 10

ohms in an area with less than 20 thunderstorm days a year. If a piece of angle steel is buried as the earthing conductor, the earth resistance is required to be less than 10

Grounding resistance

ohms. In an area with a higher earth resistance, reduce the earth resistance by using brine or resistance reducing agent around the earthing conductor.

z The top of the earthing condu ctor should be at least 0.7 m (2.30 ft) away from the

ground surface. In cold areas, the earthing conductor should be buried below the frozen soil layer.

3-2

SN Item Requirements

z If a grounding strip is available, connect the yellow and green ground cable of the AP

to the grounding strip. If you need to make a grounding cable, the cabl e should be with a cross-section area of at least 6 mm

(0.24 in2) and a length of no longer than 3

m (9.84 ft).

Device

protection ground (PGND)

z If no grounding strip is availab le, bury a piece of angle steel/steel tube at least 0.5 m

(1.64 ft) long in the earth to serve as the earthing conductor. In the case of a piece of angle steel, the size should be at least 50 mm × 50 mm × 5 mm (1.97 in. × 1.97 in. ×

0.20 in.); in the case of a piece of steel tube, it must be zinc-plated and have a wall thickness of at least 3.5 mm (0.14 in.). Weld the yellow and green ground cable of the AP onto the earthing conductor and use anti-erosion treatment on the welding joint. The grounding cable should be as short as possible and must not be coiled.

z Ensure that the grounding points of all t he lightning arrester s of the AP and the peer

device of the AP are well grounded.

A grounding lead-in is a metal conductor connecting a grounding net and a grounding strip. The grounding cable of the AP should be connected to the grounding strip. The

5 Logging In to an AP

Before logging in to an AP, power on the AP and connect it to a network. For more information, see

Powering on the AP and Connecting It to a Network.

When an AP works in the fit AP mode, you ca nnot directly log in to and manage it, but you can control it through an access controller or a unified switch associated with it.

Y ou can use any of the following methods to log in to a W A series WLAN access point working in the fat AP mode:

z Logging in through the console port z Logging in through telnet z Logging in through SSH z Logging in through web-based network management system z Logging in through NMS

Powering on the AP and Connecting It to a Network

After installing the AP, perform the following steps before logging in to the AP.

Step1 the AP and connect it to an Ethernet.

For how to connect the power supply and connect your AP to a network, see the installation guide or quick start of the AP.

Step2 Check the LEDs on the AP.

1) Power LED

z When the AP is powered on, the power LED is steady on. z If the power LED is not on, it is possibly because the AP is not powered on.

2) Ethernet LED

z If the Ethernet LED is steady on, the AP is connected to the Ethernet. z If the Ethernet LED is blinking, the AP is connected to the Ethernet, and data is being transmitted

and received.

For the description of the LEDs on the AP, see the installation guide or quick start of the AP.

Saving the Current Configuration

You can modify the configuration on your device at the CLI. To use the modified configuration for the next startup, you must save it (using the save command) to the configuration file.

You can save the configuration in either of the following two modes:

z Fast saving mode: Fast saving mode is implemented by using the save command without

providing the safely keyword. The mode saves the file quickly but is likely to lose the existing configuration file if the device reboots or the power fails during the process.

max-power

preamble { long | short }

max-power

Optional By default, the maximum radio power

varies with country codes, channels, AP models, radio types and antenna types. If

802.11n is adopted, the maximum radio power also depends on the bandwidth mode.

Optional By default, the short preamble is

supported. Only 802.11b/g supports this configuration.

z Safe mode. Safe mode is implemented by using the save command with the safely keyword. The

mode saves the file more slowly that the fast saving mode but can retain the configuration file on the device even if the device reboots or the power fails during the process.

The fast saving mode is suitable for environments where power supply is stable. The safe mode, however, is preferred in environment s where stable power supply is unavaila ble or remote maintenance is involved.

Follow a step below to save the current configuration:

To do… Use the command… Remarks

Save the current configuration to the specified file, but the configuration file is not set as the file to be used at the next startup

Save the current configuration to the root directory of the storage medium and specify the file as the startup configuration file to be used at the next system startup up

z The configuration file must be with extension .cfg z For the device that supports the main keyword, the execution of the save [ safely ] and save

[ safely ] main commands has the same effect: The system saves the current configuration and specifies the configuration file as the main startup configuration file to be used at the next system startup.

z During the execution of the save [ backup | main ] command, the startup configuration file to be

used at the next system startup may be lost if the device reboots or the power supply fails. In this case, the device boots with the null configuration, and after the device reboots, you need to re-specify a startup configuration file for the next system startup

7 Software Maintenance

z The terminal output information may vary on your AP model. z The configurations made on the WA2200 series throughout this chapter apply to WLAN APs. For

the software maintenance process, see the specific configuration examples.

Introduction

Files Managed by the AP

BootWare program file

The BootWare program file is used by the AP to boot the applications; it is stored in the Flash of the device. The complete BootWare program file consists of the basic section and the extended section.

Application files

The AP provi des one type of application file for device boot: main application file, which is sto red in the Flash. Two main application files can exist in the AP as it supports fit and fat. For example, two main application files exist on a WA2200: WA2200_fit.bin or WA2200_fat.bin. When the AP works in the fat AP mode, you can use the boot-loader file file-url { main | backup } command to spe cify either of them as the main application file.

Configuration files

With a file extension of .cfg, the configuration files contain the configuration information of the AP. Typically, the default configuration file is written into the Flash before the AP is delivered. The factory default configuration file is startup.cfg.

Software Maintenance Approaches

You can maintain the AP software in the following four ways:

z Upgrading the application files using the XMODEM protocol through a serial port z Upgrading application files by using TFTP or FTP at the CLI. z Upgrading application files through the web interface. z Upgrading the application files automatically through an AC or a US (applicable to the fit mode

only)

7-1

The WA series APs support upgrading the BootWare and application files of a sp ecific versi on throu gh upgrade package. Thus you do not need to upgrade the BootWare program separately.

Factory Default Configuration

The factory default configuration is the default configuration of the device at system boot before any settings are made to the device. The factory default configuration enables you to use all the basic functions upon AP power-on.

z If you perform configurations and save the configurations on the AP, the AP uses the configuration

file you have saved for next startup.

z If you remove the current configuration file, namely, no configuration file exists on the AP, the AP

starts with the factory default configuration upon next startup.

z If you disable the AP from booting with the default configuration (see Removing the Factory Default

Configuration

), it boots with null configuration.

z The filename you specified when saving the configuration file i s used as the configuration filena me

for next startup. This startup mode is prior to the startup with the factory default configuration.

z If no configuration file exists on the Flash of the AP, it boots with the factory default configuration.

The factory default configuration is set by the vendor of the AP, and you cannot modify it.

Factory Default Configuration of a Fat AP

z For the factory default configuration of a fat AP, see Configuring Basic Functions for an AP

z A fit AP has zero configuration. All the configuration and management are performed by ACs or

USs.

Removing the Factory Default Configuration

Upon AP boot, when the prompt “Press Ctrl+B to enter extende d boot menu...” appears, press Ctrl+B. The system prompts you to enter the BootWare password:

Please input BootWare password:

After you provide the correct password, the system enters the BootWare main menu (the initial BootWare password is null, and you can directly press Enter):

7-7

Select 6 to disable the AP from booting with the default configuration. It boots with null configuration, shown as follows:

Enter your choice(0-9):6 Flag Set Success.

Fit/Fat Working Mode Switching

The AP can work in the fat mode, or cooperate with an AC or a US to work in the fit mode, and it can switch between the fit mode and the fat mode.

Before working mode switching, identify the current working mode of the AP to determine whether it needs to perform a mode switching.

Switching the Working Mode Through the BootWare Menu

The working mode of the AP depends on the main application file in it s Flash. If the main application file in the Flash is XXXX_fit.bin, the AP works in the fit mode; if the main application file in the Flash is XXXX_fat.bin, the AP works in the fat mode.

When setting the working mode through the BootWare menu, you need to judge whether the main application file in the Flash is consistent with the working mode. During the upgrade process, do not change the main application filename, thus to avoid inconsistency of the working mode that has been configured and the current working mode.

Switching the Working Mode at the CLI

Set the working mode to fit AP

To set the working mode of the AP working in the fat mode to the fit mode, use the boot-loader file

file-url { main | backup } command: On a WA2200 series:

<Sysname>boot-loader file wa2200_fit.bin main This command will set the boot file. Continue? [Y/N]:y The specified file will be used as the main boot file at the next reboot on slot 1!

7-10

z Fat and fit files cannot be stored in the Flash at the same time due to the space limitation of the

Flash of the AP. Therefore, before you switch the working mode of the AP from fat AP to fit AP, you need to delete the fat file in the Flash to release the space of the Flash. When deleting the fat file, use the delete /unreserved plus name of the file to be deleted in user view (you can view the file name using the dir command in user view). Then, use TFTP to download the fit file, and set the working mode of the AP to the fit AP mode.

z When you switch the working mode of the AP at the CLI, the configuration file used for next startup

is set to null. After you reboot the AP, the system starts with the factory default configuration of the current mode.

Set the working mode to fat AP

To set the working mode of the AP working in the fit AP mode to the fat AP mode, you can ex ecute the wlan ap-execute ap-name conversion-to-fatap command on the AC or US:

For example, set the working mode of ap1_003 to the fat AP mode:

<Sysname> system-view [Sysname] wlan ap excute ap1_003 concersion-to-fatap

z After setting the working mode of the AP at the CLI, you need to restart the AP to make your

configuration take effect.

z You can use the wlan ap-execute ap-name conversion-to-fatap command on an AC or a US to

set the working mode of the AP to fat AP only in the case that the AP running as a fit AP is associated with the AC or US and the fat AP version is stored in the Flash.

Upgrading Applications Through the Serial Port

XMODEM Overview

To upgrade applications through a serial port, use the XMODEM protocol. XMODEM is a file transfer protocol that is widely used because of its simplicity and good performance.

XMODEM transfers files via serial ports. It support s two types of data packet s (128 bytes and 1 KB), two check methods (checksum and CRC), and error packet retransmission mechanism (generally the maximum number of transmission attempts is ten).

The XMODEM transmission procedure is completed by the cooperation of a receiving program and a sending program. The receiving program sends a negotiation character to negotiate a check method. After the negotiation, the sending program starts to send data packets. Upon receiving a complete packet, the receiving program checks the packet using the agreed method.

z If the check succeeds, the receiving program sends an ACK character and the sending program

proceeds to send the next packet.

7-11

z If the check fails, the receiving program sends a NAK character and the sending program

retransmits the packet.

Modifying Serial Communication Parameters

In actual applications, you need to make the serial interface baud rate higher to save updating time or make it lower to guarantee transmission reliability. This section introduces how to adjust the serial interface baud rate.

Enter the BootWare main menu.

z For the WA2200 series, WA2600 enhanced APs, and WA2600 outdoor APs, select 2 to enter the

serial interface submenu, and then select 3 from the submenu to modify the baud rate.

z For the WA2600 series indoor APs, select 2 to enter the serial interface submenu, and then select

5 from the submenu to modify the baud rate.

Select an appropriate baud rate. For example, select 5 for 115200 bps. The following information appears:

Baudrate has been changed to 115200 bps. Please change the terminal's baudrate to 115200 bps, press ENTER when ready.

Now that the serial interface baud rate of the AP has been changed to 115,200 bps while that of the terminal is still 9,600 bps, the AP and the terminal cannot communicate with each other. Change the baud rate to 115,200 bps in HyperTerminal.

Step1 Disconnect the terminal connection in HyperTerminal, as shown below:

Figure 7-2 Disconnect the terminal connection

Step2 Choose File > Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click Configure… and select 115,200 in the

Bits per second drop-down list box.

7-12

Figure 7-3 Modify the baud rate

Step3 Select Call > Call to reestablish the connection.

Figure 7-4 Reconnect the call

Then, press Enter in the serial interface submenu.

After downloading files with a changed baud rate, timely change the baud rate back to 9,600 bps in HyperTerminal to ensure the normal display on the console screen when the system boots or reboot s.

Upgrading an Application

Upgrading an application through the serial port is implemented in the submen u of the serial port. Enter the BootWare main menu, and select 2 to enter the serial port submenu. For more information

about this menu, see Upgrade main application wa2200_fat.bin:

Serial interface submenu.

7-13

Step1 Change the communication baud rate by referring to Modifying Serial Communication Parameters.

Select 2 from the serial interface submenu. The following prompt appears:

Please Start To Transfer File, Press <Ctrl+C> To Exit. Waiting...CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Step2 Select Transfer > Send file… in the HyperTerminal window. The following dialog box appears:

Figure 7-5 Send File dialog box

Step3 Click Browse… to select the application file to be downloaded, and select Xmodem from the Protocol

drop-down list. Then click Send. The following dialog box appe ars: Figure 7-6 Download the file using XMODEM

Upon successful download, the system displays the following information:

Download successfully! 7546496 bytes downloaded!

The system prompts you to name the application downloaded to the current storage medium:

Input the File Name:

1) If the input file name is different from the existing one, the downloaded application is given this name, for example:

7-14

Input the File Name:wa2200_fat.bin Updating File flash:/

wa2200_fat.bin......................................................

........................................................................................

..............................Done!

Return to the BootWare main menu, and enter the file control submenu to set the application as the main application. The system will boot with this application at the next boot. For more information about how to set the main application, see

the system starts).

Set the selected file as the main application program (loaded when

2) If the input file name is the same as the existing one, the system prompts:

The file is exist,will you recover it? [Y/N]

z If you select Y, the system overwrites the original application, and the AP boots with the new

application at the next boot.

z If you select N, the system prompts:

Cancel to overwrite the file. Failed!

The system cancels overwriting the existing application, and the upgrade fails.

The size of an application is typically big. Even if you change the baud rate to 115200 bps, the upgrade process takes about 30 minutes. Therefore, it is recommended that you upgrade an application through an Ethernet.

Upgrading Applications Through TFTP at the CLI

The Trivial File Tr ansfer Protocol (TFTP) is a TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer between client and server. It provides a simple and low-overhead file transfer service. TFTP provides unreliable data transfer over UDP and does not provide any access authorization and authentication mechanism. It employs the timeout retransmission method to implement best-effort delivery of data. Compared with FTP, TFTP has a much smaller software size.

Connect the Ethernet interface on the AP to the PC by using a crossover Ethernet cable. Ensure the connectivity between the AP and the PC. In the example, the IP address of VLAN-interface 1 of the AP is 192.168.0.2, and that of the PC is 192.168.0.1.

z As shown in Figure 7-8, AP serves as the TFTP client, and the PC serves as the TFTP server.

Connect AP and PC through a PoE switch. In the example, the IP address of VLAN-interface 1 of AP is 192.168.0.2, and that of the PC is 192.168.0.1.

Enable TFTP Server on the PC and set the path where the application file is stored.

The TFTP server software is not provided with the AP. Make sure that it is available by yourself.

Displaying the System Files and Available Space of the Storage Medium

Upgrading the Applications Through FTP at the CLI

When the application file is large, you can also upgrade it using FTP to save upg rade and maintenance time.

As an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is mainly used for file transfer between remote hosts. FTP provides reliable, connection-oriented data transfer service over TCP. Compared with TFTP, the FTP software is much bigger.

The AP can only serve as the FTP client, rather the FTP server to provide FTP services.

Upgrading an Application Using FTP at the CLI

Setting Up an Upgrade Environment

Set up an upgrade environment by referring to Figure 7-9 and Figure 7-10.

7-18

Automatically Managing and Upgrading the Applications Through an AC or a US

You cannot directly manage the AP working in the fit mode, b ut you can by a ssociating it with an AC or a US.

Figure 7-13 Fit AP and AC (or US) network diagram

Console

AC or US

Auto Update Server

PoE

DHCP Server

TFTP Server

You can use a DHCP server in the network to assign IP addresses for the PC and the fit AP.

Configure IP addresses in the same network segment for the TFTP server and the TFTP client. In this example, configure the IP address of the TFTP serve r as 192.168.0.1 and 192.1 68.0.2 for the Ethernet interface of AC or US connecting with the TFTP server. You can use the ping command to check whether the AP and the AC are connected successfully.

7-25

Associating the Fit AP with an AC or a US

Viewing the system information of the fit AP

Since a fit AP is uniquely associated with the AC or US by the serial-ID of the fit AP, you need to first view the serial-ID of the fit AP. Each model of the WA2200 series has a model number. The serial-ID and the model number of a fit AP are set before delivery and are printed on the barcode at the back of the AP.

Associating the fit AP with the AC or US

Follow these steps to associate the fit AP with the AC or US:

1) Enter system view.

<Sysname> system-view

2) On the AC or US, create AP view for the fit AP, with the view type consistent with the model number of the fit AP. For example, create AP view with the name aptest2 and the type WA2220X_AG.

[Sysname]wlan ap aptest2 model WA2220X-AG

3) Configure the corresponding serial-ID of the fit AP in AP view, for example, 210235A29G007C000020.

[Sysname-wlan-ap-aptest2]serial-id 210235A29G007C000020

4) Configure the first RF interface in AP view and enable and the RF interface. For example, set the RF type of the first RF interface in AP view named aptest2 to 802.11a and the channel number to 149 (with country code CN), and enable the RF interface.

[Sysname-wlan-ap-aptest2]radio 1 type dot11a [Sysname-wlan-ap-aptest2-radio-1]channel 149 [Sysname-wlan-ap-aptest2-radio-1]radio enable

After the above operations, AP view named aptest2 is associated with the fit AP whose serial-ID is 210235A29G007C000020 and you can associate the fit AP with the AC or US.

Automatically Upgrading the Application of the AP Through the AC or US

After the above configuration, you can automatically upgrade the application of the fit AP through command lines on the AC or US.

z Automatic upgrade of the AP is triggered only when the application version of the AC or US is

inconsistent with that of the AP.

z Automatic upgrade is completed by the AC or US. Do not perform any configuration on the AP.

Download the application to the Flash of the AC or US

The AC or US serves as the TFTP client, and the file server serves as the TFTP server . You can access the TFTP server from the client by typing corresponding commands, and download the application to the AC or US.

Upgrade the application of the AP

After setting an upgrade environment, perform the following operations on the terminal:

7-26

Use the dir command on the console terminal to view the files contained in the current file system and the available space.

<Sysname> dir Directory of flash:/ 0 -rw- 9102056 Jan 03 2008 10:54:34 main.bin 1 -rw- 588 Nov 29 2007 10:28:05 startup.cfg 2 -rw- 26348 Dec 06 2007 10:37:53 default.diag 31750 KB total (20874 KB free)

Download application wa2200_fit.bin of the AP from the TFTP server to the AC or US:

z If a file system with the same name exists on the AC or US, the system prompts you whether to

overwrite the existing one. Select Y/N for confirmation.

z For more information about the tftp command, see FTP and TFTP in the Fundamentals Comman d

Reference in the H3C WA Series WLAN Access Points Command Referen ces.

z The application of the AC or US must be saved under the directory Flash:/; otherwise, the

application cannot be upgraded.

Upgrade the application of the AC or US

For more information, see chapter Maintaining Software in the corresponding AC or US installation guide.

7-27

z Before upgrade, ensure the consistency of the application versions of the AP and the AC or US;

otherwise, the AP cannot work normally.

z On the AC or US, you can use the wlan apdb model-name hardware-version software-version

command to set the matrix between AP version and AC (or US) version. For more information, see

WLAN Service in the WLAN Command Reference in the H3C WA Series WLAN Access Points Command References.

Restart the AC or US

After AP application download and AC or US application upgrade, restart the AC or US:

<Sysname> reboot Start to check configuration with next startup configuration file, please wait.

........DONE!

This command will reboot the device. Continue? [Y/N]:y Now rebooting, please wait...

After AC or US reboot, all the APs associated with it will finish application upgrade and reboot automatically.

z Automatic AP upgrade results in service interruption. Therefore, perform automatic upgrade when

appropriate.

z By default, when the AP is being automatically upgrade, the AC or US does not give any prompt. z If the AP cannot work normally as a result of automatic upgrade, check whether the AP version is

consistent with the AC or US version. If not, you can download the AP application to upgrade the AP, without restarting the AC or US.

8 Troubleshooting

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot H3C WA series WLAN access points problems. If you cannot solve a system problem, contact the H3C technical support staff.

z Email address: customer_service@h3c.com z Website: http://www.h3c.com/

Symptom 1

When the AP is po wered o n, no informat ion is output on the console po rt althoug h the serial port of the PC is connected to the RJ-45 port of the AP.

Analysis

z If the serial port of the PC is connected to the network port of the AP, no information is output. z If the serial port settings are not correct, the serial port works abnormally.

Solution:

z Check whether the serial port of the PC is connected to the network port of the AP. If yes, connect

the serial port to the port with silkscreen CONSOLE on the AP panel.

z Check the serial port settings of the PC. The correct port settings should be: 9600 bps baud rate,

no parity check, and 8 data bits.

Symptom 2

When the AP is powered on, it cannot be connected to the network.

Analysis

z If the network cable is connected to the console port of the AP, the AP cannot be connected to the

network.

z If the length of the network cable exceeds the specifications (for example, 100 m, or 328.08 ft.), the

AP may not be able to connect to the network.

z If the network cable is neither a straight-through nor a cross-over cable, the AP m ay not be able to

connect to the network.

Solution:

z If the network cable is connected to the console port of the AP, connect it to the network port by

referencing the Installation Guide of the AP.

z Replace the network cable with one that meets the specifications. z Replace the network cable with a standard network cable.

Symptom 3

When a power adapter and a PoE-MH are used to supply power to the AP through the network port, the AP cannot be powered on.

Analysis

Except the power interface for the power adapter , the PoE-MH has two RJ-45 ports, with one (# 1) at the same side as the power interface, and the other (# 2) on the other side. The network cable for power supply should be plugged into RJ-45 # 2. If it is plugged into RJ-45 # 1, power cannot be supplied to the AP.

8-1

Solution:

Plug the network cable for power supply into the correct port of the PoE-MH.

Symptom 4

The optical interface of the AP cannot be connected to the network, and the output is abnormal on the serial port.

Analysis

If you insert an optical transceiver with its upside down, short circuit of clock signals will occur, and the system will work abnormally.

Solution:

Restart the AP and make sure that the optical transceiver is plugged into the AP in a right direction.

Symptom 5

The AP cannot be connected when the basic configurations of the AP are completed.

Analysis

Check that:

z The radio on the AP is not enabled. z The channel and country code settings are incorrect. z The service template is not enabled.

Solution:

z Enable the radio. z Use the country code of your own country or region. z Enable the service template.

Symptom 6

The AP signal is weak when a client is associated with the AP.

Analysis

Check that:

z The value of the max-power is too small. z No antenna is installed, or the antenna is not connected well. z The 2.4 GHz antenna is installed where the 5 GHz antenna should be installed. z The settings of the internal and external antennae are incorrect.

Solution:

z Set the max-power to the largest. z Install an antenna, and check whether the antenna is well connected. z Correctly installing the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennae. z Correctly configure the internal and external antennae.
