Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
Figure 2-2 Dimensions of an AP2030DN (unit: mm)
When determining the device installation position, comply with the following rules:
lDo not deploy the device in places with high temperature, dust, noxious gas, unstable
voltage, much vibrations, or strong noise, or in places near flammable or explosive
materials and interference sources such as a large radar station, radio station, and
transformer station.
lInstall the device 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.
lPlace the AP far away from electronic devices that may produce radio interference, such
as microwave ovens, other APs, antennas, and other radio communication devices. For
details, see Table 2-2.
lInstall the device in hidden places and ensure that the device does not disturb daily work
and life of residents.
lMake the engineering design by fully considering such factors as hydrology, geology,
earthquake, electric power, and traffic. The selected site should comply with the
environment design specifications of communications equipment.
lIndoor devices 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.

Deployment Distance Requirement
l There should be at least a 7 m distance between antennas.
l The antennas should be placed at least 2 m from the 4G antennas of
the carrier.
l The antennas should be placed far away from electronic devices that
may produce interference, such as microwave ovens.
NOTE
If antennas are embedded into APs, the deployment distance requirements on the antennas are those on APs.

NOTE
It is recommended that the length of the cable in the 86-type box should be smaller than 130 mm.
You are advised to connect cables according to the figure.
4.Align the screw holes at the right and left of the device with the screw holes on the box
and secure the device on the box with a screwdriver.

5.Close the panel to complete installation.
2.5.2 Installing the Device into Other Junction Boxes
Issue 05 (2016-07-22)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
AP2030DN
Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
Installing the device into a junction box (excluding an 86-type box) requires sheet metal
mounting brackets (delivered with screws), which need to be purchased separately. The
procedure is as follows:
1.Determine locations of mounting holes on the sheet metal mounting bracket based on the
distance between screw holes on the junction box. (In the following example, the screw
holes on the junction box are 83.5 mm distant from each other.)
2 AP Installation
2.Use screws to fix the mounting bracket to the junction box. Ensure that the UP
arrowhead points upwards. If the screw holes on the junction box do not match the M4
screws, customers need to prepare the fastening screws by themselves.
3.Connect the network cable to the GE/PoE interface and the telephone line to the phone
interface.

2.5.3 Installing the Device on a Wall or Ceiling
Issue 05 (2016-07-22)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
AP2030DN
Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
Installing the Device on a wall or ceiling requires sheet metal mounting brackets (delivered
with screws), which need to be purchased separately. The procedure is as follows:
1.Determine the target area on a wall or ceiling, attach the sheet metal mounting bracket
against the wall, and mark positions of the mounting holes with a marker.
2 AP Installation
2.Drill holes at the marked positions and install the plastic expansion tubes.
a.Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill holes at the marked positions.
b.Hammer the plastic expansion tubes into the holes.
3.Use the flat washer and self-tapping screws to fasten the mounting bracket to the wall or
ceiling. If the device is installed against the wall, ensure that UP arrowhead faces
upwards.

Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
NOTE
l The Ethernet cable must work properly; otherwise, the device may fail to be powered on or cannot
run properly. Before connecting an Ethernet cable to the AP, use the cable test tool to check whether
the cable is qualified. If not, replace the cable.
l The cable cannot exceed 100 meters.
l When PoE and power adapter power supplies are available, the device is preferentially powered by
the PoE.
