The Cable Connections of indoor APs:
No. Cable Description
1 2.4G/5G dual-band antenna
Connects a 2.4G/5G Dual-band antenna to the AP to send and receive wireless
signals. This port is provided only on APs that support external antennas.
2 Console Connects to a maintenance terminal for AP conguration and management.
3 GE/PoE Connects to the wired Ethernet and supports PoE input.
The AP supports the PoE power supply and DC power supply.
·
4 DC 12V
To connect the AP to a DC power source, use the power adapter delivered with the
·
AP; otherwise, the AP maybe damaged.
5 Security slot
Fasten the cable of the security lock to an immovable object around, and insert the
security lock into the security slot and lock it.
Site Environment
Install the device in an environment free of high temperature, dust, unstable voltage, vibration, strong noise, and noxious,
·
ammable, or explosive gases or smoke, as well as free of interference sources such as large radar stations, radio stations,
and electrical substations.
Install the AP in a dry environment away from sources of water, and take protective measures to prevent water from owing
·
into the equipment along the cable.
Install the device in a hidden places and ensure that the device do not disturb daily work and life of residents.
·
Make the engineering design by fully considering such factors as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and
·
trafc. The selected site should comply with the environment design specications of communications equipment.
Select installation positions based on the site survey. Leave at least 200 mm clearance between the outlet and the wall.
·
The mounted position should be able to bear four times the total weight of the device and mounting bracket. When the total
·
weight of the device and mounting bracket is less than 1.25 kg, the load bearing capability of the wall must be greater than or
equal to 5 kg
.
Installing the Device
Scenario 1: Wall Mounting Scenario 2: Ceiling Mounting
When fixing the sheet metal mounting bracket, ensure that the
arrows point upwards on the label.
Attach the mounting bracket against the wall and adjust
its position properly. Mark positions of the mounting holes
with a marker.
56 mm
Remove a ceiling tile and 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 fasten the mounting bracket
with the ceiling tile.
47 mm
Pay attention to the following points when installing external antennas:
Antennas of the outdoor APs must comply with local laws and regulations.
·
Antennas need to be installed by qualied personnel. An AP can only use the antennas delivered with it.
·
Pay attention to the following points when installing cables:
Before connecting an Ethernet cable to the AP, use the cable test tool to check whether the cable is qualied. If the cable is
·
unqualied, replace it.
The service network cable and PoE input cable cannot be connected to the console port.
·
The cable cannot exceed 100 meters.
·
The network cable must be a Cat5e cable or higher specications.
·

The screws provided for ceiling-mounting are 30 mm long and
can be used to fix the device on a ceiling not thicker than 15
mm.To install devices on thicker ceilings, customers need to
purchase longer screws.
Align the rubber feet of the device over the mounting
slots on the mounting bracket and vertically push the AP
to secure it. When the spring clip is popped up, push the

Common Errors in Network Planning
No. Error Case Analysis Corrective Action
1 Fat APs are used to achieve
large-scale wireless network
coverage.
2 Antennas are deployed too
close, or electromagnetic
interference exists near the
antennas.
3 An indoor settled AP is deployed
in a corridor to provide wireless
coverage for the six rooms on
both sides of the corridor.
Fat APs are applicable only to
small-scale SOHO ofce scenarios
and cannot implement inter-AP
roaming. Therefore, Fat APs are
not recommended in large-scale
coverage scenarios.
Signal interference affects data
transmission.
Generally, washing rooms or
compartments exist in rooms.
Radio signals attenuate
significantly when penetrating
walls, which affects service
experience. Densely deployed
APs in the corridor can also lead
to co-channel interference. Such a
plan is not recommended.
In large-scale wireless network coverage scenarios, use
the AC+Fit AP networking.
Properly control the distance between antennas. It
is recommended that you comply with the following
requirements:
1. Ensure that antennas are deployed no less than 7 m.
In semi-open indoor areas, ensure that APs are around
20 m away from each other.
2. Deploy antennas at least 5 m away from 4G antennas.
3. Keep antennas away from electronic equipment that
may cause radio interference, such as microwave ovens.
In a scenario where rooms are on both sides of the
corridor, you are advised to deploy agile distributed
devices or wall plate APs in the rooms to implement
indoor coverage. Alternatively, you can deploy indoor
settled APs in the rooms in W-shaped mode. Do not
deploy indoor settled APs in two rooms facing each
other on both sides of the corridor.

Align the rubber feet of the device over the mounting
slots on the mounting bracket and vertically push the
AP to secure it. When the spring clip is popped up, push
the AP downward until it snaps into place (you can hear
a click).
Scenario 3: T-rail Mounting
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.

NOTE
Before fixing the adjustable buckle with a screw, you need to
adjust the buckle to a proper position based on the T-rail width.
Installation Precautions
After the AP is installed on the mounting bracket, to further
·
strengthen the fastening effect, tighten an M4x30 screw on
the mounting bracket.
The T-rail, or the wall, or the ceiling needs to bear the weight
·
of four times the total weight of the device and mounting
bracket without damage.
The following figure shows the T-rail dimensions
·
requirements (t: thickness; w: width).
NOTE
Ensure that the device is securely installed on the mounting
bracket and leave a certain space above and around the device
for maintenance.
Removing an AP
Flip the spring clip on the mounting bracket and slip the
AP towards the spring clip. Release the spring clip until the
rubber feet of the AP enter the mounting keyholes. Remove
the AP from the mounting bracket.
NOTE
If a captive screw is installed, remove the screw and then follow
the preceding steps to uninstall the AP.
