Safety Guidelines
Observe all safety regulations and precautions
·To ensure personal and equipment safety, observe all the safety precautions on the equipment and in this document.
CAUTION contents do not cover all the safety precautions and are only supplementary.
·Follow all the safety precautions and instructions provided by Huawei. The safety precautions outlined in this document are only those that Huawei can predict. Huawei is not liable for any consequence that results from violation of regulations pertaining to safe operations or safety codes pertaining to design, production, and equipment use.
CAUTION
·Take ESD protection measures during equipment installation and maintenance. For example, wear ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap.
·During equipment transport and installation, prevent the equipment from colliding with objects like doors, walls, or shelves. Do not touch unpainted surfaces of the parts or components with wet or contaminated gloves.
Site Environment
·Install the device in an environment free of high temperature, dust, unstable voltage, vibration, strong noise, and noxious, flammable, 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 flowing 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 traffic. The selected site should comply with the environment design specifications 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
When fixing the sheet metal mounting bracket, ensure that the arrows point upwards on the UP label.
1Attach the mounting bracket against the wall and adjust its position properly. Mark positions of the mounting holes
with a marker.
85 mm
2Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill 30 mm to 35 mm deep holes in the marked positions. Hammer the expansion tubes into the holes until they are completely embedded into the wall.

3Fix the mounting bracket to the wall, and use the Phillips screwdriver to fasten three expansion screws into the expansion tubes.
Scenario 2: Ceiling Mounting
1Remove 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.

NOTE
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.
2Align 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 horizontally until it snaps into place (you can hear a click).

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 qualified 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 qualified. If the cable is unqualified, 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 specifications.
NOTE
For details about cable connections, log in to Support-E and see "Cable Connection" in Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide of this AP model.
Logging In to the Device for the First Time
Wired Connection Mode:
·By default, the IP address and subnet mask of the device are 169.254.1.1 and 255.255.0.0, respectively. The default user name and password are admin and admin@huawei.com. Configure an IP address on 169.254.x.x (excluding 169.254.1.1) for the PC.
·You are advised to change the user name and password on your first login.
·If the device works as a Fit AP and is already online on the AC, you can remotely log in to the AC and run the display ap all command to check the IP address of the device.

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.
