Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide1 Indoor AP Overview
NOTE
When the WDS/Mesh function is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of its Wireless indicator
indicates the receive signal strength on the WDS/Mesh connection by default. After you connect an AP to
a WDS/Mesh network, you can run the wifi-light { signal-strength | traffic } command on the AC to
make the Wireless indicator blinking frequency indicate receive signal strength or service traffic rate.
lwifi-light signal-strength:
l If the Mesh function is enabled on the AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicator reflects
the weakest signal strength of all neighboring APs.
l If WDS is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicator reflects the strength
of signals received from a WDS AP.
l If the AP works in leaf mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicator reflects the
strength of signals received from a middle AP.
l If the AP works in middle mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicator reflects the
strength of signals received from a root AP.
l If the AP works in root mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless indicator reflects the
weakest signal strength of middle APs.
lwifi-light traffic: allows the Wireless indicator to reflect the service traffic volume on the radio.
When an AP functions as a Fat AP, the Wireless indicator of the AP can not reflect the signal strength.
The AP6310SN-GN does not support WDS/Mesh functions; therefore, the Wireless indicator of the
AP6310SN-GN does not indicate the signal strength.

4.2 An Optical Interface Cannot Turn Up
Fault Description
After an optical interface is connected to a remote device through an optical fiber, its LINK
indicator is off.
Possible Causes
lThe optical fiber is faulty.
lThe optical module on the optical interface cannot meet the requirements.

AP3x10xN&5x10xN&5x30xN&6x10xN&7x10xN
Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide4 Hardware Failures
Troubleshooting Procedure
1.Replace the optical fiber and optical module and check whether the optical interface can
turn Up. Ensure that the optical module meets the following requirements.
2.Determine optical module attributes.
l The optical module has passed Huawei certification.
l The transmission speed of the optical module is the same as the interface speed.
l The wavelength of the optical module is the same as that of the remote optical module.
l The transmission distance of the optical module is suitable for the actual distance
between the two devices.
NOTE
l The transmission distance of an optical module is 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, 40 km, or 80 km.
The optical modules with a longer transmission distance have a higher transmit power. If an
optical module with a long transmission distance is used for short-distance transmission, the
optical interface cannot turn Up because the transmit power is too high. The high transmit
power may even burn the receiver of the remote optical module. To reduce the transmit power
in this situation, use an optical attenuator between the optical module and optical fiber.
l Optical modules with different speeds are available, for example, 155 Mbit/s, 622 Mbit/s,
and 1.25 Gbit/s. It is recommended that you use an optical module with the same speed as
the optical interface to ensure efficient optical transmission.
3.If the interface remains Down, contact Huawei technical support.

lThe room should be located at a distance of at least 5 km (3.11 mi.) from heavy pollution
sources such as smelting and coal mines. It should be located at a distance of at least 3.7
km (2.30 mi.) from moderate pollution sources such as chemical, rubber, and galvanization
factories. It should be located at a distance of at least 2 km (1.24 mi.) from light pollution
sources such as packinghouses and tanyards. If these pollution sources cannot be avoided,
ensure that the equipment room is upwind of the pollution sources. In addition, use a highquality equipment room or protection products.
lThe room should be located away from livestock farms, or be upwind of the livestock farms.
Do not use an old livestock room or fertilizer warehouse as the equipment room.
lThe equipment room must be far away from residential areas. An equipment room that is
not far away from residential areas must comply with equipment room construction
standards to avoid noise pollution.
lThe room should be located far away from industrial and heating boilers.
lThe room should be at least 3.7 km (2.30 mi.) away from the seaside or salt lake. Otherwise,
the equipment room should be airtight with cooling facilities. In addition, alkalized soil
cannot be used as the construction material. Otherwise, equipment suitable for wet
conditions must be used.
lThe doors and windows of the equipment room must be kept closed to maintain an airtight
room.
lUsing steel doors to ensure sound insulation is recommended.
lNo cracks or openings are allowed on the walls or floors. The outlet holes on the walls or

resistant, dustproof, flame retardant, sound insulated, heat absorptive, and have
electromagnetic shielding.
lThe air vent of the room should be far from the exhaust of city waste pipes, big cesspools
and sewage treatment tanks. The room should be in the positive pressure state to prevent
corrosive gases from entering the equipment room and corroding components and circuit
boards.
lIt is recommended that the room be on or above the second floor. If this requirement cannot
be met, the ground for equipment installation in the room should be at least 600 mm (23.62
in,) above the maximum flood level.
lThe equipment room should be strong enough to resist winds and downpours.
lThe room should be located away from dusty roads or sand. If this is unavoidable, the doors
and windows of the equipment room must not face pollution sources.
lDo not place air conditioning vents near the equipment so that they blow directly on the
equipment because condensation may be blown into the equipment.
lDo not use decorative materials that contain sulfur in the equipment room.

reinforcing rib at least 5 cm (1.969 in.) from the cabinet surface.
5.2.2 Requirements for Power Supply
Requirements for AC Power Supply
An AC power supply system consists of power mains, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs),
and self-supplied electric generators. In addition to meeting the requirements of the server load,
the AC power supply must have a simple connection line, safe operation, flexible scheduling,
and easy maintenance.
The low-voltage power supply should be 3-phase, 5-wire mode or monophase 3-wire mode. This
AC power supply should be 110 V/220 V, with a frequency of 50 Hz.
The UPS should supply the same power and operate at the same phase as the power mains. The
switching time between the UPS and mains should be less than 10 ms; otherwise, the networking
devices will reboot or reset.
For power distribution capacity in the equipment room, both the working current and fault current
of the devices should be considered. Ensure that independent AC power supplies protect

AC power cables should meet the following specifications:
lAC neutral should have a conductor with the same cross section as the phase line.
lAC cables should have non-flammable insulation. The layout of AC cables should comply
with local regulations. Low-voltage power distribution rooms should comply with local
regulations.
Recommendations for AC Power Supply
The following are recommendations for the AC power supply.
lIf the voltage of the power mains that supply power directly to devices exceeds the rated
voltage by -10% to 5%, or exceeds the voltage range that devices can support, a voltage
regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
lIf the mains do not supply power for the device directly, or if the mains voltage exceeds
the rated voltage by -15% to 10% or exceeds the input voltage range of the DC power
supply, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
lA UPS or inverter power supply system is required to provide uninterrupted AC power to
support the telecommunication load.
lIf abnormalities occur on the mains, telecommunication servers should be equipped with
a self-supplied electric generator to support the key telecommunication load. The capacity
should be not less than 150% to 200% of the total uninterruptible power supply.
lStorage batteries are usually installed in a parallel connection of two groups. UPS storage
batteries are generally installed in one group. The redundancy required for the UPS can
rely on concatenation or parallel connection. When an inverter or a UPS is used, the active
inverter is determined by the maximum power and a backup inverter is required.
