Huawei AP8030DN and AP8130DN is the latest-generation 802.11ac outdoor access point (AP)
that supports 3x3 MIMO. The AP is physically hardened and features enhanced outdoor
coverage performance. It supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, complies with IEEE
802.11a/b/g/n/ac, and can work as wireless bridges. The AP can provide services simultaneously
on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands to support more access users. It provides
comprehensive service support capabilities and features high reliability, high security, simple
network deployment, automatic AC discovery and configuration, and real-time management
and maintenance, which meets requirements of outdoor deployment.
Huawei AP8030DNs and AP8130DNs comply with IP67 dustproof and waterproof protection
standards, applicable to coverage scenarios (for example, squares, pedestrian streets, and
amusement parks) and bridging scenarios (for example, wireless harbors, data backhaul, video
surveillance, and train-to-ground backhaul).

The AP8130DN offers two internal DB9 ports, which have similar functions as external GE ports. In device
usage, you are advised to connect the device through the GE ports but not the DB9 ports.
CAUTION
There is a scald warning label attached on the device, warning you not to touch the device after
the device has been operating for a long time.
1.2 Indicator Description
The AP8030DN and AP8130DN provides multiple indicators: SYS indicator, Link/ACT
indicator, and Wireless indicator. The following tables describe indicators on the AP8030DN

When the WDS/mesh function is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of its Wireless LED 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 LED 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 LED reflects
the weakest signal strength of all neighboring APs.
l If WDS is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength
of signals received from a WDS AP.
l If the AP works in leaf mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength
of signals received from a middle AP.
l If the AP works in middle mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the
strength of signals received from a root AP.
l If the AP works in root mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the weakest
signal strength of middle APs.
lwifi-light traffic: allows the Wireless LED to reflect the service traffic volume on the radio.
The Fat AP does not support WDS/Mesh functions; therefore, the Wireless indicator of the Fat AP does
not indicate the signal strength.

2.4 Determining the Installation Position
When determining the AP installation position, comply with the following rules:
lDo not install the AP in the place with high temperature, dust, noxious gas, or unstable
voltage, or in the place near flammable or explosive materials and interference sources such
as a large radar station, radio station, and transformer station.
lInstall the AP 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.
lInstall the AP in a hidden position that does not affect daily lives and work 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.
The AP8030DN and AP8130DN can be installed against a pole or a wall. The AP must be
installed by professional installation personnel, and the installation position is determined
according to the site survey.
Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 shows dimensions of the AP8030DN and AP8130DN.
