Before unpacking the carton, ensure that the packing carton is intact and not damaged or
soaked. If the equipment is found eroded or damped, stop unpacking, check for the reason,
and contact the supplier.
Check items in the carton against the packing list (included in the Quick Start Guide) and
ensure that all items listed in the packing list are included in the shipment. If the quantity of
the goods is inconsistent with the packing list, contact the supplier or agent.
Usually, the packing list contains the following items.
lRemote radio unit
lScrews (including the plastic expansion tubes)
lQuick Start Guide
lWarranty card
lMAC address label
lSN label
NOTE
If a PoE adapter is required, you need to purchase it separately.
2.4 Determining the Installation Position
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
Issue 01 (2015-12-12)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
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, antennas, and other radio communication devices. For details, see
Table 2-2.
lInstall the device in hidden places and ensure that the device do 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.

installation
NOTE
If antennas are embedded into APs, the deployment distance requirements on the antennas are those on APs.
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.
2.5 Installing the R230D
NOTE
Remove the protective film on the surface before installation to prevent electrostatic discharge.
2.5.1 Installing the R230D on a Wall or Ceiling
Installing the R230D on a wall or ceiling requires expansion screws delivered with the
R230D. The procedure is as follows:
1.Determine the installation area on the wall or ceiling and use a marker to mark the
drilling positions (the distance between the two drilling positions should be 60 mm).
Issue 01 (2015-12-12)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
2.Drill holes in the marked positions and install the plastic expansion tubes.
2 AP Installation
Issue 01 (2015-12-12)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
a.Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill holes in the marked positions.
b.Hammer the plastic expansion tubes into the holes.
3.Insert the network cable into the ETH/PoE interface at the rear of the device. (Category 5
enhanced cables or higher must be used. The length of the cables cannot exceed 100 m.)
Open the front cover of the device and align screws on both sides with the plastic
expansion tubes. Secure the device using the phillips or torx security self-tapping screws
(a torx security screw has a security pin in the center to prevent theft and can be
tightened by a T20 torx security screwdriver which needs to be prepared separately by
customers).
2.Connect the network cable to the ETH/PoE interface.

3.Open the front cover of the device and align screws on both sides with the screw holes in
the 86-type box. Secure the device using phillips or torx security machine screws (a torx
security screw has a security pin in the center to prevent theft and can be tightened by a
T20 torx security screwdriver which needs to be prepared separately by customers).
4.Close the cover.

2.7 Powering on the Device
After the installation is complete, observe indicators on the device to determine the system
running status. For details, see 1.2 Indicator Description.
NOTE
Do not frequently power on and off an device.
Issue 01 (2015-12-12)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
You can log in to the device using STelnet V2 or Telnet to configure, manage, and maintain
the device in the CLI.
NOTE
l By default, only the STelnet V2 service is enabled on the device.
l Telnet has security vulnerabilities. You are not advised to enable the Telnet service.
Before logging in to the device, complete the following tasks:
lPower on the device.
lPrepare network cables used to connect device interfaces.
The following table lists the default configuration of the device. You are advised to change the
default user name and password on your first login.
Table 3-1 Default configuration of the device
Parameter
User nameadmin
Passwordadmin@huawei.com
IP address169.254.1.1
Subnet mask255.255.0.0
Default Setting
NOTE
If the device is already online on the AC, you can remotely log in to the AC on a local terminal and run the
display ap all command to check the IP address of the device.
The following example uses the default parameters and is used for reference only.
Step 1 Use network cables and a LAN switch to connect the PC to the network interface of the
device.
Issue 01 (2015-12-12)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
Step 2 Assign the PC with an IP address on the same network segment as the default IP address of
the device so that the PC and device are reachable to each other.
If the device uses the default settings, the IP address of the PC must be in the network
segment 169.254.0.0/16 but cannot be 169.254.1.1. 169.254.1.100 is recommended.
Step 3 Start the CLI on the PC and access the IP address 169.254.1.1 of the device using STelnet V2.
Step 4 Enter the user name and password as prompted to log in to the user interface.

lThe power sourcing equipment does not support the PoE function or is faulty.
lThe power sourcing equipment is incorrectly configured (the PoE function is disabled or
the power-off time range is improperly set).
lThe line is faulty (the network cable or distribution frame is damaged).
lThe device is faulty.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1.Check whether the power sourcing equipment supports PoE or is faulty.
2.Check whether the configuration on the power sourcing equipment causes PoE power
supply errors, such as the PoE function is disabled or the power-off time range is
incorrectly set.
3.Check whether the network cable or distribution frame is faulty.
4.If the device still cannot be powered on, the device itself is faulty. Contact Huawei
technical support engineers or Huawei agent and ask them to replace the device.

If you are proficient in assembling OT terminals and power cables, you can obtain the value of L1 by
comparing the part to be crimped with the power cable.
Step 2 Put the heat-shrinkable (A) tubing onto the bare crimping terminal, as shown in Figure 5-3.
Figure 5-3 Putting the heat shrink tubing onto the bare crimping terminal
5 Appendix
Step 3 Put the OT terminal B onto the exposed conductor, and ensure that the OT terminal is in good
contact with the insulation coating C, as shown in Figure 5-3.
NOTICE
After the conductor is fed into the OT terminal, the protruding part of the conductor, or L2 in
Figure 5-3, must not be longer than 2 mm (0.08 in.).
Step 4 Crimp the joint parts of the bare crimping terminal and the conductor, as shown in Figure 5-4.
NOTE
The shapes of crimped parts may vary with the crimping dies.
Figure 5-4 Crimping the joint parts of the bare crimping terminal and the conductor (OT
terminal)
Issue 01 (2015-12-12)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
Step 5 Push the heat shrink tubing (A) toward the connector until the tube covers the crimped part,
and then use a heat gun to heat the tube, as shown in Figure 5-5.

NOTICE
Stop heating the shrink tubing when the connector is securely locked in the shrink tubing. Do
not heat the shrink tubing too long as this may damage the insulation coating.
