The R250D in Huawei Agile Distributed Wi-Fi Solution is applicable to scenarios with highdensity rooms and complex wall structures, such as schools, hotels, hospitals, and office
meeting rooms. Huawei R250D uses an 86 mm plate in compliance with international
standards and can be easily installed into an 86–type box in a room. It is equipped with a
built-in antenna and a hidden indicator; therefore, installation of the R250D does not affect
indoor decorations or designs. It also has an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ac Wave 2 wireless
module and can work on both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. It supports PoE power
supply, and can be directly connected to a central AP and deployed in a room. The central AP
and the R250D are connected through network cables, which greatly extends the coverage
range, enhances flexibility in AP deployment and planning, and reduces the engineering
construction costs.

contact the supplier or agent.
Usually, the packing list contains the following items.
lRemote Unit
lExpansion screws
lScrew
lQuick start guide
lWarranty card
lMAC address label
lSN label
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
materials and interference sources such as a large radar station, radio station, and
transformer station.
Issue 01 (2016-09-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
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 does 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.
Table 2-2 General anti-interference requirements
2 AP Installation
Scenario

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 Device
NOTE
Remove the protective film on the surface before installation to prevent electrostatic discharge.
2.5.1 Installing the Device on a Wall or Ceiling
Installing the device on a wall or ceiling requires expansion screws. The procedures are 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 (2016-09-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
2.Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill 25 mm to 30 mm deep holes in the drilling positions.
Hammer the expansion tubes into the holes until the expansion tubes are completely
embedded into the wall.
2 AP Installation
Issue 01 (2016-09-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
3.Connect the cables. For details, see 2.6 Cable Connection.
4.Open the front cover of the device, align screws on both sides with the plastic expansion
tubes, and use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two screws.
5.Close the cover. If torx security screws are used to prevent theft, use a T9 torx security
screwdriver to tighten the torx security screws into the device.
2 AP Installation
NOTE
You need to separately prepare the T9 torx security screwdriver.
2.5.2 Installing the Device into an 86-Type Box
Installing the device in an 86-type box requires expansion screws delivered with the device.
The procedure is as follows:
1.Use a screwdriver to remove the 86-type panel from the wall (skip this step if no 86-type
panel is installed on the wall).
Issue 01 (2016-09-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
2.Connect the network cable to the GE0/PoE_IN interface.

3.Connect the cables. For details, see 2.6 Cable Connection.
4.Open the front cover of the device, align screws on both sides with the screw holes in the
86-type box, and use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two screws.
5.Close the cover. If torx security screws are used to prevent theft, use a T9 torx security
screwdriver to tighten the torx security screws into the device.
Issue 01 (2016-09-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
Pay attention to the following points when bundling the cables:
lDifferent types of cables must be separately routed with the minimum spacing of 30 mm
and cannot be entangled or crossed. Cables should be parallel or separated using
dedicated separators.
lBundled cables are closely arranged, straight, tidy, and undamaged.
lCable ties are bound neatly facing the same direction, and those at the same horizontal
line must be in a straight line. Cable tie tails should be cut smoothly and evenly.
Description
l CAT5e cables or higher must be used.
l The length of a cable cannot exceed 100 m.
l The Ethernet cable must work properly; otherwise, the
device may fail to be powered on or cannot run properly.
Before connecting an Ethernet cable to the R250D, use the
cable test tool to check whether the cable is qualified. If not,
replace the cable.
NOTICE
Do not insert a PoE input cable into the GE1 port.
lLabels or nameplates must be attached to the cables after they are installed.
2.7 Checking the Device After Installation
Table 2-4 shows the items to be checked after installation is complete. For more details, see

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

Passwordadmin@huawei.com
IP address169.254.1.1
Subnet mask255.255.0.0
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.
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 technical
support personnel or Huawei agent and ask them to replace the device.
