    If the package is found to be rusted or water soaked, stop unpacking and contact your local dealer immediately. Three omni antennas are shipped with the WA2610E-AGN, while six omni antennas are shipped with the WA2620E-AGN. Preparing Installation Tools When installing the AP, you may need the tools listed in Table 2-2.
  • Page 19: Examining The Installation Site

    Table 2-2 is for reference only. If you install the AP on a tabletop, none of the above tools is required. Examining the Installation Site Before installation, examine the installation site to make sure that the AP will work in a good environment. You can examine the installation site from the following two aspects.
  • Page 20: Power Supply

    Specification Range –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to Storage temperature +158°F) Relative humidity 10% to 95% (noncondensing) Power Supply Check that the power supply of the installation site is stable. The centralized AC power system consisting of the AC mains, UPS, and user-supplied diesel generator should be: Easy to connect Safe to operate...
  • Page 21: Grounding And Lightning Protection

    If the voltage is unstable, a voltage regulator or stabilizer is required. An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) is required for uninterrupted communication. Grounding and Lightning Protection Table 2-5 Grounding and lightning protection requirements Item Requirements The grounding resistance is typically required to be less than 5 ohms, and less than 10 ohms in an area that has less than 20 thunderstorm days a year.
  • Page 22 Item Requirements If a grounding strip is available at the site, attach the yellow-green PGND cable of the AP to the grounding strip. The PGND cable must have a cross-section area of at least 6 mm (0.01 in and a length not longer than 3 m (9.84 ft). If no grounding strip is available at the site, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth.
  • Page 23 Item Requirements In a plain area, the protection angel of the lightning rod should be less than 45 degrees. In a mountainous area or lightning intensified area, the Lightning protection angle should be less than 30 degrees. The lightning protection ground (for example, the ground of the lightning rod) and the protection ground of the equipment room should be connected to the same earthing conductor.
  • Page 24: Installing The Ap

    Installing the AP The WA2600 series WLAN APs can be directly fixed onto a wall by using the wall-mounting brackets. The following introduces the wall-mounting procedure of the WA2600 series in detail. Installation Flowchart Figure 3-1 shows the installation flowchart of the WA2600 series. Figure 3-1 Installation flowchart Start Determine the...
  • Page 25: Installing The Ap On A Wall

    Keep the AP far away from electronic devices (such as microwave ovens) that may generate RF noise. Install the AP in a place where it will not hinder people’s daily work and life. Make sure the ceiling is strong enough and the structure is suitable in case of ceiling mounting.

    Figure 3-4 Fix the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket Expansion screw Hook Locking the AP onto the Wall-Mounting Bracket (Optional) The WA2600 series APs have a security slot on the top, which can be used to lock the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket to prevent theft. Follow these steps to lock the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket: 1) Insert the locking plate into the security slot on the top of the AP.

  • Page 31: Connecting The Power Supply

    Connecting the Power Supply Local Power Supply Connect the AP to the power source through the power adapter, as shown in Figure 3-6. Figure 3-6 Local power supply connection Power over Ethernet If the uplink device of the AP is a PoE-capable switch or the like, use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet interface of the AP to the PoE-capable device.
  • Page 32: Connecting The Ap To The Network

    In the PoE mode, you do not need to connect the power interface to a power source. You only need to connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface of the AP and the other end to an Ethernet interface of the PoE-capable device (for example, an Ethernet switch).
