Ethernet (PoE) compliant device such as a PoE Power switch or a PoE injector. For maximum Requirement performance, H3C recommends that you use a Gigabit link. Record the AP MAC address in a safe place before the AP is installed in a hard-to-reach location.
Wall or Electrical Box Mounting To install your AP on a wall or electrical box, use the mounting bracket that comes with the device. Follow these steps: 1) Following these guidelines, screw the mounting bracket to a wall or electrical box (NEMA enclosure): The mounting bracket tabs should be pointing upward.
Tabletop Mounting To install the AP on a flat surface such as a table or desktop, follow these steps: 1) Insert the tabs on the table stand into the slots on the side of the AP, as shown in the illustration. Align the cable routing cut out toward the upper part of the stand.
4) Connect the Ethernet cable for power and network connection to the LAN port on the back of the AP. Ceiling Mounting To install your AP on the Ceiling, use the ceiling bracket kit that comes with the device. Follow these steps: 1) Attach the metal slider to the back of the AP using the two small screws.
Page 20
2) Clip the metal ceiling bracket to a suitably located ceiling tile separator. 3) Slide the moveable section into place and tighten the screw (found underneath) to secure it.
Page 21
4) Position the AP so that the two tabs from the ceiling bracket can be inserted in the slots in the AP. 5) Slide the slider across to lock the AP to the bracket.
Connecting Power This section describes how to power the AP in the following ways: By Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplied over the LAN by an 802.3af PoE compliant device such as a switch. By PoE supplied by a PoE injector or midspan (not included with the AP).
Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the LAN To power the AP using PoE provided by a switch or other 802.3af compliant device, plug the network cable from the device into the AP’s Ethernet port. Power over Ethernet from a PoE Injector To power the AP using a PoE injector or midspan (not included), follow these steps: 1) Connect the LAN cable from a switch to the Switch port on the...
