Page 7: Preparing For Installation
Power supply The AP uses a power injector for power input. No power injector is provided with the AP. You can order an H3C PoE power injector to power the AP. See "Connecting the AP to a PoE injector and the network"... - Page 8 Ground resistance • The ground resistance is usually required to be less than 5 ohms, and less than 10 ohms in an area with less than 20 thunderstorm days a year. If a piece of angle steel is buried as the grounding conductor, the ground resistance is required to be less than 10 ohms.

Figure 7 Connecting an Ethernet cable to the AP Installing the AP Attaching the AP bracket to the AP CAUTION: Keep the protective vent port closed on the AP. Do not open it. Before mounting the AP on a wall or pole, attach the AP bracket to it. To attach the AP bracket to the AP: Align the mounting holes in the AP bracket with the screw holes in the rear of the AP. -
Page 15: Pole-Mounting The Ap
Figure 9 Attaching the articulating arm to the AP bracket Pole-mounting the AP Worm-gear clamps and a wall/pole bracket are required to pole-mount the AP. The worm-gear clamp provided with the AP is applicable to poles with a diameter of 65 to 90 mm (2.56 to 3.54 in). If the diameter of the pole is not in the range, prepare worm-gear clamps yourself. - Page 16 Figure 10 Securing the wall/pole bracket to the pole Use an M6 screw to secure the articulating arm (attached to the AP) to the wall/pole bracket. Figure 11 Securing the AP to the wall/pole bracket Mounting the AP on a horizontal pole Pass the worm-gear clamps through the mounting holes in the wall/pole bracket.

Figure 16 Securing the AP to the wall Positioning the AP The WA530X uses built-in antennas. After the AP installation, you can position the AP as required based on the antenna radiation patterns as shown in "Appendix C Antenna radiation patternsAppendix C Antenna radiation patterns"... - Page 20 AC power distribution box. The PoE1 port on the dual-port H3C PoE injector must be connected to the uplink network through the LAN1 port, and PoE2 through LAN2. The following procedures use the PoE1 port as an example to connect the AP.
