Page 26: Installation Of Outdoor Aps
Installation of Outdoor APs The outdoor models of the WA2200 series are H3C WA2210X-G and H3C WA2220X-AG. You can select an appropriate model according to the actual requirement. The two outdoor models are waterproof, dustproof, and lightningproof. Installation Flowchart You can install your outdoor AP on a wall or a pole. As a wireless device, the installation location directly affects the coverage and performance of wireless signals. - Page 27 Figure 4-2 Installation flowchart of the AP on a wall Start Mark Drill holes Install anchors Fix the wall-mounting bracket Fix the AP Mark Step Operation Put the wall-mounting bracket on the installation position against the wall. Mark three expansion screw holes on the wall. For the distance (in mm) between the expansion screw holes, see Figure 4-3.
- Page 28 Figure 4-3 Wall-mounting bracket structure and positions of screw holes 195.0 135.0 80.0 70.0 40.0 220.0 Drill holes Step Operation Use a percussion drill with a 6-mm (0.24-in) bit to drill holes on the three markings. Observe the following precautions when drilling: Hold the drill handle with both hands, with the bit perpendicular to the wall surface, and prevent wall damage or tilted holes.
- Page 29 Step Operation Put an anchor into each hole vertically. Tap the flat end of the anchor with a rubber hammer until the anchor is flush with the wall surface. Fix the wall-mounting bracket Step Operation Align the three holes in the wall-mounting bracket with the anchors and insert three expansion screws through the installation holes into the anchors.

Page 32: Installing An Outdoor Antenna
Figure 4-9 Install the outdoor AP on a horizontal pole Step6 Fix the AP onto the mounting plate with screws (see the dashed line and arrow in Figure 4-8 or Figure 4-9). You can first install the fixing support onto the pole and then the AP onto the mounting plate, or vice versa. - Page 33 Follow these steps to install a pole on a parapet: Step1 Weld the lightning rod onto the tip of the pole. Step2 Install the pole on a parapet or cement pier. Step3 Use a 40 × 4 mm (1.57 × 0.16 in) flat steel to connect the pole to the ground grid Step4 Use pole-mounting brackets to install the directional outdoor antenna on the pole.
- Page 34 If there are parapets around the building top and the parapet height is less than 1200 mm (47.24 in), fix one point of the pole to the parapet with one expansion bolt and the other point to the building top surface with another expansion bolt, and fix the directional outdoor antenna onto the pole with pole-mounting brackets (see the right diagram in Figure 4-10).

Page 36: Connecting External Cables
Figure 4-14 Install an omni antenna on the AP directly After the omni antenna is installed on the AP, the antenna should be at least one meter away from the pole or other metal objects. The outdoor AP and the feeder lightning arrester are each equipped with a 3-meter-long grounding cable. - Page 37 Step2 Connect one end of the RF cable to the feeder lightning arrester and the other end to the outdoor antenna. Step3 Wrap each joint with insulation tape first, and then with waterproof tape. It is recommended to install a feeder lightning arrester on each antenna interface and ground it well.
- Page 38 Figure 4-16 Connect the Ethernet optical interface to the uplink device Figure 4-17 Exploded view of the port lightning protector (PoE) If the uplink device is a PoE switch, no port lightning protector or power adapter is required. It is not recommended to provide power to the AP using a PoE switch.
- Page 39 Since an Ethernet cable needs to pass through a waterproof cover for waterproof purpose (an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector is unable to pass through), you need to prepare an Ethernet cable connector on site. Usually a category-5 or enhanced category-5 twisted pair cable is adopted. Figure 4-18 shows an Ethernet cable connector.
- Page 40 Pin of RJ-45 Category-5 twisted pair Pin of RJ-45 Signal Signal direction connector cable connector White (green) — Blue — — White (blue) — Green — White (brown) — — Brown — When distinguishing or preparing these two types of Ethernet cables, you can refer to the above tables.
- Page 41 Connecting an optical fiber Be sure to follow the instructions below when connecting a fiber cable. Otherwise, the AP may get damaged. When connecting the AP to the remote device through a fiber cable, use an appropriate SFP module. The SFP modules provided by H3C can be used outdoor. These SFP modules use single-mode optic fibers and have a transmission distance of 15 km (9.32 miles).
- Page 42 The fiber cable is a 10-meter tail fiber with a waterproof cover. One end of the fiber is an LC connector with a waterproof joint, and the other end is an SC connector, which can be connected to a fiber or device.

Page 43: Powering On The Ap
If a PoE switch is used to supply power, no port lightning protector or power adapter is required. It is not recommended to provide power to the AP using a PoE switch over a long distance. To supply power to the AP through a port lightning protector, you need to connect the port lightning protector to the switch. -
