3 Installing the AP
Note:
1) Make sure that no metal particles (such as screws) fall into the Ethernet or
console interfaces during installation.
2) Before installing the WA2612-AGN to the wall-mounting bracket, connect the
network cable. The network cable can only be UTP cat-5.
3) Before connecting the console cable to the WA2612-AGN for debugging or
pressing the reset button, you need to remove the device from the
wall-mounting bracket.
Determining the Installation Site
Determine the installation site by observing the following principles:
Install the AP in an area away from obstacles that can cause interference.
Keep the AP far away from electronic devices (such as microwave ovens)
that may generate RF noise.
Ensure that the installation site will not cause any inconvenience or
nuisance.
Note:
1) Make sure the ceiling is strong enough and the structure is suitable in case of
ceiling mounting. Reinforce the ceiling if needed.
2) Us a Kensington lock if physical security is required to protect the AP from
being stolen.
Installing the AP
The WA2612-AGN support three installation methods:
Mounting the AP on a wall
Mounting the AP on a ceiling
Mounting the AP to a T-rail
Mounting the AP on a Wall
The following describes how to mount an WA2612-AGN on a wall:
Installing the wall-mounting bracket on the wall
Installing the AP on the wall-mounting bracket
Locking the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket (optional)
Installing the wall-mounting bracket on the wall
Step1
Place the wall-mounting bracket tightly against the wall where the AP is to be
mounted and mark the locations to drill holes for installing the screws. Then
use a drill with a bit of 6 mm (1/4 in) in diameter to drill holes in the wall. The
hole pattern must be identical with that in the wall-mounting bracket.
