Checking the device before installation
Before mounting the WA2110-AG, connect it to the power adapter (if applicable) and
the Ethernet, and check the status of the LEDs to ensure that the WA2110-AG works
properly. In addition, record the MAC address of the access point for future use.
Attaching the antennas
Attach the antennas on to the antenna connectors on the access point and
hand-tighten them. After network startup, you may need to adjust the antennas to
fine-tune the coverage in your area. For best results, adjust the antennas so that they are
perpendicular with the floor or ceiling.
CAUTION:
Do not handle the antenna tips, especially after they are connected to the access point. This
can create electrostatic discharge (ESD) and damage the equipment.
Do not touch or remove the access point when its antenna is receiving or transmitting radio
frequency signals.
Connecting the access point to an access
controller/unified switch
H3C recommends installing and configuring the access controller/unified switch before
installing the access point. This is to ensure that you can verify whether the access point
works normally immediately after you connect it. For instructions on configuring the
access controller or unified switch, see
H3C WX Series Access Controllers User Manual
and
H3C WX Series Access Controllers Web-Based Configuration Manual
.
Connect the access point to an access controller/unified switch directly or indirectly
through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case, use a Category 5e
cable for the connection.
Mounting the access point
You can mount the access point on a wall, ceiling, or table top.
