Check before installation
Before you install an AP, check the following:
• Connect the power cord and connect the AP to the network. Check the
LED status to make sure that the AP can operate properly. For more
information about AP LEDs, see “ Appendix LEDs and ports .”
• Check that cabling has been completed.
• The WA2620i-AGN supports 802.3af-compliant PoE. To achieve the best
performance, H3C recommends that you adopt GE connection to the
power device.
• Record the MAC address and serial number of the AP (marked on the
rear of the AP) for future use.
Determining the installation position
Determine the installation position by observing the following principles:
• Leave as few obstacles (such as wall) as possible between APs and
clients.
• Install APs away from electronic devices (such as microwave ovens) that
may generate radio frequency (RF) noise.
• Install APs in a place where they will not hinder people’s daily work and
life.
• Do not install APs in a place where water seeping, water soaking, and
condensing occur. Prevent water or moisture from entering the APs.
CAUTION:
If part of the power line is routed outdoors, use a power strip with lightning
protection (user supplied) to connect the power cord of the AP to the power
line to protect the AP from being damaged by lightning strikes.
