Installation Preparations
This chapter describes the preparations for installing WA series WLAN access points, including the
preparation of installation tools and environment examination.
The installation preparations for the H3C WA series access points depend on the installation
environments (indoor or outdoor). For more information about the installation preparations of an AP
model, see the installation guide or quick start of the AP.
Installation Preparations
Before installing your AP:
z Power on your AP, and connect it to an Ethernet. Check the corresponding LED status on your AP,
and make sure that your AP works normally.
z Save the installation position, MAC address, and serial number of your AP, to facilitate the
management and maintenance of APs by administrators.
z Determine whether installation accessories (for example, or power adapter) are needed according
to the installation position and power supply mode of your AP. Order them in advance because
some installation accessories are not shipped with your AP, and you need to purchase them
yourself.
