802.11AC Wireless Access Point Installation Manual Chapter 3 AP Installation 3-1 Chapter 3 AP Installation Because the installation position of WL8200 series indoor AP is high normally, the maintenance personal cannot maintain and debug through the console port to login the device after installation. We suggest user conducting the basic configuration according to need before installing the AP to the appointed position. 3.1 Installation Process Fig 3-1 AP installation flow diagram
802.11AC Wireless Access Point Installation Manual Chapter 3 AP Installation 3-2 3.2 Checking before Installation Please check the following items before the AP installation: z Please power to the AP first and connect the AP to the Ethernet, then check the LED status to make sure the AP can work normally. z Please ensure to complete the wiring in the position of AP installation. z WL8200 series indoor AP supports 802.3af and 802.3at standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) power. If user wants to get the maximum performance, user can use the 1000M connection method. z Please record AP’s MAC address and serial number (MAC address and serial number are on the back of the AP) first for convenient to find and use. 3.3 Ensure the Installation Position The rules of installation position are as below: z Cut back the obstacles (such as walls) between AP and the user terminal device as much as possible. z Make the AP’s position far away from the electrical device that can bring the RF noise (such as the microwave). z The installation position should be hidden as much as possible to prevent disturbing the inhabitants. z Strictly forbid to install the AP in the environment with hydrocephalus, seepage, water-clock and condensation. And user should avoid the water flowing into the device along the cable. If there is outdoor cable, please check if installed the network port SPD beside the AP, the network port SPD should be provided by user. 3.4 Install WL8200 Series WL8200 Series can be installed indoor only and there are two methods supported: z Wall hanging installation z T-keel installation 3.4.1 Wall Hanging Installation If install the AP on the wall, use the supporting expansion screw tubes and screws of the wall mounting. After received the device, the expansion screw tubes and screws as below in the accessory bag can be found.
802.11AC Wireless Access Point Installation Manual Chapter 3 AP Installation 3-3 Fig 3-2 wall mounting screws When installed with wall hanging method, please connect the Ethernet cable to the AP first and then install the AP on the wall mounting bracket. (1) Connect the AP to the wired LAN by using the cable (2) Mark the positions of two holes on the wall and the distance between them is 65 mm. And then punch two holes with the impact drill; (3) Insert the expansion bolt into the holes and use the rubber hammer beating it until the expansion bolt got into the wall completely; (4) Screw the screws in the two plastic expansion screw tubes. Please do not screw them in the tubes completely, keep 3-5 mm out of them; (5) Make the two holes on the back of the AP hang on the two screws; (6) After hanging the AP, push the AP down and the AP will be locked on the wall.
