2.3.2 Checking the Device Before Installation
Before mounting the H3C WA2110-AG, connect it to the power
supply (if applicable) and an Ethernet, and check the status of LEDs to
ensure that the H3C WA2110-AG can work properly. In addition,
record the MAC address of the access point for future use.
2.3.3 Attaching the Antennas
Screw 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 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 could lead to electrostatic discharge (ESD),
which could damage the equipment.
2.3.4 Mounting the Access Point
The access point can be mounted on walls, ceilings or tabletops.

I. Wall, Ceiling Mounting
To mount the access point to a wall, follow the given steps below:
1) Remove the access point from the mounting bracket.
2) Route the power cable (if you use an external power supply)
and Ethernet cable on the back of the mounting bracket, as
shown in Figure 2-3.
Caution:
For easy installation and removal of the access point from the
mounting bracket, make sure that there is sufficient flexibility with the
cable and that the cable is long enough. If not enough cable is routed
through the back of the mounting bracket, or if the cable is inflexible, it
can be difficult to install or remove the access point from the mounting
bracket.

3) Mount the mounting bracket to a wall or ceiling, as shown in
Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4 Mount the mounting bracket
4) Connect the Ethernet cable (and power cable, if applicable)
to the port(s) on the front of the access point.
5) Align the bottom of the access point with the mounting
bracket, and press the access point backward. Then, the
access point can be mounted in the mounting bracket
properly.
6) To prevent the access point from being stolen, insert the
locking bar (as shown in (1) of Figure 2-5) into the opening in
the side of the mounting bracket. Push the locking bar
through the opening until the hole on the locking bar is
exposed. Insert a lock through the hole on the locking bar
(as shown in (2) of Figure 2-5), and then close the lock to
secure it in place.

location that is clear of obstructions and provides good reception.
II. Tabletop Mounting
To install the access point on a flat surface such as a table or
desktop, follow the given steps below:
1) Remove the access point from the mounting bracket.
2) Place the access point on the table.
3) Connect the Ethernet cable (and power cable, if applicable)
to the port(s) on the front of the access point.

2.4 Connecting the Access Point to a
Wireless Control Manager
You can connect the access point directly to a wireless control
manager or indirectly to a wireless control manager through an
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case, use Category
5 cable with straight-through signaling for each access point
connection.
Warning:
Do not connect or disconnect Ethernet cables or otherwise work with
the access point during periods of lightning activity.
You are recommended to install and configure the wireless
control manager before installing the access point. If the wireless
control manager is already installed and configured for the access
point, you can immediately verify whether the device works normally
after you plug the cable into the access point. For instructions on
configuring the wireless control manager, refer to H3C Wireless
Control Manager Operation Manual and H3C Wireless Control
Manager Command Manual.
