2.3 Determining the Installation Position
When determining the AP installation position, comply with the following rules:
Try to reduce the number of obstacles, such as walls, between the AP and user terminals.
Install the AP away from electronic devices that can cause radio interference, such as the
microwave oven.
Install the AP in a hidden position that does not affect daily lives and work of residents.
Install the AP in a site that is free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and
humidity, and take protective measures to prevent water from flowing into the equipment
along the cable.
Indoor APs are usually mounted on a wall or ceiling using sheet metal mounting brackets. The
installation position is determined by the site survey. There must be at least 200 mm clearance
between the cabling end of the AP and the wall. Figure 2-1 shows dimension and Figure 2-2
shows space requirements.

1. Remove a ceiling tile, determine locations of mounting holes based on the distance
between two installation holes on the mounting bracket, use a hammer drill to drill
hole on the ceiling tile, and fix the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile.
2. Hang the AP on the mounting holes by aligning the mounting screws at the rear of
the AP with the mounting screws on the bracket and push the AP horizontally to
secure the AP.
The screws provided for ceiling-mounting of APs are 30 mm long and can be used to fix an
AP on a ceiling not thicker than 15 mm. To install APs on thicker ceilings, you need to
purchase longer screws.
Ensure that the AP is correctly installed on the mounting bracket and there must be 200 mm
space above and around the AP for maintenance.
2.4.3 T-rail Mounting
1. Remove two ceiling tiles around the T-rail (1), use screws (2) to fix the adjustable buckle
(3) to the mounting bracket (4), hook the adjustable buckle to the T-rail, and secure the
screw on the adjustable buckle to fasten the mounting bracket and T-rail. Remove two
ceiling tiles around the T-rail, use screws to fix the adjustable buckle to the mounting

buckle to fasten the mounting bracket and T-rail.
2. Hang the AP on the mounting holes by aligning the mounting screws at the rear of the AP
with the mounting screws on the bracket and push the AP horizontally to secure the AP.
1. Before fixing the adjustable buckle with a screw, you need to adjust the buckle to a
proper position based on the T-rail width.
2. Ensure that the AP is correctly installed on the mounting bracket and there must be 200
mm space above and around the AP for maintenance.
2.5 Installing the Security Lock
There is a security slot on the AP. You can lock the AP to an immovable object to prevent the
AP against theft. The detailed procedures are as follows:
1. Fasten the cable of the security lock to an immovable object around.
2. Insert the security lock into the security slot and lock it.

Figure 2-3 Interfaces of the AP4030DN
Table 2-2 Cable Connection
No. Cable Description
1 Ethernet cable The network cables used are category-5 enhanced or higher
twisted pairs.
Ensure that the AP is connected to the Ethernet using the
Ethernet cable that works properly. If the Ethernet cable is
not working properly, for example, RJ45 connectors are
short- circuited, the AP may fail to be powered on or fail to
work. Before connecting an Ethernet cable to the AP, use
the cable test tool to check whether the cable is qualified. If
the cable is unqualified, replace it.
2 DC power adapter The AP supports the PoE power supply and DC power
supply.
To connect the AP to a DC power source, use the power
adapter delivered with the AP; otherwise, the AP maybe
damaged.

Pay attention to the following points when installing network cables
Before connecting an Ethernet cable to the AP, use the cable test tool to check whether
the cable is qualified. If the cable is unqualified, replace it.
Do not connect the service network cable to the console port. Otherwise, the AP may be
damaged when the PoE power supply is used.
Before removing network cables or power cables, remove the AP from the mounting
bracket first to prevent damage to the network cables or power cables.
The cable cannot exceed 100 meters.
2.7 Powering on the AP
You can check the power-on status by observing indicators on the AP. For details, see 1.2

3.2 Logging In to the AP Using STelnet
3.3 Logging In to the AP Using a Web Client
3.1 Logging In to the AP Through the Console Port
This section describes how to log in to the AP through the console port. After logging in to the
AP, you can configure the AP using commands.
Step 1 Connect a PC to the AP using a console cable. Connect the RJ45 connector to the console port
of the AP and the DB9 connector to the serial port of a PC.
Step 2 Run the terminal emulation program on the PC. For example, to open the HyperTerminal of
Windows XP on the PC, choose Start > Programs > Accessories >Communications >
HyperTerminal. Enter a connection name and click OK.
Step 3 Select the serial port used on the PC and click OK.
Step 4 Set communication parameters, click Restore Defaults, and then click OK.
Step 5 Press Enter until the command line prompt of the user view, such as <Enterprise AP>, is
displayed. Then, you enter the user configuration interface. (The following information is
only for reference.)
The default user name and password are respectively admin and admin@huawei.com.
The password entered in interactive mode is not displayed on the screen.

You can run commands to configure the AP. Enter a question mark (?) whenever you need
help.
3.2 Logging In to the AP Using STelnet
This section describes how to log in to the AP using STelnet. After logging in to the AP, you
can configure the AP using commands.
Before logging in to the device through STelnet, complete the following tasks:
Starting the device properly
Preparing network cables used to connect device interfaces.
Ensuring that the IP address 169.254.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0 have been configured on
VLANIF 1 of the device before the delivery and GE0/0/0 has been added to VLAN 1 by default.
Configuring the PC's IP address and subnet mask. The IP address must be on the network
segment 169.254.0.0/16 but cannot be 169.254.1.1. 169.254.1.100 is recommended. The
subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
Before the device is delivered, the STelnet service has been configured on the device. The STelnet
interface number is 22, and the default user name and password are respectively admin and
admin@huawei.com.
Use the SSH client software to log in to the device through STelnet from a terminal. The
third-party software PuTTY is used as an example here.
Step 1 After the device is powered on, connect the PC's network interface to GE0/0/0 of the device
using network cables
Ping 169.254.1.1 from the PC to check whether the device can be pinged successfully. If the ping
operation fails, check whether the PC's IP address is correct or replace the network cable.
Step 2 Use the PuTTY software to log in to the device, enter the device IP address, and select the
SSH protocol type.

3.3 Logging In to the AP Using a Web Client
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring users to log in to the AP using HTTP, complete the following task:
Configure reachable routes between the terminal and the AP.
The web management system is enabled on the AP before delivery. The default IP address of the web
management system is 169.254.1.1 and the mask is 255.255.0.0. The web management system
provides a default user account, with the user name admin and password admin@huawei.com. You
are advised to change the user name and password on your first login. Assign your PC an IP address
on the same network segment as the default IP address of the web management system, and connect
the PC to the GE interface. Start the web browser on the PC and visit http://169.254.1.1 to log in to
the web management system.
You can only log in to the FAT AP using the web platform.
Procedure
Step 1 Open a web browser on a PC, and enter the management address in the format of
http://169.254.1.1 in the address bar. Ensure that the PC and AC can communicate with each
other. Then press Enter. Set the language, user name, and password. The HTTPS login
URL is displayed in the address box indicating that the system has gone to the HTTPS login
page.
You can also enter https://IP address in the address box to log in to the AP using HTTPS. HTTPS
ensures security of login information during login and security of data exchanged during subsequent
operations.
Step 2 Click Login or press Enter. The web system home page is displayed. You can manage and
maintain the equipment. For details, see the Huawei Wireless Access Points Web-based
Configuration.
