1 Indoor AP Overview
Status
Description
Steady on
The AP is transmitting or receiving data
normally, and the signal strength is high.
Blinking green once
every 0.25 seconds (4
Hz)
The AP is transmitting or receiving data
normally, and the signal strength is medium.
Blinking once every
2s (0.5 Hz)
The AP is transmitting or receiving data
normally, and the signal strength is low.
NOTE
When the WDS/mesh function is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of its Wireless LED indicates
the receive signal strength on the WDS/mesh connection by default. After you connect an AP to a WDS/
mesh network, you can run the wifi-light { signal-strength | traffic } command on the AC to make the
Wireless LED blinking frequency indicate receive signal strength or service traffic rate.
wifi-light signal-strength:
l If the mesh function is enabled on the AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects
the weakest signal strength of all neighboring APs.
l If WDS is enabled on an AP, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength
of signals received from a WDS AP.
l If the AP works in leaf mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the strength
of signals received from a middle AP.
l If the AP works in middle mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the
strength of signals received from a root AP.
l If the AP works in root mode, the blinking frequency of the Wireless LED reflects the weakest
signal strength of middle APs.
wifi-light traffic: allows the Wireless LED to reflect the service traffic volume on the radio.
The Fat AP does not support WDS/Mesh functions; therefore, the Wireless indicator of the Fat AP does
not indicate the signal strength.
The AP6310SN-GN does not support WDS/mesh functions; therefore, the Wireless indicator of the
AP6310SN-GN does not indicate the signal strength.

4 Hardware Failures
4.1 An device Fails to Be Powered On
Fault Description
The SYS indicators of an device is off.
Possible Causes
The power switch on the device is turned off.
The power cable is not securely connected to the device.
The power supply unit has failed.
– If the device connects to an external power source, its power adapter may fail.
– If the device has a built-in power supply, the device itself may be faulty.
Troubleshooting Procedure
1.
Check that the power switch is on.
2.
Check that the power cable is securely connected to the device.
3.
Check whether the power supply is normal.
l If the device uses a power adapter, replace the power adapter with a normal one. If the
device is powered on, the original power adapter is faulty. Contact Huawei technical
support or Huawei agent through Hotline&Email and ask them to replace the power
adapter.
4.
If the device still cannot be powered on, the device itself is faulty. Contact Huawei technical
support or Huawei agent through Hotline&Email and ask them to replace the device.
4.2 An Optical Interface Cannot Turn Up
Fault Description
After an optical interface is connected to a remote device through an optical fiber, its LINK
indicator is off.
NOTE
GE0/0/0 on the AP6610DN-AGN is a combo interface.
Possible Causes
The optical fiber is faulty.
The optical module on the optical interface cannot meet the requirements.

l The optical module has passed Huawei certification.
l The transmission speed of the optical module is the same as the interface speed.
l The wavelength of the optical module is the same as that of the remote optical module.
l The transmission distance of the optical module is suitable for the actual distance
between the two devices.
NOTE
l The transmission distance of an optical module is 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, 40 km, or 80 km.
The optical modules with a longer transmission distance have a higher transmit power. If an
optical module with a long transmission distance is used for short-distance transmission, the
optical interface cannot turn Up because the transmit power is too high. The high transmit
power may even burn the receiver of the remote optical module. To reduce the transmit power
in this situation, use an optical attenuator between the optical module and optical fiber.
l Optical modules with different speeds are available, for example, 155 Mbit/s, 622 Mbit/s,
and 1.25 Gbit/s. It is recommended that you use an optical module with the same speed as
the optical interface to ensure efficient optical transmission.

5.1 On-site Cable Assembly and Installation
5.1.1 Cable Assembly Precautions
Checking the Appearance of Cables
If the cable jacket or insulation is visibly dirty, clean it before assembly.
If the jacket or insulation of a cable has visible damage, irreparable scuffing, or other
defects, do not use the cable.
If the shield layer of a cable is damaged, do not use the cable.
If the cable jacket or insulation cracks after the cable is bent or twisted, discard this cable
and check whether other cables have the same problem. If other cables have the same
problem, replace these cables.
Checking the Appearance of Connectors
Do not use connectors with visible defects, damage, rust or scuffing.
Do not use connectors if their pins or shells are damaged.
Do not use connectors that have dirt on their pins or in their jacks or if there are conductors
between pins or between pins and the shell.
Precautions for Assembly
Use dedicated tools or tools delivered by Huawei and follow the methods given here during
assembly.
Hold terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables when installing or removing cable
components.
Take the following precautions when cutting or stripping cables:
– Make cables slightly longer than necessary.
– Coil cables longer than 2 m (6.56 ft) after cutting. Bind and fasten the coils using
bundling ropes. The inner diameters of the coils should be larger than 20 times the outer
diameters of the cables.
– When stripping the jackets of cables, avoid damaging the shield layers (braid or
aluminum foil), insulation, core conductors, and other jackets that do not need to be
stripped.
– Clean the exposed jackets. Cut all cables neatly.
– Do not touch the core conductors of cables with your hands. Terminate exposed
conductors in a timely way after stripping off insulation so that the surface of the
conductors does not become oxidized.
Take the following precautions when crimping and connecting cables or connectors:
– The terminals and conductors should be connected tightly after they are crimped. They
should not be moved or turned.
– Cut all the exposed copper wires.

Huawei Indoor Access Points
Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
5 Appendix
The contact strips must be parallel to each other, with an offset less than ± 5°. The top
margin of a strip must be parallel to the axis of the connector, with an offset less than ±
10°.
To ensure conduction, the surface of the contact strips must be clean.
The contact strips must be in good contact with the RJ45 socket. The plastic separators
must remain intact and be aligned.
The contact strip blade must extend beyond the ends of the wires. The ends of the wires
must be in contact with the edge of the RJ45. The distance between them must be less than
0.5 mm (0.02 in.).
Procedure
Step 1 Hold the crimped connector, with the front side facing you, and check whether the contact strips
are of the same height. The height should be 6.02 ± 0.13 mm (0.237 ± 0.005). If a measuring
tool is not available, you can compare the connector with a standard connector. Figure 5-32
shows an unqualified piece, and Figure 5-33 shows a qualified piece.

The procedure for testing a crossover cable is the same as that for testing a straight-through cable
except for the sequence in which the indicators turn on. You need to refer to the wire connections
of a crossover cable.
The Ethernet cable is qualified if the indicators turn on in the following sequence:
At the master (left) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 1-8-G. At the
slave (right) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 3-6-1-4-5-2-7-8-G.
Otherwise, the Ethernet cable is unqualified.

Precautions for Installing Cable Accessories
Tools
NOTE
The illustrations in this document may differ from actual situations. For example, in this document, the
adapters of cable connectors have separate interfaces. In the actual situation, the adapters may have
interfaces fixed on equipment.
Use dedicated tools provided or specified by Huawei and follow the installation procedure
described here.
Bending Radius
Unless otherwise specified, bending radiuses (R) of cables or fibers must meet the requirements
listed in Table 5-9.

NOTE
The letter d indicates the diameter of a cable or fiber.
Precautions for Installation
Hold the terminals of cables instead of pulling the cables when installing or removing the
cable components.
Do not insert a connector forcibly when the connector is blocked. Pull out the connector
by using a dedicated tool. Install the connector again after you check that the pins are
inserted properly.
Before tightening screws on cable connectors, ensure that the connectors are properly
connected with their adapters. Use flathead or Phillips head screwdrivers and do not use
too much force. To avoid damaging screws or adapters, do not tighten the screws forcibly.
When removing densely aligned cables or fiber connectors, use dedicated pliers such as
cable-pulling pliers and fiber-pulling pliers.
Do not twist, bend, stretch, or extrude fibers during installation.
Cover the fiber connectors that are not in use by using dustproof caps. Remove the dustproof
caps before using the fiber connectors.
Requirements for Cable Routing
To protect cables, remove the burrs in the cable through-holes or install protective rings in
the holes.
To ease the connection and to avoid stress, keep slack at cable joints. After connecting
multiple cables to a connector that has multiple interfaces, keep the cables slack to avoid
stress generation.
Bind or clean cables gently because cable distortion affects signal quality.
Keep cables away from moveable components such as doors.
Sharp objects must not be touched in cable wiring to ensure that cables are not damaged.
To protect power cables, power cables of the active and standby power modules are laid
separately.

regulations.
Recommendations for AC Power Supply
The following shows recommendations for the AC power supply.
If the voltage of the power mains that supply power directly to devices exceeds the rated
voltage by -10% to 5%, or exceeds the voltage range that devices can support, a voltage
regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
If the mains do not supply power for the device directly, or if the mains voltage exceeds
the rated voltage by -15% to 10% or exceeds the input voltage range of the DC power
supply, a voltage regulating device or voltage stabilizing device is required.
An UPS or inverter power supply system is required to provide uninterrupted AC power
to support the telecommunication load.
If abnormalities occur on the mains, telecommunication servers should be equipped with
a self-supplied electric generator to support the key telecommunication load. The capacity
should be not less than 150% to 200% of the total uninterruptable power supply.
Storage batteries are usually installed in a parallel connection of two groups. UPS storage
batteries are generally installed in one group. The redundancy required for the UPS can
rely on concatenation or parallel connection. When an inverter or a UPS is used, the active
inverter is determined by the maximum power and a backup inverter is required.

Improving the reliability of the AC power supply system reduces the necessary capacity of
storage batteries. For small offices, increase the capacity of storage batteries if it is difficult
to enhance the reliability of the AC power supply system.
The total capacity of the high-frequency switching rectifier must satisfy the power of the
communication loading and battery charging. If there are 10 or fewer active rectifier
modules, configure one backup module. If there are more than 10 active modules, configure
one backup module for every 10 active modules.
Install storage batteries in two or more groups. The capacity is determined by the duration
for which the storage batteries must supply power. For most offices, the batteries should
be able to supply power for at least one hour.

Requirements for Feeding the Printer
The label paper consists of two layers. No matter what model of printer you use, feed in the
labels one page at a time. To avoid jamming the labels, never use the auto-feed mode.
Requirements for the Printed Label
Make sure that the printed labels satisfy the following requirements:
All the printouts must be on the label, and nothing should be printed on the backing layer
of the label page.
Contents in the cells should be aligned in the center. In a single-line printout, the dividing
lines and the mark "To:" should not be covered by the printed characters.
When the cells are merged and the printouts are made in multiple lines, avoid covering the
mark "TO:" when printing the texts. Use the space bar to move the text to the next line.
Writing Labels
Writing Tools
To make sure the printouts are clear and legible, use the black markers instead of ball-point pens
to write the labels.
In special cases, black ball-pens are allowed, although not recommended. Compared with ballpoint pens, water-proof markers are better. When writing with a ball-point pen, do not leave the
oil on the label, which may contaminate the label and blur the words.
NOTE
The delivered marker has two nibs. Make sure to use the smaller nib to write the labels.
Font
For the sake of easy recognition and good appearance, the font in handwriting should be as close
to a standard typeface (such as Times New Roman) as possible. Table 5-21 shows the standard
typeface.

Therefore, the information in Area 1 at one end is the same as the information in Area 2 at the
other end of the cable. In other words, the local information at one end is called the opposite
information at the other end.
Precautions for Using Engineering Labels
When using labels, pay attention to the following points:
When printing, writing, or attaching labels, keep the labels clean.
Since the label paper is made of moistureproof and waterproof material, ink-jet printers
and ink pens are forbidden for printing and writing labels.
Labels should be attached tidily. New-type labels are L-shaped. If they are pasted at
incorrect locations or in wrong directions, the appearance of the device is affected.
Power cable ties should be attached in the same positions on power cables, with
identification plates on the same side.
The positions of "up", "down", "left" or "right" are all based on the viewpoint of the
engineering person who works on the label.
5.4.2 Engineering Labels for Optical Fibers
These labels are affixed to the optical fibers that connect the optical interfaces on the boards in
a chassis, or on the device boxes. There are two types of labels for optical cables:
One is for the fiber that connects the optical interfaces on two devices.
The other is for the fiber that connects the device and the ODF.

PGND cables.
The labels for DC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties.
For details of the labels, see Table 5-26.
Table 5-26 Contents of the label
Content
Meaning
MN(BC)B--48Vn
MN(BC): BC is written right under MN.
MN(BC)-BBGND
MN(BC)-BPGND
B: chassis number, numbered in the bottom-top order with two digits,
for example, 01.
N: power socket number, numbered as 1 to 3 in the bottom-top and leftto-right orders.
On the loaded cabinet side, only MN is used to identify the cabinet.
On the power cabinet side, MN identifies the row and column number
of the power distribution equipment like a control cabinet and
distribution box, and BC identifies the row and column number of the
-48 V connector. If there is no row number or column number, or the
connector can be identified without them, BC can be omitted. It is
unnecessary for BGND and PGND to identify the row and column
number.
The label only carries location information about the destination direction of the power cable
while information of the local end is not necessary. That is, the label only carries location
information about the opposite equipment, the control cabinet, or the distribution box. Table
5-26 lists the information on two -48 V power supplies on the label. The information on other
DC voltages, such as 24 V and 60 V should be given in similar methods.
Make sure that labels are affixed in the correction direction. That is, after the cable ties are
bundled onto the cable, the identification plates with the labels should face up, and the text on
the labels in the same cabinet should be in the same direction. For details, see Figure 5-93.

The meaning of the label in Figure 5-93 is as follows:
On the loaded cabinet side, the label "A01/B08--48V2" on the cable indicates that the cable
is -48 V DC supply, which is from the eighth connector on row B of -48 V bus bar in the
cabinet on row A, and column 1 in the equipment room.
On the distribution box side, the label "B03--48V2" indicates that the cable is -48 V DC
supply, connected to DC power socket 2 on row B, column 03 in the equipment room.
NOTE
In the power distribution box or the first power cabinet of a row in a transmission equipment room, every
terminal block on the -48 V connector bar has a numeric identification. For example, in the above label of
"A01/B08--48V2", "08" (or sometimes "8") is the numeric identification of the terminal block.
PGND and BGND are two copper bars, on which the terminal blocks are short-circuited,
therefore which terminal is connected makes no difference. It is only necessary to give the row
and column of the power distribution box, instead of giving the specific serial number of the
terminal block on the copper bar. For example, if the label on the loaded cabinet side is "A01BGND", it means that the power cable is a BGND that connects BGND copper bar in the power
distribution box on Row A, Column 01 in the machine room. Information on the labels for PGND
cables should be given in a similar way.
Engineering Labels for AC Power Cables
The labels are affixed to both ends of an AC power cable that provides AC power supply to
cabinets, including 110/220 V, PGND, and BGND cables. The 110/220 V AC cables and related
PGND and BGND cables are covered with an insulating sheath, so the labels need to contain
only the word "AC" and the cabinet numbers.
The labels for AC power cables are affixed to one side of the identification plates on cable ties.
For details, see Table 5-27.
Table 5-27 Label content
Content
Meaning
MN-(B)-ACn
MN: serial number of the cabinet or the socket where the power is led in
B: chassis number, numbered in the bottom-top order with two digits, for
example, 01.
n: power port number, numbered as 1 to 3 in bottom-top and left-to-right
order.
Serial number of the socket where the power is led in: the location of the
socket is marked according to the actual situation. If the sockets can be
identified by row numbers and column numbers, they can be numbered
following the same rule for the cabinets. If the sockets cannot be identified
by rows and columns, specify the detailed locations to avoid confusion
with other sockets.
The label only carries location information about the opposite equipment and the power socket;
information about the local end is not necessary.

5.5 Guide to Using Optical Modules
Common Faults of an Optical Module
1.
An optical module is not completely installed in position.
If the optical module is not completely installed in position and the latch boss is not secured,
the device cannot identify the optical module. After the optical module works for a long
time, it will be ejected under external stress.
2.
The optical receptacle on an optical module is contaminated.
If an optical module is not cleaned or protected properly, contaminants may accumulate on
the fiber pin in the optical module. As a result, the coupling efficiency is reduced, optical
signals are cut off, or even worse, the surface of the fiber pin is damaged permanently.
3.
An optical module is burnt.
If large-power optical signals (caused by the OTDR or self-loop test) are transmitted
through an optical module that is used for long-distance transmission but no optical
attenuator is used, the optical power will exceed the overload power of the APD pipe. Then
the optical module is burnt.
The preceding faults lead to temporary or long-term cut-off of optical signals; or even cause
permanent damages to the optical module, affecting communication services.
Measures to Prevent Loosened Optical Module
1.
Issue 08 (2014-04-10)
When installing an optical module, insert it into position. If you hear a click or feel a slight
shake, it indicates that the latch boss is secured.

If the latch boss is not secured, the gold finger of the optical module is not in good contact
with the connector on the board. In this case, the link may be connected but optical signals
will be cut off or the optical module will be loosened when the optical module is shook or
crashed.
2.
Figure 5-95 shows the release handle on an optical module when it is open and closed.
When inserting the optical module, make sure that the release handle is closed. At this time,
the latch boss locks the optical module. After the optical module is inserted, try pulling it
out to see if it is installed in position. If the optical module cannot be pulled out, it is secured.

Measures to Prevent Receptacle Contamination
1.
Cleaning tissues must be prepared on site. You need to clean the optical connector before
inserting it in the receptacle. This protects the receptacle against the contamination on the
surface of the optical connector.
Figure 5-96 Cleaning optical fibers with special cleaning tissues
NOTE
Place at least three cleaning tissues on the work bench. As shown in Figure 5-96, wipe the end of an
optical connector from left to right or from right to left on a cleaning tissue, and then move the
connector end to the unused part of the cleaning tissue to continue.
2.

Issue 08 (2014-04-10)
If a receptacle or an optical connector has not been used for a long time and is not covered
with a protective cap, you need to clean it before using it. Clean a receptacle with a cotton
swab, as shown in Figure 5-100. Clean an optical connector with cleaning tissues.

NOTICE
When cleaning a receptacle, insert the cotton swab and turn it slowly in the receptacle. Do
not use too much strength because the receptacle may be damaged.
5.
If optical signals are lost during the operation of a device, use the preceding method to
clean the receptacle or the optical connector. In this manner, the possibility of contamination
can be excluded.
Measures to Prevent an Optical Module from Being Burnt
1.
Before using an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) to test the connectivity or the
attenuation of optical signals, disconnect the optical fibers from the optical module.
Otherwise, the optical module will be burnt.
2.
When performing a self-loop test, use an optical attenuator. Do not loosen the optical
connector instead of the optical attenuator.
1.
The optical connector should be vertically inserted in the receptacle to avoid damages to
the receptacle.
2.
Fibers must be inserted into optical modules of the corresponding type. That is, multimode
fibers must be inserted into multimode optical modules, and single mode fibers must be
inserted into single mode optical modules. If a fiber is inserted into an optical module of a
different mode, faults will occur. For example, optical signals will be lost.
