Installing the AP
Select an appropriate installation position and leave more than 20 cm space above and around the device for cooling air
circulation.
AP6310SN-GN dimensions (unit: mm) without a backplane
support
The AP6310SN-GN can be installed using a sheetmetal wall-mounting bracket (for wall-mounting, T-rail mounting, and
ceiling-mounting installation).
To wall-mount the device using a wall-mounting bracket, perform the following operations:

1. Attach the wall-mounting bracket to the wall, adjust
the installation position, and use the marker, level, and
measuring tape to mark the drilling positions where
expansion bolts are installed.
3. Fix the wall-mounting bracket to the wall, and use the
Phillips screwdriver to fasten three self-tapping screws
into the expansion tubes.
2. Use #6 drill bit to drill 25-30 mm deep holes in the drilling
positions. Hammer the expansion tubes into the holes until the
expansion tubes are embedded into the wall.
4. Align the holes at the rear side of the AP with the hooks on
the bracket and hang the AP on the bracket. Hold the AP with
one hand and press the AP downwards with another hand to
secure the AP on the bracket. The AP can be installed with
antennas upwards or downwards, which depends on cable
routing.

● The AP6310SN-GN supports PoE power supply and DC power supply.
● Use the power adapter attached with the AP6310SN-GN; otherwise, the AP6310SN-GN
maybe damaged.
Connect AP interfaces with antennas to transmit signals, or connect the AP with a combiner
that uses the same DAS with the AP.
● The network cables used are category-5 twisted pairs.
● If the AP needs to connect to the Ethernet, ensure that the Ethernet cable is working
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.
CAUTION
When using AP6310SN-GN Aps to replace WA633SNs, you need to prepare
adapters, such as SMA-to-N type adapters (figure a and b). Alternatively, make new
feeder lines matching the connectors of AP6310SN-GN Aps (figure c).

NOTE
1. The antennas used must comply with
local laws.
2. In North America or other regions that
Require FCC certification, use W5030H
antennas from Pulse.
Connecting Cables
Requirements for making a network cable:
● Cut the cable of proper length based on the distance between the AP and the PSE device, peel the insulation on
both ends of the network cable, and crimp the wires to RJ45 connectors.
● Connect RT45 connectors to the network cable tester to test cable connectivity. The following shows the pin
assignment.
The service network cable cannot be connected to the console port. Otherwise, the AP may be damaged when using
PoE power supply.

2. Logging In to the AP Using Telnet
This section describes how to log in to the AP using Telnet. After logging in to the AP, you can configure the AP using
Commands.
Procedure
Step 1 Connect a PC to the uplink port of the AP with a network cable. Figure 1-5 shows the location of the AP's uplink
port.
Figure 1-1 Location of the AP's uplink port
Step 2 Configure a static IP address for the PC. The IP address must be on the network segment 192.168.0.1/24
(The IP address should not be same as the AP's default IP address 192.168.0.1.) and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
After the configuration is complete, run the ping 192.168.0.1 command on the PC to check whether the PC
can be pinged. If the ping operation succeeds, the connection is set up successfully. If the ping operation fails,
The connection fails to be set up. Check whether the network cable works properly.
Step 3 Access the command line window on the PC. For example, if the PC runs Windows XP, choose Start > Run
And enter cmd in the displayed dialog box.
Step 4 Run the telnet 192.168.0.1 command to log in to the AP.

NOTE
Run the exit command to exit from the Telnet window. When the system fails to exit from the Telnet window:
● If you logged in to the AP from an AC or a switch, press Ctrl+T to return to the AC or switch view. This operation does
not affect the AP operation.
● If you logged in to the AP from a PC, directly close the Telnet window. This operation does not affect the AP operation.
AP Local Configuration
WLAN services parameters of an AP are configured on the AC that is connected To the AP, and then delivered to the AP.
The following parameters are configured on the AP through Telnet or the console port.
1. Configuring the AP Access Mode
This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.
2. Configuring VLANs on Wired Interfaces of an AP
This section describes how to configure VLANs on wired interfaces of an AP.
1. Configuring the AP Access Mode
This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.
● AP Access Modes
After an AP starts, going online management module determines the mode in which the AP goes online. Users are
unaware of the AP access mode. In the AP startup phase, the AP obtains the its IP address, the gateway IP address,
and the AC IP address based on the access mode. After obtaining all the information, the AP sets up a Control And
Provisioning of Wireless Access Point (CAPWAP) link with the AC. The process is as follows:
1. The AP reads the configuration file and determines the mode to go online.
2. If the DHCP mode is used, the AP starts the DHCP process.
3. If the static mode is used, the AP starts the AC discovery process based on the static configuration, and
establishes a control tunnel with the discovered AC.
4. If the PPPoE mode is used, the AP initiates the PPPoE dial-up process. After obtaining the management IP
address and gateway address, the AP uses the statically configured AC IP address to discover the AC, and
establishes a control tunnel with the AC.
NOTE
By default, AP's go online in DHCP mode.
● Configuring the Mode for an AP to Go Online
