The clip holder prevents the AP from dropping.2. Remove the ceiling, determine locations of mounting holes based on the distance between two installation holes, use the hammer drill to drill holes, and fix the wall-mounting bracket to the ceiling.3. Align the cucurbit holes at the rear side of the AP with the four hooks on the bracket. Ensure that the AP is installed in the correct direction; otherwise, the clip holder cannot fix the AP.Ensure that the AP is correctly installed on the wall-mounting bracket and there must be 20 cm space above and around the AP for maintenance.Lock holeTo prevent unauthorized personnel from moving the AP, lock the AP. The preceding figure shows the security lock. The carrier should purchase the security lock and determine the position for installing the security lock.NOTE35mmAdjustable buckleAdjustable buckleCeiling Wall-mounting bracketAPSecurity lockCeilingM4*30 screwCAUTION6NOTEThe 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, customers need to purchase longer screws.
Connecting CablesRequirements 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.CAUTIONX1 Pin12345678X2 Pin12345678Wire ColorWhite and orangeOrangeWhite and greenBlueWhite and blueGreenWhite and brownBrown7CAUTIONWhen using WA635SN-GN Aps to replace WA633SNs, you need to prepare adapters, such as SMA-to-N type adapters (figure a and b).

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.NOTE1. The antennas used must comply with local laws.2. In North America or other regions that Require FCC certification, use W5030H antennas from Pulse.

Logging In to the Router1. 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.Procedure Step 1 Connect a PC to the AP with a console cable. Connect the RJ45 connector to the console port of the AP and connect the DB9 connector to the serial port of the PC. Figure 1-1 shows the location of the AP's console port. Figure 1-1 Location of the AP's console port 9 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 the name of the new connection in the Name text box and click OK, as shown in Figure 1-2. Figure 1-2 Setting up a connection No Port1Console portAfter an AP is powered on, you can log in to the AP using the following methods.1. Logging In to the AP Through the Console PortThis 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.2. Logging In to the AP Using TelnetThis section describes how to log in to the AP using Telnet. After logging in to the AP, you can configure the AP using commands.1
Logging In to the RouterStep 4 Click Restore Defaults, select 9600 bit/s from the Bits per second drop-down list box, and click OK, as shown in Figure 1-4. Figure 1-4 Setting communication parameters Step 5 Press Enter on the subsequent dialog boxes until the command line prompt of the user view, such as <Enterprise AP>, is displayed. You can run commands to configure the AP. Enter a question mark (?) whenever you need help. ----End 10 Step 3 Select the serial port used on the PC and click OK, as shown in Figure 1-3.

Logging In to the Router112. 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 portStep 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.Step 5 Enter the default user name and password admin. If the user view is displayed, you have logged in Successfully. When you log in for the first time, the following page is displayed: Username: admin Password: Enterprise AP: ----EndNo Port1ETH/PoE1NOTERun 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 ConfigurationWLAN 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 ModeThis section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.2. Configuring VLANs on Wired Interfaces of an APThis 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.NOTEBy default, AP's go online in DHCP mode. ● Configuring the Mode for an AP to Go Online ● Configuring the AP to go online in DHCP mode 1. Use Telnet to log in to the AP from a PC. login：admin Password： //The default password is admin. ~ # 2.
