3 Installing the AP

Note:

1) Make sure that no metal particles (such as screws) fall into the Ethernet or

console interfaces during installation.

2) Before installing the WA2612-AGN to the wall-mounting bracket, connect the

network cable. The network cable can only be UTP cat-5.

3) Before connecting the console cable to the WA2612-AGN for debugging or

pressing the reset button, you need to remove the device from the

wall-mounting bracket.

Determining the Installation Site

Determine the installation site by observing the following principles:



Install the AP in an area away from obstacles that can cause interference.



Keep the AP far away from electronic devices (such as microwave ovens)

that may generate RF noise.



Ensure that the installation site will not cause any inconvenience or

nuisance.

Note:

1) Make sure the ceiling is strong enough and the structure is suitable in case of

ceiling mounting. Reinforce the ceiling if needed.

2) Us a Kensington lock if physical security is required to protect the AP from

being stolen.

Installing the AP

The WA2612-AGN support three installation methods:



Mounting the AP on a wall



Mounting the AP on a ceiling



Mounting the AP to a T-rail

Mounting the AP on a Wall

The following describes how to mount an WA2612-AGN on a wall:



Installing the wall-mounting bracket on the wall



Installing the AP on the wall-mounting bracket



Locking the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket (optional)

Installing the wall-mounting bracket on the wall

Step1 Place the wall-mounting bracket tightly against the wall where the AP is to be

mounted and mark the locations to drill holes for installing the screws. Then

use a drill with a bit of 6 mm (1/4 in) in diameter to drill holes in the wall. The

hole pattern must be identical with that in the wall-mounting bracket.

Highlight:

There are five mounting holes in total in the wall-mounting bracket of the

WA2612-AGN. Select the three round holes (with a diameter of 5 mm, or 0.20 in) for

the installation.

Figure1 Mounting hole pattern of, the WA2612-AGN wall-mounting bracket:

Step2 Insert the pointed end of wall anchors into the drilled holes and tap the flat end

of wall anchors with a rubber hammer until they are all flush with the wall

surface.

Step3 Align the holes in the wall-mounting bracket with the wall anchors and insert

screws through the mounting holes into the wall anchors, as shown in

Figure1.

(5) Screw

Step1 Adjust the position of the wall-mounting bracket and tighten the screws.

Note: Install the wall-mounting bracket with the arrow on the bracket pointing

upwards.

Installing the AP on the wall-mounting bracket

Step1 Align the AP with the key-hole clips on the wall-mounting bracket and hang

the AP on the bracket. See callout 1 in Figure3.

Step2 Press or rotate the AP to fix it. See callout 2 in Figure3. Fix the -shaped holes

on the AP’s rear panel to the key-hole clips on the wall-mounting bracket.

Figure3 Fix the WA2612-AGN onto the wall-mounting bracket

Note: Rotating the WA2612-AGN clockwise installs the device, while rotating it

counterclockwise uninstalls it.

Locking the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket (optional)

The WA2612-AGN has a security slot on the upper left side, which can be used to lock

the AP to a fixed object to prevent theft. Follow these steps to lock the AP to a fixed

object:

Step1 Fix the security cable to a nearby fixed object.

Step2 Insert the locking plate in the security slot to lock the AP.

Note: The lock is user supplied.

Mounting the AP on a ceiling

Note:

1) To use this installation method, make sure that the thickness of the ceiling is

less than 18 mm (0.71 in), and the ceiling can bear the weight of at least 5 kg

(11.02 lb.).

2) You are not recommended to use this method to mount the AP to a location

made of low-intensity materials such as a plaster ceiling. If this installation

method is required in such an environment, put a high-intensity plate

beneath the nut to secure the installation.

Select the two mounting holes of the wall-mounting bracket as shown in Figure5 to

mount the AP on the ceiling (in mm). Follow these steps to mount the AP on the

ceiling:

Step1 Drill two holes in the ceiling corresponding to the two mounting holes in the

wall-mounting bracket.

(1) Mounting holes for mounting on a ceiling

Step2 Insert the bolts through the mounting holes of the wall-mounting bracket and

the drilled holes on the ceiling, and then tighten the nuts on the other side of

the ceiling to secure the wall-mounting bracket as shown in Figure6.

Step3 Mount the WA2612-AGN to the wall-mounting bracket. For details, refer to

Installing the AP on the wall-mounting bracket.

Mounting the AP to a T-Rail

Note: The width of the T-rail must be in the range of 14 mm (0.55 in) to 24 mm (0.94).

Follow these steps to mount the AP to a T-rail:

Step1 Loosen the two M3 × 6 screws on each clip holder until the screw heads are

lower than the upper edge of the nuts (do not remove the screws or they may

get lost).

Step2 Adjust the T-rail clips to make the T-rail holder wider than the T-rail, and then

lock the T-rail with the T-rail holder according to the arrow

(9) Before installing to the T-rail, loosen the screw nuts until the screw heads

are lower than the upper edge of the nuts.

Step3 Tighten the M3 × 6 screws on the two clip holders until the screw heads touch

the T-rail, and then fix the screws.

Step4 Check that the T-rail holder is fixed to the T-rail.

Step5 Hook the mounting clip of the wall-mounting bracket to the mounting hook of

the T-rail holder, as shown Figure8.

Step6 Insert the two M4 × 8 screws through the two holes (with a diameter of 5 mm,

or 0.20 in) on the wall-mounting bracket according to the dashed line shown in

Figure8 and fix the screws to the T-rail holder.

Step7 Check that the wall-mounting bracket is fixed to the T-rail.

Step8 Install the WA2612-AGN to the wall-mounting bracket. For details, refer to

Installing the AP on the wall-mounting bracket.

Power Supply by PoE

Power is supplied to the WA2612-AGN through a PoE module or PoE switch. Connect

one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface of the WA2612-AGN and the

other end to an Ethernet interface of the PoE device.

Caution: Identify the mark on the device to avoid confusing the console interface for

the Ethernet interface, or vice versa.

4 Connecting to the AP

To connect to the AP, you must first determine the AP’s IP address in one of these

ways.
