x 0.12 x 0.16 in.) ,and a standard Kensington lock is

recommended.

Safety Information

This equipment must be installed in compliance with local and national

building codes, regulatory restrictions, and FCC rules. For the safety of

people and equipment, only professional network personnel should

install the AP.

WARNING!

Warnings contain directions that you must follow for your personal safety.

Follow all directions carefully.

You must read the followin

safety information carefully before you install

or remove the unit.

WARNING!

Exceptional care must be taken during installation and removal of the unit.

WARNING!

This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions

according to IEC60950-1. The conditions are only maintained if the

equipment to which it is connected also operates under SELV conditions.

WARNING!

There are no user-replaceable fuses or user-serviceable parts inside the

unit. If you have a physical problem with the unit that cannot be solved

with problem solving actions in this guide, contact your supplier.

WARNING!

RJ-45 ports. These are RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot be used as

standard traditional telephone sockets, or to connect the unit to a

traditional PBX or public telephone network. Only connect RJ-45 data

connectors, network telephony systems, or network telephones to these

sockets.

Either shielded or unshielded data cables with shielded or unshielded

jacks can be connected to these data sockets.

WARNING!

To comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, a minimum

body-to-antenna distance of 20 cm must be maintained when the AP is

operational..

Approved Channels

Use of this product is only authorized for the channels approved by each

country. For proper installation, select your country from the

country-selection list.

To conform to FCC and other country restrictions, your product may be

Mounting the AP

Unpacking the AP

Make sure that you have the following items, which are included with the

AP:

• One H3C WA2620-AGN Access Point

• Wall-mounting hardware:

○ One combined wall-mounting bracket and table-top stand

○ Four screws

○ Four wall anchors

• Suspended ceiling bracket:

○ One ceiling bracket

○ One slider

○ Two screws

• Eight adhesive rubber feet

• One copy of this Quick Start Guide

• One H3C Warranty Flyer

• One console cable

Preparing for Installation

H3C recommends that you connect and check the Ethernet cable and

LEDs before you install the AP in a hard-to-reach location. Also, observe

these items before you mount or connect the AP:

Feature Description

Switch Port

To connect your wireless network to your wired network, you

need a switch that is connected to the AP.

Cabling

Make sure that a standard Ethernet cable with straight-through

wiring is installed at the site before you install the AP.

Make sure that the cable is highly flexible and that the RJ-45

connector has no extra covering that could prevent the cable

from being routed through the mounting bracket.

Power

Requirement

Power is supplied using an 802.3af Power Over Ethernet

(PoE) compliant device such as a PoE switch or a PoE injector.

For maximum performance, H3C recommends that you use a

Gigabit link.

MAC Address

Record the AP MAC address in a safe place before the AP is

installed in a hard-to-reach location.

The MAC address is printed on the back of the AP.

Mounting the AP

The AP can be mounted on the following types of surfaces:

• Wall or electrical box (NEMA enclosure)

• Table top

• Ceiling Mounting

Wall or Electrical Box Mounting

To install your AP on a wall or electrical box, use the mounting bracket

that comes with the device. Follow these steps:

1. Following these guidelines, screw the mounting bracket to a wall or

electrical box (NEMA enclosure):

•

The mounting bracket tabs should be pointing upward.

• If mounting to drywall, use the 4 screws and 4 wall anchors.

• If mounting to an EU electrical box (60.3mm), use 2 threaded screws and

insert into the holes marked “A” in the diagram shown below.

• If mounting to a US electrical box (83.3mm), use 2 threaded screws and

insert into the holes marked “B” in the diagram shown below.

2. Connect the Ethernet cable (for power and network connection) to the

LAN port on the back of the AP.

3. To mount the AP onto the mounting bracket, insert the mounting-bracket

tabs into the slots on the back of the AP.

CAUTION:

If you are mounting the AP on a wall, you cannot use the slots on the

bottom narrow ed

e of the device. Instead, you must use the slots on back

of the AP.

Tabletop Mounting

To install the AP on a flat surface such as a table or desktop, follow these

steps:

Insert the tabs on the table stand into the slots on the side of the AP, as

shown in the illustration. Align the cable routing cut out toward the upper

part of the stand.

2. To lock the stand to the AP, slide the stand back and the AP forward, as

shown here:

3. Place the AP and table stand on the table.

4. Connect the Ethernet cable for power and network connection to the

LAN port on the back of the AP.

Ceiling Mounting

To install your AP on the Ceiling, use the ceiling bracket kit that comes

with the device. Follow these steps:

1. Attach the metal slider to the back of the AP using the two small screws.

The slider should still be able to slide after the screws are tightened,

Make sure that the slide is left in the same position as shown below so

that the slots are accessible.

2. Clip the metal ceiling bracket to a suitably located ceiling tile separator.

3. Slide the moveable section into place and tighten the screw (found

underneath) to secure it.

Position the AP so that the two tabs from the ceiling bracket can be

inserted in the slots in the AP.

5. Slide the slider across to lock the AP to the bracket.

Connecting Power

This section describes how to power the AP in the following ways:

• By Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplied over the LAN by an 802.3af PoE

compliant device such as a switch.

• By PoE supplied by a PoE injector or midspan (not included with the AP).

NOTE:

The PoE injector needs to be separately purchased.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the LAN

To power the AP using PoE provided by a switch or other 802.3af

compliant device, plug the network cable from the device into the AP’s

Ethernet port.

Power over Ethernet from a PoE Injector

To power the AP using a PoE injector or midspan (not included), follow

these steps:
