Preparing for installation
Safety recommendations
WARNING!
Only qualified personnel can install and remove the AP and its accessories. You must read all
safety instructions before installation and operation.
To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read the following safety recommendations
before installing the AP. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous
condition.
• Take adequate safety measures to avoid body injury and AP damage.
• Place the AP in a dry and flat location and take anti-slip measures.
• Keep the AP clean and dust-free.
• Do not place the AP in a moist area and avoid liquid intrusion.
• Keep the AP and installation tools away from walkways.

Installation tools
When installing the AP, you might need the following tools. Prepare the installation tools as
required.

Pre-installation tasks
Before installing an AP, perform the following tasks:
• Connect the AP to a power source and the network. Examine the LEDs to verify that the AP is
operating correctly. For information about AP LEDs, see "Appendix B Ports and LEDs."
• Cabling has been completed where the AP is to be installed.
• Record the MAC address and serial number of the AP for future use.
Determining the installation position
Determine the installation position by observing the following principles:
• Few obstacles such as wall exist between the AP and clients.
• The AP is far away from electronic devices (such as microwave oven) that may generate radio
frequency (RF) noise.
4
• The AP does not hinder people’s daily work and life.
• The place is not water seeping, water soaking, and condensing.
• The AP is more than 5 m (16.40 ft) away from 3G and 4G stations and antennas.
Installing the AP
The AP can be installed only indoors. You can mount the AP on a table or a wall.
Mounting the AP on a table
Figure 4 Mounting the AP on a table
Mounting the AP on a wall
1. Mark the installation holes on the wall.

56 mm
(2.20 in)

2. Drill four holes with a diameter of 6 mm (0.24 in) and a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in) at the marked
locations.
Figure 6 Drilling holes in the wall
3. Insert a screw anchor into each hole and tap it with a rubber hammer until it is flush with the
wall surface.
Figure 7 Hammering the anchor
4. Fasten a screw into each screw anchor. Do not fasten the screws all the way in. Leave a space
of 2.5 to 4.5 mm (0.10 to 0.18 in) for AP mounting.
Figure 8 Fastening screws into the wall
30 mm
(1.18 in)

5. Align the installation holes at the AP rear with the screws on the wall and rest the AP on the
screws. Slide down the AP to secure it in place.
Figure 9 Mounting the AP on the wall
6. Use two screw anchor and screw sets to mount the power adapter bracket on the wall, and
then slide the power adapter down into the bracket.

7. Attach the power cord to the power cord retainer as shown by callouts 1, 2, and 3, and then
attach the power cord retainer to the AP.

Figure 12 Installation completed
Connecting the AP to the power source
The AP supports only a local power source.
You can use an AC/DC adapter to connect the power port on the AP to a local power source.

Check after power-on
After the AP is powered on, examine the LEDs to verify that the AP is operating correctly. For
information about AP LEDs, see "Appendix B Ports and LEDs."
Connecting the AP to an IoT module
An IoT port can connect only to IoT devices if power supply is enabled for the port.
Use a straight-through or crossover Category 5e Ethernet cable or above to connect the AP to a
T300M-X. As a best practice, use a straight-through cable. Use an 8P8C RJ-45 connector for the
cable.

Installing an antenna
Before installing an antenna, change the antenna type to external at the CLI.
Attach an antenna to the AP, fasten the connector on the antenna, and change the antenna
orientation to vertical.
