In addition, record the MAC address of the access point for future use. 2.3.3 Attaching the Antennas Screw the antennas on to the antenna connectors on the access point and hand-tighten them. After network startup, you may need to adjust the antennas to fine-tune coverage in your area. For best results, adjust the antennas so that they are perpendicular with the floor or ceiling. Caution: Do not handle the antenna tips, especially after they are connected to the access point. This could lead to electrostatic discharge (ESD), which could damage the equipment. 2.3.4 Mounting the Access Point The access point can be mounted on walls, ceilings or tabletops.
Quick Start H3C WA2110-AG Wireless LAN Access Point Chapter 2 Installation 2-6 I. Wall, Ceiling Mounting To mount the access point to a wall, follow the given steps below: 1) Remove the access point from the mounting bracket. 2) Route the power cable (if you use an external power supply) and Ethernet cable on the back of the mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 2-3. Caution: For easy installation and removal of the access point from the mounting bracket, make sure that there is sufficient flexibility with the cable and that the cable is long enough. If not enough cable is routed through the back of the mounting bracket, or if the cable is inflexible, it can be difficult to install or remove the access point from the mounting bracket.

Select a location that is clear of obstructions and provides good reception. II. Tabletop Mounting To install the access point on a flat surface such as a table or desktop, follow the given steps below: 1) Remove the access point from the mounting bracket. 2) Place the access point on the table. 3) Connect the Ethernet cable (and power cable, if applicable) to the port(s) on the front of the access point.
Quick Start H3C WA2110-AG Wireless LAN Access Point Chapter 2 Installation 2-9 2.4 Connecting the Access Point to a Wireless Control Manager You can connect the access point directly to a wireless control manager or indirectly to a wireless control manager through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case, use Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling for each access point connection. Warning: Do not connect or disconnect Ethernet cables or otherwise work with the access point during periods of lightning activity. You are recommended to install and configure the wireless control manager before installing the access point. If the wireless control manager is already installed and configured for the access point, you can immediately verify whether the device works normally after you plug the cable into the access point. For instructions on configuring the wireless control manager, refer to H3C Wireless Control Manager Operation Manual and H3C Wireless Control Manager Command Manual.
