Determining the installation position
You can mount the AP to a wall or ceiling. Determine the installation position by observing the following
principles:
•
Few obstacles such as wall and ceiling exist between AP and clients.
•
The AP is far away from electronic devices (such as microwave oven) that may generate radio
frequency (RF) noise.
•
The AP does not hinder people’s daily work and life.
•
The place is not water seeping, water soaking, and condensing.
•
The ceiling for installing the AP must be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) in thickness, and can bear a load
of 5 kg (11.02 lb). H3C recommends that you reinforce the ceiling by using boards if it the ceiling
is not strong enough.
NOTE:
A lightning arrester (user supplied) must be installed on the AP for cabling outdoors.
Installing antennas
The WA4620E-ACN AP uses external antennas. You need to order antennas for it.
Before you install the WA4620E-ACN AP, install antennas for it, as shown in

Installing the AP
The AP can be installed on a wall or a ceiling indoors. The installation methods for the WA4620i-ACN
and WA4620E-ACN APs are the same. This section uses the WA4620E-ACN AP as an example.
