2 Preparing for Installation This chapter describes the preparations for WA2600 installation, including the preparation of installation tools, environment examination, unpacking and inspection. Unpacking and Inspection Before unpacking the package, make sure that the package is intact, without any serious damage or signs of water soaking. When unpacking the package, avoid excessive force or collision. Otherwise, the articles inside the package may get damaged.
z The accessories may vary with the models. For the exact contents of the package, refer to the packing list. z If the contents do not check with the packing list, timely contact your local dealer. z If the package is found to be rusted or water soaked, stop unpacking and contact your local dealer immediately. z Three omni antennas are shipped with the WA2610E-AGN, while six omni antennas are shipped with the WA2620E-AGN.
Table 2-2 is for reference only. If you install the AP on a tabletop, none of the above tools is required. Examining the Installation Site Before installation, examine the installation site to make sure that the AP will work in a good environment. You can examine the installation site from the following two aspects.
Specification Range Storage temperature –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F) Relative humidity (noncondensing) 10% to 95% Power Supply Check that the power supply of the installation site is stable. The centralized AC power system consisting of the AC mains, UPS, and user-supplied diesel generator should be: z Easy to connect z Safe to operate z Flexible to dispatch z Convenient to maintain The low-voltage power supply should adopt the single-phase three-wire system.
z If the voltage is unstable, a voltage regulator or stabilizer is required. z An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) is required for uninterrupted communication. Grounding and Lightning Protection Table 2-5 Grounding and lightning protection requirements Item Requirements z Grounding resistance z The grounding resistance is typically required to be less than 5 ohms, and less than 10 ohms in an area that has less than 20 thunderstorm days a year.
Item Requirements z z Protection grounding z Grounding lead The grounding lead is a metal conductor connecting the grounding strip to the grounding grid. The PGND cable of the device should be attached to the grounding strip. The grounding lead should not be longer than 30 m (98.43 ft). A zinc-plated flat steel with a cross-section area of 40 × 4 mm (1.57 × 0.16 in) or 50 × 5 mm (1.97 × 0.20 in) is recommended.
Item Lightning rod Requirements In a plain area, the protection angel of the lightning rod should be less than 45 degrees. In a mountainous area or lightning intensified area, the protection angle should be less than 30 degrees. The lightning protection ground (for example, the ground of the lightning rod) and the protection ground of the equipment room should be connected to the same earthing conductor. z Feeder z The antenna support is ready and in accordance with the design requirement.
3 Installing the AP The WA2600 series WLAN APs can be directly fixed onto a wall by using the wall-mounting brackets. The following introduces the wall-mounting procedure of the WA2600 series in detail. Installation Flowchart Figure 3-1 shows the installation flowchart of the WA2600 series.
z Keep the AP far away from electronic devices (such as microwave ovens) that may generate RF noise. z Install the AP in a place where it will not hinder people’s daily work and life. Make sure the ceiling is strong enough and the structure is suitable in case of ceiling mounting. Reinforce the ceiling if needed. A padlock is required for ceiling mounting to prevent any falloff in case of shocks. A Blossom 071 padlock or similar padlock is recommended.

Figure 3-3 Install the wall-mounting bracket Install the wall-mounting bracket with the arrow on the bracket pointing upwards.
Installing the AP on the Wall-Mounting Bracket The installation procedure is the same for both the WA2610E-AGN and WA2620E-AGN. The WA2610E-AGN is taken as an example in this manual. 1) Align the AP with the hooks on the wall-mounting bracket and hang the AP on the bracket. See (1) in Figure 3-4. 2) Press the AP downward to fix it. See (2) in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4 Fix the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket (1) (2) Expansion screw Hook Locking the AP onto the Wall-Mounting Bracket (Optional) The WA2600 series APs have a security slot on the top, which can be used to lock the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket to prevent theft. Follow these steps to lock the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket: 1) Insert the locking plate into the security slot on the top of the AP. See (1) in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5 Lock the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket Locking plate (2) Latch Locking hole (1) (3) Security slot Wall-mounting bracket The lock is user supplied.
Connecting the Power Supply Local Power Supply Connect the AP to the power source through the power adapter, as shown in Figure 3-6. Figure 3-6 Local power supply connection Power over Ethernet If the uplink device of the AP is a PoE-capable switch or the like, use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet interface of the AP to the PoE-capable device.
z In the PoE mode, you do not need to connect the power interface to a power source. You only need to connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface of the AP and the other end to an Ethernet interface of the PoE-capable device (for example, an Ethernet switch). z Identify the silkscreen on the device to avoid taking the console interface for the Ethernet interface, or vice versa. z The WA2620E-AGN supports only non-standard PoE power supply.
