1 Obtaining the Configuration and

Installation Guide

Service Configuration
● Cloud Management Solution
APs connect to the Internet and register with Huawei Qiankun platform. The
administrator can remotely access Huawei Qiankun platform to perform
service configuration and O&M for multiple APs.
● Local Management Solution
Leader AP networking: A leader AP runs independently or manages a small
number of Fit APs. The administrator performs service configuration and
O&M on a single point on the local network. This networking mode is
applicable to local management for small WLANs. For the operation guide,
see Enterprise-Class Wi-Fi 6 Leader AP Quick Configuration Guide .
WLAN AC + Fit AP networking: APs register with a WLAN AC on the local
network. The administrator can perform service configuration and O&M for
multiple APs on the WLAN AC on the local network. This networking mode is
applicable to local management for midsize and large WLANs. For the
operation guide, see AC + Fit AP Basic Networking Examples .

To log in to the device, refer to How to Log In to WLAN ACs and APs .

2.2 Solid Wall Mounting

Context
A wall for installing the device needs to meet the following requirements:
● The wall can bear the weight of four times the total weight of the device and
mounting bracket without damage. When the total weight of the device and
mounting bracket is less than 1.25 kg, the load-bearing capability of the wall
must be greater than or equal to 5 kg.
● When the tightening torque of a screw reaches 3.5 N·m, the screw still
properly works, without crack or damage on the wall.

Procedure
Step 1 Attach the mounting bracket against the wall and mark positions of the mounting
holes with a marker.
When adjusting the mounting bracket position, ensure that the arrows of image
point upwards.
The following demonstrates the holes selected for different mounting brackets.
The figures in the following steps use a 7 mm mounting bracket as an example.

Step 2 Drill holes in the marked positions. Hammer the expansion tubes into the holes
until the expansion tubes are flush with the wall.

Step 3 Fix the mounting bracket to the wall and use the Phillips screwdriver to fasten
three expansion screws into the expansion tubes.

Step 4 Connect cables.

Step 5 Fasten the device according to the figure. When you hear a click, the AP is secured
to the lock position.
Before fastening the AP, ensure that the four rubber feet at the rear of the AP are
aligned with the installation holes on the mounting bracket.

If the following SN and MAC barcode labels are attached to the AP, remove them
from the AP, attach them to the construction report, and record the AP installation
position for future O&M.

2.3 T-Rail Mounting (Using a 15 mm Mounting Bracket

A)
Context
The 15 mm mounting bracket A is delivered together with flat-edge T-rail brackets
ST-F1 and ST-F2, which can be directly secured to a 15 mm, 24 mm, or 38 mm
flat-edge T-rail. The 7 mm and small mounting brackets are also applicable to T-
rail mounting. However, you need to prepare steel wire ropes, lead them through
the group J holes on the mounting bracket, and secure the mounting bracket to
the T-rail. For details, see WLAN Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
.

Figure 2-1 Supported flat-edge T-rails (cross sections)

Issue 05 (2024-04-16) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 9

WLAN Quick Start 2 Installing Indoor Settled APs

In this mounting mode, a T-rail for installing the device must be able to bear the
weight four times the total weight of the device and mounting bracket without
damage. For example, when the total weight of the device and mounting brackets
is less than 1.25 kg, the load-bearing capability of the T-rail must be greater than
or equal to 50 N.

Procedure
The following uses a 24 mm flat-edge T-rail as an example to describe how to
install an AP.

Step 1 Pre-tighten the M3x6.2 screw into T-rail bracket ST-F2.

Step 2 Slide T-rail brackets ST-F1 and ST-F2 into the mounting bracket according to the
sequence shown in the figure.

Step 3 Secure the M3x8 screw through hole 24 marked in the figure, and secure T-rail
bracket ST-F1.
The T-rails of 15 mm and 38 mm correspond to holes 15 and 38 on the mounting
bracket, respectively.

Issue 05 (2024-04-16) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 10

WLAN Quick Start 2 Installing Indoor Settled APs

Step 4 Insert T-rail bracket ST-F1 into the T-rail, and slide T-rail bracket ST-F2 along the
slot until the T-rail is tightened.

Step 5 Secure the M3x8 screw through hole 24 marked in the figure, and secure T-rail
bracket ST-F2.
The T-rails of 15 mm and 38 mm correspond to holes 15 and 38 on the mounting
bracket, respectively.

Step 6 Tighten the M3x6.2 set screw for installing the bracket.

NOTE

After the security screw is tightened, the mounting bracket may be slightly deformed. This
is normal and does not affect the AP use.

Step 7 Connect cables.

Step 8 Fasten the device according to the figure. When you hear a click, the AP is secured
to the lock position.

2.4 T-Rail Mounting (Using a 15 mm Mounting Bracket

B)
Context
The 15 mm mounting bracket B is delivered with a sliding plate, which can be
directly secured to the flat-edge T-rail of the following specifications, as shown in
the following figure.

Figure 2-2 Supported flat-edge T-rail (cross section)

In this mounting mode, a T-rail for installing the device must be able to bear the
weight four times the total weight of the device and mounting bracket without
damage. For example, when the total weight of the device and mounting brackets
is less than 1.25 kg, the load-bearing capability of the T-rail must be greater than
or equal to 50 N.

Procedure
Step 1 Remove the two ceilings near the T-rail. Use screws to pre-tighten the sliding
plates to the mounting bracket, and then adjust the sliding plate to secure the T-
rail between the sliding plate and the metal buckle on the mounting bracket.
Tighten the screw on the sliding plate.

5.2 Solid Wall Mounting (Using an Angle-Adjustable

Mounting Bracket)
Context
You can use the expansion bolts delivered with an AP to mount it on the wall.

A wall for installing the device needs to meet the following requirements:
● The wall can bear the weight of four times the total weight of the device and
mounting bracket without damage.
● When the tightening torque of a screw reaches 12 N·m, the screw still
properly works, without crack or damage on the wall.

NOTE

● When fixing the mounting bracket, ensure that the arrows of point upwards.
● When installing the AP on the mounting bracket, ensure that the AP logo is upside up.
● The length of the M6 hex key used for installation must be greater than or equal to 200
mm.

Procedure
Step 1 Attach the wall mounting bracket against the wall and adjust its position properly.
Mark positions of the mounting holes with a marker, as shown in the following
figure.

Step 2 Drill holes on the marked position, and install expansion bolts. Hammer the
expansion bolts into the installation holes until the flat washers are completely
attached to the wall. Then, remove the nut, spring washer, and flat washer in
order.

Step 3 Hang the wall mounting bracket on the expansion bolts and use a wrench to
fasten the flat washers, spring washers, and nuts in order.

Step 4 Use four M4x14 hexagon socket head cap screws to fasten the AP mounting
bracket to the AP.

NOTE

If the AP is of the cylinder shape, it is recommended that this step be performed in the package.

Step 5 Remove the topmost screw from the pole mounting bracket, hang the AP
mounting bracket onto the topmost screw, and tighten the screw until the screw
passes through the hole of the horizontal scale plate (the screw should not be too
tight).

Step 6 Loosen the vertical M6 screw, adjust the AP's angle at the horizontal and vertical
directions based on the scale plate, and then tighten the M6 and M8 screws.

If the following SN and MAC barcode labels are attached to the AP, remove them
from the AP, attach them to the construction report, and record the AP installation
position for future O&M.

A FAQs

A.1 How Do I Configure WLAN Services?

Understanding the AP Running Mode
In the cloud management solution, APs work in cloud mode. In the local
management solution, APs work in Fit or Fat mode.
A newly delivered AP works in Fit mode by default, and can automatically switch
to other modes. Manual switchover of the running mode is also supported.
● In the cloud management solution, APs automatically switch to the cloud
mode when they register with Huawei public cloud.
● In the local management solution with the leader AP networking, manually
switch the leader AP running mode to Fat.
