Dell PowerConnect W-IAP100 Series Instant Access PointInstallation GuideThe Dell PowerConnect W-IAP104 and W-IAP105 wireless access points supportthe IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. This access point usesMIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-throughput modetechniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz functionalitywhile simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services.The Dell PowerConnect W-IAP100 Series access points provide the followingcapabilities: Wireless transceiver Protocol-independent networking functionality IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless access point IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitor Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE Central management configuration and upgrades through a Dell PowerConnectW-Instant Virtual ControllerPackage Contents W-IAP104 or W-IAP105 access point Installation guide (this document) Dell PowerConnect W-Instant Quick Start Guide Dell PowerConnect W-Series Safety, Environmental, and RegulatoryInformation documentW-IAP100 Series Hardware OverviewFigure 1W-IAP100 Series Front (W-IAP104 shown)LEDsThe W-IAP100 Series is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the status of thevarious components of the IAP. PWR: Indicates whether or not the W-IAP100 Series is powered-on ENET: Indicates the status of the W-IAP100 Series’ Ethernet port 11A/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11a/n radio 11B/G/N: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radioFor information about the W-IAP100 Series’ LED behavior, see Table 1 on page 2.External Antenna ConnectorsThe W-IAP104 is designed for use with external antennas and equipped with fourexternal antenna connectors. The W-IAP105 is equipped with internal antennas.Figure 2W-IAP100 Series RearConsole PortUse the console port to connect to a terminal for direct local management.Ethernet PortW-IAP100 Series is equipped with a single 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing,MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. Supporting IEEE 802.3af Power overEthernet (PoE). This port accepts 48VDC as a standard defined Powered Device(PD) from Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE midspan injector, ornetwork infrastructure that supports PoE.DC Power SocketIf PoE is not available, an optional Dell power adapter kit (sold separately) can beused to power the W-IAP100 Series.Reset ButtonThe reset button can be used to return the IAP to factory default settings. To resetthe IAP:1. Power off the IAP.2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.3. Power-on the IAP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will flashwithin 5 seconds.4. Release the reset button.The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset iscompleted. The IAP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.Before You BeginIAP Pre-Installation ChecklistBefore installing your W-IAP100 Series IAP, ensure that you have the following: CAT5 UTP cable of required length One of the following power sources: IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source The POE source can be any Power Source Equipment (PSE) controller ormidspan PSE device Dell power adapter kit (sold separately)Summary of the Setup ProcessSetup an W-IAP100 Series access point by following the five tasks listed below:1. Verify pre-installation connectivity.2. Identify the specific installation location for each IAP.3. Install each IAP.4. Verify post-installation connectivity.5. Configure each IAP.Identifying Specific Installation LocationsYou can mount the W-IAP100 Series access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use theIAP placement map generated by Dell’s RF Plan software application to determinethe proper installation location(s). Each location should be as close as possible to thecenter of the intended coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvioussources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources willimpact RF propagation and should have been accounted for during the planningphase and adjusted for in RF plan.Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference SourcesIdentifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in thefield during the installation phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are takeninto consideration when you attach an IAP to its fixed location. Examples of sourcesthat degrade RF performance include: Cement and brick Objects that contain water Metal Microwave ovens Wireless phones and headsetsInstalling the IAPUsing the Integrated Wall-Mounting SlotsThe keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the IAP can be used to attach the deviceupright to an indoor wall or shelf. When you choose the mounting location, allowadditional space at the right of the unit for cables.1. Since the ports are on the back of the device, make sure that you mount the IAPin such a way that there is a clear path to the Ethernet port, such as a pre-drilledhole in the mounting surface.2. At the mounting location, install two screws on the wall or shelf, 1 7/8 inches(4.7 cm) apart. If you are attaching the device to drywall, it is recommended thatusing appropriate wall anchors (not included).3. Align the mounting slots on the rear of the IAP over the screws and slide the unitinto place (see Figure 3).Figure 3Installing the W-IAP100 Series Access Point on a WallUsing the Integrated Ceiling Tile Rail SlotsThe snap-in tile rail slots on the rear of the IAP can be used to securely attach thedevice directly to a 15/16" wide, standard ceiling tile rail.1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile where the IAPwill be placed.2. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the IAP.Hold the IAP next to the ceiling tile rail with the mounting slots at approximately a30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 4). Make sure that any cable slack isabove the ceiling tile.Figure 4Orienting the Ceiling Tile Rail Mounting Slots3. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the IAP clockwise until the device clicksinto place on the ceiling tile rail.Connecting Required CablesInstall cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations andpractices.Ethernet PortsThe RJ45 Ethernet port (ENET) supports 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX connections. Use a 4- or 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325feet) long.The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the back of the IAP. The port has an RJ-45 female connector with the pin-outs shown in Figure 5.Note: Inform your supplier if there are incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. Ifpossible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use thesematerials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.AP104_001PWRENET11B/G/N11A/NExternalAntennaConnectorNote: If you have converted your W-IAP100 Series to a controller managedcampus AP, resetting the device will convert it back into a factory default IAP.Caution: FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in theUnited States configured to non-US model controllers will be in violation of theFCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation mayresult in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and maybe subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).Caution: EU Statement:Lower power radio LAN product operating in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

For more information about IAP configuration, refer to theDellPowerConnect W-Instant Quick Start Guide and the Dell PowerConnect W-InstantUser Guide.Caution: Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject togovernmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for theconfiguration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcastregulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignmentsappropriate to the location in which the access point will be used.Caution: RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RFradiation exposure limits. This equipment should be installed and operated with aminimum distance of 13.78 inches (35 cm) between the radiator and your body for2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operations. This transmitter must not be co-located oroperating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. When operated inthe 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range, this device is restricted to indoor use toreduce the potential for harmful interference with co-channel Mobile SatelliteSystems.Caution: Installation and service of Dell PowerConnect W-Series products shouldbe performed by trained service personnel only.Caution: Make sure the IAP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging thedevice from the ceiling.AP105_003AP105_004
