Dell Networking W-IAP103 Instant Access PointInstallation GuideThe Dell Networking W-IAP103 Instant access point (IAP) supports the IEEE802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. The access point uses MIMO(Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology and other high-throughput modetechniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz functionalitywhile simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. TheW-IAP103 Instant access point works only in conjunction with a virtual controller.The W-IAP103 Instant access point provides the following capabilities: 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 PoEPackage Contents W-IAP103 Instant access point 9/16" and 15/16” Ceiling Rail Adapters Quick Start Guide Installation guide (this document)W-IAP103 Hardware OverviewFigure 1W-IAP103 LEDsLEDsThe W-IAP103 Instant access point is equipped with four LEDs that indicate thestatus of the various components of the IAP. PWR: Indicates whether or not the IAP is powered-on ENET: Indicates the status of the IAP’s Ethernet port 5 GHz: Indicates the status of the 802.11a/n radio 2.4 GHz: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radioFigure 2W-IAP103 Rear ViewConsole PortThe serial console port allows you to connect the IAP to a serial terminal or a laptopfor direct local management. This port is a 4-pin connector covered by a dust cover.An optional serial adapter cable (AP-CBL-SER) is available for use with theW-IAP103 Instant access point and is sold separately.Ethernet PortThe W-IAP103 Instant access point is equipped with one 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45)auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, accepting 48 VDC (nominal) as astandard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE.The port has RJ-45 female connectors with the pin-outs shown in Figure 3.Figure 3Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-OutDC Power SocketIf PoE is not available, an optional Dell AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) canbe used to power the W-IAP103 Instant access point.Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC source) can be used topower this device, as long as it complies with all applicable local regulatoryrequirements and the DC interface meets the following specifications: 12 VDC (+/- 5%)/18W Center-positive 1.7/4.0 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm lengthReset 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 the IAP, ensure that you have the following: CAT5e or better UTP cable of required length One of the following power sources: 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The POE source can beany midspan power source equipment (PSE) device Dell AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)Summary of the Setup ProcessSuccessful setup of the IAP consists of four tasks, which must be performed in thisorder:1. Identify the specific installation location for each IAP.2. Install each IAP.3. Verify post-installation connectivity.4. Configure the virtual controller. Refer to the Dell Networking W-Series InstantQuick Start Guide.Identifying Specific Installation LocationsYou can mount the W-IAP103 Instant access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Usethe IAP placement map generated by Dell VisualRF Plan software tool 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 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 Ceiling Rail AdapterThe W-IAP103 Instant access point ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and15/16” ceiling rails. Additional wall mount adapters and ceiling rail adapters for otherrail styles are available as accessory kits.1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near wherethe IAP will be placed.2. Place the adapter against the back of the IAP at an angle of approximately 30degrees to the tabs (see Figure 4).3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 4).Figure 4Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the IAP.5. Hold the IAP next to the ceiling tile rail at approximately a 30-degree angle to theceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceilingtile.6. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the IAP clockwise until the device clicksinto place on the ceiling tile rail.Figure 5Mounting the IAPNote: W-IAP103 Instant access point requires Dell Instant 4.1 or later.Note: Inform your supplier if there are any 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.Table 1LED BehaviorLED Color/State MeaningPWR Off No power to IAP, or initial power-upRed Error conditionGreen - Flashing IAP bootingGreen - Steady IAP readyENET Off Ethernet link unavailableYellow - Steady 10/100Mbps Ethernet link establishedGreen - Steady 1000Mbps Ethernet link establishedFlashing Ethernet link activity5 GHz Off 5 GHz radio disabledYellow - Steady 5 GHz radio enabled in non-HT WLAN modeGreen - Steady 5 GHz radio enabled in HT WLAN modeFlashing - Green 5 GHz Air or Spectrum Monitor2.4 GHz Off 2.4 GHz radio disabledYellow - Steady 2.4 GHz radio enabled in non-HT WLAN modeGreen - Steady 2.4 GHz radio enabled in HT WLAN modeFlashing - Green 2.4 GHz Air or Spectrum MonitorNote: The console port does not support hot-plug operation.Ethernet Port Console Port DC Power Socket Kensington LockResetButton1000Base-T GigabitEthernet PortRJ-45 FemalePin-OutSignal Name12345678BI_DC+BI_DC-BI_DD+BI_DD-BI_DA+BI_DA-BI_DB+BI_DB-FunctionBi-directional pair +CBi-directional pair -CBi-directional pair +DBi-directional pair -DBi-directional pair +ABi-directional pair -ABi-directional pair +BBi-directional pair -BCaution: 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.

For configuration information, refer to theDell Networking W-Series Instant Quick Start Guide andDell Networking W-Series Instant User Guide.Caution: Instant access points are radio transmission devices and as such aresubject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for theconfiguration and operation of Instant access points must comply with localbroadcast regulations. Specifically, Instant access points must use channelassignments appropriate to the location in which the Instant access point will beused.Note: Service to all Dell Networking products should be performed by trainedservice personnel only.Caution: Make sure the IAP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail whenhanging the device from the ceiling, because poor installation could causeit to fall on people or equipment.
