Dell Networking W-AP103 Access Point  
Installation Guide  
The Dell Networking W-AP103 wireless access point (AP) supports the IEEE  
802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. The access point uses MIMO  
(Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology and other high-throughput mode  
techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz functionality  
while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The W-AP103  
access point works only in conjunction with a Dell Networking W-Series Mobility  
Controller.

Before You Begin  
Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity  
Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs meet the  
following conditions after power on:  
Console Port  
Ethernet Port  
DC Power Socket  
Kensington Lock  
Caution: FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the  
United States configured to non-US model controllers will be in violation of the  
FCC grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may  
result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may  
be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).  
When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address  
APs are able to locate and connect to the controller  
Refer to the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions  
on locating and connecting to the controller.  
The W-AP103 access point provides the following capabilities:  
Wireless transceiver

Identifying Specific Installation Locations  
You can mount the W-AP103 access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use the AP  
placement map generated by Dell VisualRF Plan software application to determine  
the proper installation location(s). Each location should be as close as possible to the  
center of the intended coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvious  
sources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources will  
impact RF propagation and should have been accounted for during the planning  
phase and adjusted for in VisualRF plan.

Identifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in the  
field during the installation phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are taken  
into consideration when you attach an AP to its fixed location. Examples of sources  
that degrade RF performance include:  
Note: Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If  
possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use these  
materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.  
Pre-Installation Network Requirements  
Cement and brick  
Objects that contain water  
Metal  
After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their placement  
have been determined, the Dell controller(s) must be installed and initial setup  
performed before the Dell APs are deployed.  
Console Port  
The serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop  
for direct local management. This port is a 4-pin connector covered by a dust cover.

For initial setup of the controller, refer to the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS  
Quick Start Guide for the software version installed on the controller.  
Wireless phones and headsets  
Ethernet Port  
The W-AP103 access point is equipped with one 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-  
sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE  
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, accepting 48 VDC (nominal) as a  
standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)  
such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE.  
AP Pre-Installation Checklist  
Before installing the AP, ensure that you have the following:  
Installing the AP  
CAT5e or better UTP cable of required length  
One of the following power sources:  
Note: Service to all Dell Networking products should be performed by trained  
service personnel only.  
The port has RJ-45 female connectors with the pin-outs shown in Figure 3.

Dell AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)  
The W-AP103 access point ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and 15/16”  
ceiling rails. Additional wall mount adapters and ceiling rail adapters for other rail  
styles are available as accessory kits.

Note: Dell, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the  
W-AP103 access point so that only authorized network administrators can change  
the settings. For AP configuration information, refer to the Dell Networking W-  
Series ArubaOS Quick Start Guide and Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS User  
Guide.

3. Power-on the AP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will flash  
within 5 seconds.  
4. Release the reset button.  
The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is  
completed. The AP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.  
Caution: Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to  
governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the  
configuration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcast  
regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments  
appropriate to the location in which the access point will be used.

4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the AP.  
5. Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail at approximately a 30-degree angle to the  
ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling  
tile.
