Installation and Configuration Procedure

The steps that follow describe how to complete the in stallation and basic configuration of the W110.

Step 1: Connect the Ethernet Cable to the W110

The W110 has one LAN port on the rear panel which is used to connect the standard Category 5 Ethernet cable from the W110 to a W310 port.

Insert the RJ45 plug from a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable into the W110 LAN port. The cable also provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the W310.

Step 2: Connect the Other End of Cable(s)

Directly connect the other end of the cable to one of the W310 Ethernet ports.

Insert the RJ45 plug from the standard Categ ory 5 Ethernet cable into the W310 Ethernet port. The W3 10 provides 16 10/ 100 Base-T Ethernet interfaces with PoE . The W310 will supply power to a port only after it has detected a W110.

Step 3: W110 LEDs

Once you connect both ends of the Ethernet cable and the W310 mobility gateway is up and running, all front panel LE Ds illuminate briefly.

Step 4: Mount the W110

Mount the W110 to one of the following:

—Ceiling —Wall

You can also place the W110 on a desktop rather than mounting it to a wall and ceiling.

Mounting the W110 to a ceiling:

CAUTION:

It is the your responsibility to use th e proper hardware (screws/ mounting plate) for the installation, and, to mount the device in a safe and secure manner and location for your environment.

a. Attach the mounting plate to the bottom of the W110 by lining up

the keyholes and snapping it int o place.

b. Snap the tabs onto the ceiling T-bar. Rotate the W110 until it

snaps on to the T-bar.

CAUTION:

You must use the proper screws and mounting hardware that is appropriate for the material to which you are attaching the W110.

a. Put the mounting plate up to the wall.

b. Screw through the mounting plate.

c. Place the AP up agains t the mounting plate. Orient the AP

vertically (as shown below), with the LAN connector facing to the right.

Step 5: Configure the W110 Through the W310

The W110 configuration is done through the W310 using the Com mand Line Interface (CLI) or the W310 Device Ma nager (Web Interface).

NOTE:

It is recommended that you use the Quick Setup Guide for the W310 Device Manager or Command Line Interfac e (CLI) for installation and configuration instruc tions.

If you want to verify the W110 port parameters on the W310, you can use the CLI. This CLI allows you to check if yo u have the correct version of the W110 software image loaded.

a. If you have not done so already, open a CLI session for the

W310 that has the W110 connected to it.

b. Type show lap parameters at the prompt to display the

parameters for each W110 connected to a W310 port. In the example shown below, port 1 does not have a W110 connected to it while port 2 does.

LAP's General Attributes: Lap Name port-01 Lap Location N/A Physical Port Number 1 Hardware Version N/A Software Image Version N/A Original Boot Loader Version N/A Upgrade Boot Loader Version N/A Up Time N/A Current Operational Mode 802.11a

.......

c. It is recommended that you go to the Quick Setup Guide or the

W310 Command Line Reference Guide b efore making any

changes to the W110 configuration using the CLI.

Troubleshooting

This section describes how to trouble shoot connection issues with the W110. For configuration issues, see the W310 Installation and Configuration User Guide.

Connectivity - No LED Activity on the W110

1. Check to see if the PoE LED for the port on the W310 is either solid or flashing green. If it is not lit, check to se e if the port is set to deliver Power over Ethernet. Use the W310 CL I command show powerinline to see if the port is set to receive power.

— If the port is receiving power, the Inline Operational Status

for the port will display as “Delivering Po wer”.

— If power is not enabled, then try the CLI command set

port powerinline 1/<port_number> enable to enable power for the port. (where 1 is th e module number, <port_number> is the W310 port, and enable/disable is to enable/disable power for the port.

— If it is set correctly, try a different port on the W310 – if it

works, there is probably a faulty port or bad RJ -45 port connection.

2. Double check to see if all cables are con nected to the W110 correctly.

3. Make sure you are using a standard Category 5 cable to power the W110. The cable should have a length less than the Ethernet standard of 100 meters (325 feet) from the Ethernet port on the W310 to the W110 LAN port.

4. Try using a different Ethernet cable – if it works, there m ay be a faulty connection on the cable.

5. Try to connect a different W110 to the same port on the W310 – if it works and a link is established, ther e is probably a faulty data link in the W110.

Connectivity - LED Activity But Users Cannot Access the W310

Make sure you have configured the W110 with the proper Netw ork Name (SSID) and Security settings. T his is done through the W310 using the W310 Device Manager or W310 C LI.

Wireless Communication Range

The range of the wireless signal is re lated to the composition of objects in the radio wave path and the transmit rate of the wireless communication. Communications at a lower transmit ra nge may travel longer distances. These values are provided as a guide of rel ative ranges by data rates only and should ot be considered as an ab solute value of performance.

The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal surfaces and sol id high-density materials. Range is also impacted due to “obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.

— In Open Office environments, antennas c an “see” each other

(no physical obstructions between them).

— In Semi-open Office environments, workspace is divided by

shoulder-height, hollow wall elements; antennas are at desktop level.

— In a Closed Office environment, solid walls and other

obstructions may affect signal strength.

The following tables show typical range v alues for various environments for FCC-certified products (range may differ for produc ts certified in other regulatory domains).
