Installation Guide
The Dell Networking W-AP103H wireless access point supports the IEEE 802.11n
standard for high-performance WLAN. This access point uses MIMO (MultipleInput, 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-AP103H
access point works only in conjunction with a Dell Networking W-Series Mobility
Controller.
The W-AP103H 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 PoE
Central management configuration and upgrades through a Dell Controller
Note: The W-AP103H requires Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.4.1.0 or
later version.

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.
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.
An optional serial adapter cable (AP-CBL-SER) is available for use with the WAP103H access point and is sold separately.
Warning: Hot-plug operation is not recommended for the console port.

Ethernet Ports
W-AP103H access point is equipped with a total of three active Ethernet ports
(ENET 0-2). ENET 0 is a 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX
wired-network uplink connectivity port. This port supports IEEE 802.3af Power over
Ethernet (PoE), accepting 48VDC (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. ENET 1 and 2 are 10/100Base-T (RJ-45)
auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network downlink connectivity ports, used to provide
secure network connectivity to wired devices. ENET 0 is located on the back of the
AP (Figure 2), while ENET 1 and 2 are located on the bottom of the AP (Figure 3).
Additionally, the W-AP103H access point supports a passive pass-through RJ-45
interface to extend a physical connection (typically another Ethernet connection)
from the back of the device to a connector on the bottom.
Before You Begin
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).
Caution: EU Statement:

Pre-Installation Network Requirements
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 APs are deployed.
AP Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your W-AP103H access point, be sure that you have the following:
for
Dell
per avere
Verifying Pre-Installation Connectivity
Before you install APs in a network environment, make sure that the APs are able to
locate and connect to the controller after power on. Specifically, you must verify the
following conditions:
When connected to the network, each AP is assigned a valid IP address
APs are able to locate the controller
Refer to the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for instructions
on locating and connecting to the controller.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the W-AP103H access point on a wall. 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. 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/Interference Sources
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.
RF absorbers include:
Cement/concrete—Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries
out the concrete, allowing for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high
levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking RF signals.
Natural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees
Brick
RF reflectors include:

DC Power Socket
The W-AP103H access point has a single 12V DC power jack socket to support
powering through an AC-to-DC power adapter.
Note: If both POE and DC power are available, the AP uses POE.
Push Button
The push button can be used to reset the AP to factory default settings or turn off/on
the System Status LED.
To reset the AP to factory default settings:
1. Power off the AP.
2. Press and hold the push button using a small, narrow object, such as a
paperclip.
3. Power-on the AP without releasing the push button. The system status LED
will flash within 5 seconds.
4. Release the push button.
The system status 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.
To turn off/on the system status LED:
During the normal operation of the AP, press the push button using a small,
narrow object, such as a paperclip. The system status LED will be turned off/on
immediately.

Summary of the Setup Process
Note: It is important that you verify the items listed under AP Pre-Installation
Checklist before you attempt to set up and install a W-AP103H access point.
Successful setup of a W-AP103H access point consists of five tasks, which must be
performed in this order:
1. Verify pre-installation connectivity.
2. Identify the specific installation location for each AP.
3. Install each AP.
4. Verify post-installation connectivity.
5. Configure each AP.
Note: Dell, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the
W-AP103H access point so that only authorized network administrators can change
the settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer to the
Networking W-Series ArubaOS Quick Start Guide
ArubaOS User Guide
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.
