Dell w-ap104, w-ap105 User Manual
Dell PowerConnect W-AP104 and
W-AP105 Access Points
The multifunction Dell™ PowerConnect™ W-AP104 and W-AP105
are best selling indoor, dual-radio 802.11n access points (AP)
designed for high-density deployments in oces, hospitals, schools
and retail stores. These compact, high speed APs delivers wire-like
performance at data rates up to 300 Mbps per radio. The W-AP
Access Points and W-Series Controllers complement Dell’s existing
PowerConnect portfolio of networking solutions, and securely
and eciently extend wired network capabilities to the mobile
workforce.
The W-AP104 features two 2x2 MIMO dual-band 2.4-GHz/5-GHz
radios with detachable antenna while the W-AP105 features the
same radios with integrated internal antennas. Both are built
to provide years of trouble-free operation and are backed by a
extended lifetime warranty.
Working with Dell’s line of centralized PowerConnect W Series
Controllers, the W-AP104 and W-AP105 deliver secure, high-speed
wireless network services for user mobility that works seamlessly
within enterprise, branch and campus network deployments.
802.11n enables the use of wireless as a primary connection with
speed and reliability comparable to a wired LAN. It also increases
performance by utilizing techniques such as channel bonding,
block acknowledgement and MIMO radios. Advanced antenna
technology also increases range and reliability.
Key to ensuring wire-like performance and reliability is Dell’s
unique Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) capability, which
manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands to deliver maximum
client performance. ARM enables mixed 802.11a, b. g and n
clients to interoperate at the highest performance levels via band
steering, airtime fairness between clients and mitigating channel
interference between APs.
The multifunction W-AP104 and W-AP105 can be configured through
the controller to provide wireless LAN (WLAN) access with parttime air monitoring, dedicated air monitoring for wireless intrusion
protection, Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise mesh.
The W-AP104 and W-AP105 features dual 100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet
interfaces and operate from standard 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) sources or a 12-volt DC power supply.
