Installation Guide

The Dell Networking W-AP210 Series (W-AP214 and W-AP215) wireless access points support the IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11n standards for high-performance WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver highperformance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The W-AP210 Series access points work only in conjunction with a Dell Networking W-Series Mobility Controller.

The W-AP210 Series access point provides the following capabilities:

 Wireless transceiver

 Protocol-independent networking functionality

 IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access point

 IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor

 Compatibility with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE

 Central management configuration and upgrades through a controller

Note: The W-AP210 Series access point requires Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.4.2.0

or later version.

Package Contents

 W-AP214 or W-AP215 Access Point

 9/16" and 15/16” Ceiling Rail Adapters

 Installation Guide (this document)

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.

W-AP210 Series Hardware Overview

Figure 2

W-AP210 Series Side View (W-AP214 shown)

External Antenna Connectors

The W-AP214 is equipped with three external antenna connectors. The connectors are labeled ANT0, ANT1, and ANT2, and correspond to radio chains 0, 1, and 2.

For optimal performance when using articulating direct-mount antennas, professional installers must orient the antennas with ANT0 and ANT2 at 45 degree angles and ANT1 oriented straight out (see Figure 3).

USB Interface

The W-AP210 Series is equipped with a USB interface for connectivity with cellular modems.

standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the bottom of the AP. The port has RJ-45 female connectors with the pin-outs shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6

Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out

DC Power Socket

If PoE is not available, an optional Dell AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) can be used to power the W-AP210 Series.

Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC source) can be used to power this device, as long as it complies with all applicable local regulatory requirements and the DC interface meets the following specifications:

 12 VDC (+/- 5%)/18W

 Center-positive 1.7/4.0 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm length

Reset Button

The reset button can be used to return the AP to factory default settings. To reset the AP:

1. Power off the AP.

2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.

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.

Before You Begin

 Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)

 DNS server with an “A” record

 DHCP Server with vendor-specific options

Summary of the Setup Process

Successful setup of a W-AP210 Series 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-AP210

Series access points so that only authorized network administrators can change the settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer to the

Quick Start 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.

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.

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 Dell APs are deployed.

For initial setup of the controller, refer to the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS Quick Start Guide corresponding to the software version installed on your controller.

AP Pre-Installation Checklist

Before installing your W-AP210 Series AP, ensure that you have the following:

 CAT5e or better UTP cable of required length

 One of the following power sources:

 IEEE 802.3at or 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The

POE source can be any power source equipment (PSE) controller or midspan PSE device

 Dell AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)

 Dell Controller provisioned on the network:

 Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point

 One of the following network services:

Dell

Identifying Specific Installation Locations

You can mount the W-AP210 Series 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/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. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance include:

 Cement and brick

 Objects that contain water

 Metal

 Microwave ovens

 Wireless phones and headsets

Installing the AP

Note: Service to all Dell products should be performed by trained service personnel only.

Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter

The W-AP210 Series 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.

Caution: Make sure the AP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when hanging the device

from the ceiling, because poor installation could cause it to fall on people or equipment.

1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile where the AP will be placed.

2. Place the adapter against the back of the AP at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the tabs (see Figure 7).

3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 7).
