AP3950 IEEE 802.11n
Managed Access Point

3CRWX395075A

The 3Com AP3950 Managed Access Point provides IEEE 802.11n/b/g, and 802.11n/a wireless access
to the network. The access point is designed for use with a 3Com Wireless LAN Controller, and
requires hardware installation only. All configuration for the access point takes place on the 3Com
Wireless LAN Controller.

You must have a wireless controller device to operate the access point. Four WLAN controller devices
can be connected to the access point:

• 3Com WX4400

• 3Com WX2200

• 3Com WX1200

• 3Com WXR100

Power is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE). Since the throughput of the AP 3950 is greater than
100Mb/s, it is recommended that the AP 3950 be connected to a Gigabit Ethernet port. The
following 3Com PoE devices supply power to the access point:

• 3Com PoE Injector (such as the 3CNJ1000PSE)

• 3Com WXR100

• 3Com 4400G PoE Switch

• 3Com 5500G PoE Switch

About This Guide

• 3Com AP3950 Managed Access Point Features

• Observing Safety Precautions

• Step 1: Unpacking the Access Point

• Step 2: Preparing for Installation

• Step 3: Mounting the Access Point

• Step 4: Connecting the Access Point to a Controller

• Step 5: Configuring the Access Point

• Step 6: Checking the LED Indicators

3Com AP3950 Managed Access Point Features

Kensington Security Slot

The access point has a slot for attachment of a Kensington security cable. The cable is not included with
the access point but can be ordered separately.

Lock and Unlock Holes

On one side of the access point there is a lock hole. On the other side there is an unlock hole. Insert a
3-mm or 1/8-inch screwdriver into the appropriate hole to attach and remove the access point from the
mounting bracket.

CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the access point, do not use excessive force when
inserting a tool into the lock or unlock hole.

2

RJ-45 Cable Ports

The access point has two RJ-45 ports. Each port provides a 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ethernet connection to
a WX controller. The connection can be direct to an WX controller or indirect through an intermediate
Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. For best performance, it is not recommend that the AP 3950 be connected
directly to the WXR100 or WX1200 wireless controller as these controllers only have 10/100 ports.

The access point receives power and data through the RJ-45 ports. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) cable with
straight-through signaling and standard RJ-45 connectors to connect an access point to a controller in
the network.

The two RJ-45 ports support dual-homed configurations for redundancy. The access point uses only one
link for booting, configuration, and data transfer. If the link becomes unavailable, the access point can
reboot using the other link. This second port can also be used for supplying additional power. Since the
AP 3950 is a dual radio 802.11a/b/g/n access point, its power draw is slightly greater than what 802.3af
power can supply. When only a single 802.3af power connection is applied, the AP uses two
transmitters rather than all three (i.e. 2 x 3 MIMO). When dual 802.3af ports are used, the AP comes up
in full 3 x 3 MIMO mode for extended ranges. You can also power the AP via a single 802.3af+, also
known as pre-802.3at, switch or injector to get full 3 x 3 MIMO mode.

The ports are identical except for logical numbering (1 or 2). You can use either port to connect the
access point to a WX controller. However, the access point always attempts to boot on port 1 first. Only
if the boot attempt on port 1 fails does the access point attempt to boot on port 2. If one port becomes
unavailable, the other port can provide full power to the access point.

Note: The access point does not support daisy-chain configurations. Do not connect the access point
to another AP3950 access point.

Observing Safety Precautions

This equipment must be installed in compliance with local and national building codes, regulatory
restrictions, and FCC rules. For the safety of people and equipment, only professional network personnel
should install the access point

.\

WARNING: To comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, a minimum body-to-

antenna distance of 20 cm (8 inches) must be maintained when the access point is operational.

WARNING: To avoid possible injury or damage to equipment, you must use power supply equipment
that is safety certified according to UL, CSA, IEC, or other applicable national or international safety
requirements for the country of use. All references to power supply in this document refer to equipment
meeting these requirements.

WARNING: Do not operate the access point near unshielded blasting caps or in an otherwise

explosive environment unless the device has been modified for such use by qualified personnel.

WARNING: Do not touch or move the access point when the antennas are transmitting or receiving.

WARNING: Do not hold any radio device so that the antenna is very close to or touching the face,

eyes, or other exposed body part while the device’s radio antenna is transmitting.

3

WARNING: Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the local codes, national

codes, and safety directors of the location for usage constraints.

WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the access point
hardware during periods of lightning activity.

NOTE: The access point is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the device outdoors,
unless you install it in a properly installed enclosure.

NOTE: To reduce the possibility of connection interference caused by dust, clean the

5 connector pins before inserting a cable into the access point.

2 Preparing for Installation

It is advisable to connect the power (if using an external power supply) and check the Ethernet cables
and LEDs before installing the access
following before mounting or connecting the access point:

• Cabling Make sure that standard Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling is

installed at the site before you install the access point.
Make sure that the cable is highly flexible and that there is no extra covering
on the RJ-45 connector that could prevent the cable from being routed
through the mounting bracket

• Power Power must be supplied via an 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE)-compliant

device. Removal of the Ethernet cable is the only method of disconnecting
power from the access point.
transmitters and three receivers (3 x 3 MIMO) in this dual radio 802.11a/b/g/n
Access Point, the AP 3950 power demands exceed the 802.3af power limits.
The AP 3950 has an auto-sense capability so that, when only 802.3af power
is supplied, it turns on in a 2 x 3 mode. When 802.3af+ (also known as pre-

802.3at) or two 802.3af ports are used, the AP 3950 comes up in full 3 x 3

• This device may be not be operated outdoors when using the bands 5150-5350MHz (Channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52,
56, 50, 64).

• In Italy the end-user must apply for a license from the national spectrum authority to operate this device outdoors.

• To remain in conformance with European spectrum usage laws for Wireless LAN operation, the above 2.4GHz and
5GHz channel limitations apply. The user should check the current channel of operation. If operation is occurring
outside of the allowable frequencies as listed above, the user must cease operating the Managed Access Point at
that location and consult the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless network.

• The 5GHz Turbo mode feature is not allowed for operation in any European Community country.

• This device must be used with the radar detection feature required for European Community operation in the 5GHz
bands. This device will avoid operating on a channel occupied by any radar system in the area. The presence of
nearby radar operation may result in temporary interruption in communications of this device. The Access Point's
radar detection feature will automatically restart operation on a channel free of radar. You may consult with the local
technical support staff responsible for the wireless network to ensure the Access Point device(s) are properly
configured for European Community operation.

• Radio detection, as described above, is automatically enabled when the selected country of operation is within the
European Community.

• To reduce potential radio interference to other users, output power and antenna gain should be no higher than that
necessary for successful communication. The RF Auto-Tuning feature may be used to assist with this.
