2 Installation and Debugging

This chapter details the methods and procedure of installation and debugging of the
W800A for your reference.

2.1 Installation Preparations

2.1.1 Installation Preparation Flow

Before installing the W800A, the engineering personnel should confirm that such work
as solution design, project survey and W800A basic configurations have been
completed. Brief introductions to the preparations required for installation are as
follows.

2.1.1.1 Channel Planning

According to 802.11b wireless LAN international standard and the standard of state
radio management committee, the working frequency band of a wireless device in the
wireless LAN is 2400 MHz ~ 2483.5 MHz, and the working frequency bandwidth is

83.5 MHz, divided into 14 sub-channels with 22 MHz as the bandwidth for each one.

The sub-channel distribution is shown in Fig. 2.1-1.

Fig. 2.1-1 Sub-Channel Distribution

Viewed from the above diagram, up to 13 channels are available. The IDs and central
frequencies of these 13 channels are described in Table 2.1-1.

Professional Installation Instruction Manual

2-2

Table 2.1-1 IDs and Frequencies of Channels

Channel ID Central Frequency Low End/High End Frequency of the Channel

1 2412MHz 2401/2423MHz
2 2417MHz 2411/2433MHz
3 2422MHz 2416/2438MHz
4 2427MHz 2421/2443MHz
5 2432MHz 2426/2448MHz
6 2437MHz 2431/2453MHz
7 2442MHz 2431/2453MHz
8 2447MHz 2436/2458MHz

9 2452MHz 2441/2463MHz
10 2457MHz 2446/2468MHz
11 2462MHz 2451/2473MHz
12 2467MHz 2456/2478MHz
13 2472MHz 2461/2483MHz

When multiple channels work at the same time, the central frequency intervals between
two channels should not be less than 25 MHz to avoid mutual interference. As show n
in Fig. 2.1-1, in a cell, direct spread spectrum technology can support simultaneous
work of up to 3 un-overlapped channels.

In the wireless LAN planning, to realize efficient coverage of APs and avoid mutual
interference between channels, the cellular coverage principle of BTS is adopted in the
channel distribution. 3 un-overlapped channels (for example, channels 1, 6 and 11) can
be used in the same area at the same time, as shown in Fig. 2.1-1.

Chapter 4 Installation and Debugging

2-3

When using APs, for the adjacent APs, we will select their working channels (channels
1, 6 and 11 are usually used) according to the principle shown in Fig. 2.1-1, to
guarantee the normal work of the wireless LAN.

The channel distribution principle of 802.11g standard is the same as that of 802.11b.

802.11a standard channels feature anti-interference performance, so no special
configuration is required. In the actual networking, you only need make sure that the
channels between adjacent APs are different.

2.1.1.2 Configuration before Installation

Before the installation, power on W800As in turn and check whether they can work
normally. In the normal case, the Power indicator and ACT indicator on the W800A
panel should be always on, and the RUN indicator should flash slowly (about once per
second). If the indicator is not in the normal status, you can log on to the W800A in the
hyper terminal mode and check whether the version is loaded normally. If necessary,
you can reload the version (refer to Section 7.3 Version Loading and Upgrade for
detailed procedure).

When you make sure that the W800A works normally, it is required to implement basic
configurations for it. The configuration contents are as follows:

1. Configuring the W800A IP addresses, that is, management addresses. At least
one management address should be configured for each W800A, for the
management configuration of W800A.

2. Configuring the wireless working mode of the W800A wireless interface and the
SSID (Service ID), using channel and rate of the corresponding wireless
interface.

The detailed configuration methods will be introduced in the subsequent sections.

2.1.3 Installation Environment Inspection

The W800A can only be used indoors. To guarantee the normal work and longer useful
life of the equipment, the indoor temperature range should be -5 °C ~ 45 °C, you
should maintain good ventilation and dry air indoors, and the relative humidity range is
5% ~ 95%.

2.1.4 Unpacking Inspection

Generally, the following equipment and accessories are contained in the package of this
product.

& Note:

Please refer to the packing list in the package. If there is any missing part, please
contact ZTE Cooperation.

2.2 Installation

W800A shell is made in plastic with certain mechanical intensity, and can satisfy the
using requirement. The material is fire-resistant and satisfies the environment
protection requirement. The ground bolt can be installed on the interface board of the
shell, for grounding. The W800A can be used not only on the desktop or ceiling but
also on the wall, so it is easily to be used.

The W800A installation process is described in detail as follows:

1. Place the W800A to the proper position according to the engineering planning,
for example, evenly place it on the desktop, ceiling or wall.

2. Determine the angle of the antenna.

3. Connect the power cable to the power socket on the W800A backplane.

4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface on the W800A backplane.

Chapter 4 Installation and Debugging

2-5

Fig. 2.22-1 installation instruction

When the W800A is installed on the ceiling, for the ceiling in plaster or floor, the
W800A antenna can be directly installed on the ceiling; for the ceiling in metal, if the
antenna is directly installed on the ceiling, the antenna signal will be shielded and
W800A can not work normally, so you should lead the antenna to the place under the
ceiling, through correct antenna feeder. If the W800A is hanged on the wall, reliable
fixing method is necessary. If the W800A is placed on the desktop, reliable fixing
method is required to ensure the safety of the equipment.

Warning

5. Once the RF antenna connector is screwed onto the W800A, the connectors must

be rendered "permanent" and non-disconnectable in accordance with FCC rules.

This can be accomplished either by;

a) Soldering the connectors together, (see Fig. 2.22-2) or,

ZXR10 WAS (V2.0) IP Wireless Access System W800A Wireless Access Point

Professional Installation Instruction Manual

2-6

Fig. 2.22-2 Soldered Connectors

b) Gluing together by using permanent, fast-setting epoxy glue and surround the

entire periphery of the connector junction so it is not possible to disconnect.

Follow the directions provided on the glue package for cleaning and mixing the

two-part glue together.

2.3 Power-on and Power- off

The following two power methods are used for the W800A system.

1. Use the in -house power adapter of the W800A.

2. Use PoE.

The terminal PoE module is embedded in the W800A. When PoE power supply is
adopted, a standard straight-through cable is used to connect the PoE interface of the
PoE source end device W112P or W105P. For the detailed description, refer to
Appendix B.

To power on the W800A, connect the power adapter or Ethernet cable for powering the
Ethernet for the W800A. After being powered on, the W800A will start automatically,
without any operation by users.

To power off the W800A, directly disconnect the W800A power adapter or the cable
for powering Ethernet.

2.4 Debugging

After W800A is powered on and started, it is required to implement service debugging.
There are three purposes for debugging:
