Before You Begin
Pre-Installation Network Requirements
After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their
placement have been determined, the Alcatel switch(s) must be installed and
initial setup performed before the Alcatel APs are deployed.
For initial setup of the switch, refer to the AOS-W Quick Start Guide for the
software version installed on your switch.
AP Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing your OAW-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) switch or midspan
PSE device
Alcatel AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
Alcatel Switch provisioned on the network:
Layer 2/3 network connectivity to your access point
One of the following network services:
Alcatel Discovery Protocol (ADP)
DNS server with an “A” record
DHCP Server with vendor-specific options
Summary of the Setup Process
Successful setup of an OAW-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.
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 switch 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 switch
Refer to the AOS-W Quick Start Guide for instructions on locating and
connecting to the switch.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the OAW-AP210 Series access point on a wall or on the ceiling.
Use the AP placement map generated by Alcatel’s Airwave 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
The OAW-AP210 Series requires AOS-W 6.4.2.0 or later.
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.
