Quick Installation Guide
For Outdoor Access Point WAO9122
The WAO 9122 Hardened Wireless Access Point (WAP)
provides Avaya wireless technology in a hardened case for
installation outdoors and in other harsh environments.
This guide describes how to install the WAO 9122 on a pole
or wall and execute the initial power up of the WAP. The
pole or wall can be a structure that is installed at ground
level or on a roof. The WAO 9122 is not compatible with other Avaya mounting options. For
additional information, refer to Using the Avaya Wireless Orchestration System (NN47252-103).
This document is intended ONLY for WAO 9122 model WAPs. For other models please
see the installation guide for that model series.
You Need the Following Items
Accessory Kit (included in each WAP carton) includes:
Mounting bracket and eight attachment screws
Grounding screw
Watertight RJ connector assembly
Appropriate tools, bands, screws, and/or anchors required for the desired mounting
location (not provided with the WAP).
Antenna and low-loss outdoor-rated coaxial cables terminated with N Male to Reverse
Polarity TNC connectors . Note that some antennas include integrated cables as part of the
unit, and these do not need separate cables - an example is shown in Step 9.
Grounding wire
Workstation with a Web browser to configure the WAP.
RJ-45 Ethernet connection(s) to your wired network.
Power—WAO 9122 WAPs are powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) using an outdoor-
rated Ethernet Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable that also carries data traffic. Only Avaya-supplied
power injectors, or 802.3af or 802.3at PoE-compliant switches, may be used to power the
WAO 9122. The WAO 9122 is powered by one injector port rated at 20W or higher.
NOTE: PoE Injectors and switches must be installed and used indoors.

Choose a Suitable Location
The WAO 9122 is tested to IP65 waterproof and dust-proof requirements to protect against
severely wet and dusty environments. For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive
survey be performed by a qualified Avaya partner.
Choose a location that is not subjected to submersion.
Direct sunlight may raise the effective ambient temperature many degrees above air
temperature. It is best to choose a location that has some protection from the sun.
The maximum cable length between the WAO 9122 and the RJ-45 Ethernet network is
100 meters. The PoE injector is not a repeater, so its location will not increase this
distance.
The WAO 9122 can operate from a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link. However,
the unit will need to be configured via the Ethernet connection prior to mounting and
power must still be supplied via the RJ-45 Ethernet connector.
Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise—at least
3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters).
Prepare the Mounting Location
Part of the mechanical installation is to ensure that the WAP is grounded to earth ground to
dissipate any static electric charge that may develop due to wind.
Determine a good electrical earth ground point near the WAP mounting location. If an
earth ground point is not available, consult an electrician to have one installed.
Before the WAP is attached to a wall or pole, secure a grounding wire and lug to the
WAP with the provided screw in the location indicated by the arrow, below.

Attach the Mounting Plate to the WAP
The accessory kit includes a mounting plate. Mounting plate dimensions are included in
“Dimensions” on page 11. The mounting plate can be used for wall or pole mounting by
reversing the side of the plate exposed. Attach the mounting plate to the WAP using the eight
provided screws in the locations indicated below (secure in at least 4 places).
For Wall Mounting:
For Wall Mounting, position the bracket with the four slotted flanges pointed towards the WAP,
as shown in Step 3, above.
For Pole Mounting:
For Pole Mounting, position the bracket with the four slotted flanges pointed away from the
WAP, as shown below.
Mount the WAP on a Pole or Wall
5a - Pole Mounting
For pole mounting, Avaya recommends using metal straps (not included with the WAP). The
metal straps can be obtained from BAND-IT-IDEX, Inc. (www.BAND-IT-IDEX.com). See their
web site for additional contact information. Complete the following steps to mount the WAP to
a pole.

.
Install the metal bands through the holes in the mounting
bracket.
Note that the photos below show a different mounting
bracket. The steps for installation are identical, however.
Hand tighten the Band-It strap through the pole mounting
bracket, thread it through the strap buckle and then bend
the strap back.
Using the Band-It tool, place the tool onto the strap.
Rotate the Band-It tool so that it can pull the excess strap
through the buckle and turn the crank until the strap is
very tight.
Once the strap is satisfactorily tight, rotate the Band-It tool
back so that the strap cannot slide back through the
buckle.

Using the built in cutting tool on the Band-It tool, cut the
excess strap.
Your installation should now appear as shown here.
Using a hammer, bend back and flatten the remaining
strap.
Using a hammer, bend and flatten the two tabs on the
buckle to hold the flattened strap end in place.
The completed attachment should have the mounting
bracket firmly seated against the pole. One band should
be enough for most installations however a second band
can be used for additional mounting security.

5b - Wall Mounting
Place the WAP in the desired location and mark the location
of the two mounting holes on the wall, as shown.
Drill and prepare the holes for the desired screw type. In
metal walls the holes may be tapped to the proper thread or
alternatively the WAP may be mounted with sheet metal
screws. For concrete walls a plastic anchor and screw are
suggested.
NOTE: Mounting screws for attaching the plate to the wall
are not provided in the kit.
The WAP should already be secured to the mounting plate (Step 4). Mount the assembly
to the wall, securing it at the two locations indicated.
Ground to Earth Ground
WARNING: This equipment must be externally grounded
using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is
applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable
grounding is available.
The mechanical installation must ensure that the WAP is grounded
to earth ground to dissipate static electric charge that may develop
due to wind. In Step 3, you secured a grounding wire to the WAP.
After Step 3 is complete and the WAP is mounted to the wall or pole, attach the
grounding wire from the WAP to the electrical earth ground point that you located or
installed in Step 3. The photo shows an earth ground connection where the WAP is
mounted on a pole at ground level and the grounding wire is attached to a stake driven
into the ground.
Continue the installation by mounting the antenna and attaching the cables as described
in Steps 7, 8, and 9.

Install an Antenna
NOTE: Be sure to configure the WAP's Radios to the proper bands (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz)
in Step 11. Each must match the band of the antenna to which it is connected.
Install your antenna as directed by the manufacturer.
Use low-loss outdoor-rated coaxial cables terminated with N Male to Reverse Polarity
TNC connectors for connection to the WAP antenna ports. Note that some antennas
include integrated cables as part of the unit, and these do not need separate cables.
Connect the Ethernet Cable with the Waterproof Connector
All WAO 9122 WAPs are powered directly via their Gigabit Ethernet connection.
Power: These WAPs are only powered through the GIG PoE port. Only Avaya-supplied
power injectors, or 802.3af or 802.3at PoE-compliant switches, may be used to power the
WAO 9122.
Data: Data is supplied to the Gigabit port via the same cable that powers the WAP.
NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT to assemble the waterproof connector properly,
following the directions below. Failure to do so may expose the WAP to the elements,
and may result in an intermittent connection causing the WAP to connect at very low
speeds!
The Ethernet cable must be terminated with a simple RJ45 plug with the tab exposed, as
shown on the left below. Do not use a plug with a tab protector boot, as shown on the
right. This will not seat properly in the waterproof connector, and the assembly will not
be watertight.

The components of the connector are shown in the photo below in the order that they are
placed onto the Ethernet cable, and also shown in more detail as a color-coded drawing.
You will perform a few assembly steps below before sliding the parts onto the cable.
Seat the O-ring (shown in red) on the connector body (gray) at its RJ45 jack side.
Note the slots in the collar of the connector body and the matching tabs inside the
connector ring. Insert the connector body into the connector ring so that they mate.
Slide the sealing nut (shown in green) and the connector body assembly over the Ethernet
cable as shown.
Attach the split washer and split rubber grommet over the cable.
Seat the washer in the sealing nut and slide the grommet into the connector body.

Snug all of the components together as shown, but leave the RJ45 connector protruding.
Tighten the sealing nut lightly, making sure that the RJ45 connector is rotated so that it
will seat easily in the connector body later.
Plug the RJ45 connector into the port on the bottom of the WAO 9122, making sure that its
tab clicks in place for a secure connection.
Seat the RJ45 connector correctly in the connector body.
Note the slotted track in the connector ring on the bottom of the AP and the matching
tabs inside the connector ring in the waterproof connector assembly, below. Screw the
assembly onto the WAP's connector ring so that they mate securely.
Snug all the sections of the assembly together a final time and tighten the sealing nut on
the end to 5kg but not more than 8kg torque force to insure a water tight fit.

Connect the Antenna
The WAO 9122 has four RP-TNC connectors for the antenna.
Both of the AP's Radio1 cables (Radio1 ANT1 and Radio1 ANT2) must be attached to antenna
leads for the same frequency band (for example, 2.4GHz), and Radio1 must be set to that band
on the WAP (see Step 11). Similarly, both Radio2 cables need to go to the same frequency band
on the antenna (for example, 5GHz). For simplicity, if you are using an antenna with two
2.4GHz leads and two 5GHz leads, we suggest that you connect Radio1 (ANT1 and ANT2) to
2.4GHz on the antenna, and connect Radio2 (ANT1 and ANT2) to 5GHz. Then you must
configure the WAP to correspond in Step 11: set Radio1 to the 2.4GHz band and Radio2 to the
5GHz band.
NOTE: To use a 3x3 MIMO antenna type with the WAO 9122, connect to the +45 and -45
antenna outputs. Do not use the connector marked “V”.
NOTE: For some MIMO omni-directional antennas where each of the individual
antennas is dual-band, it does not matter which lead is connected to which connector on
the WAP.

Zero-Touch Provisioning and Ongoing Management
Most customers employ the Wireless LAN Orchestration System (WOS) for the initial setup and
continuing management of Avaya devices. WOS users can readily set up their new devices for
zero-touch provisioning and ongoing maintenance via the following platforms. Wait five
minutes after powering up the WAP to automatically discover it, then use WOS via DNS (if a
DNS entry for Avaya-WOS is provisioned in the network) or perform manual discover from
WOS. Newly discovered WAPs are automatically assigned to the WOS “default” profile, and
will receive the configuration defined for that profile.
If you are not using WOS, please refer to Using the Avaya Wireless Orchestration System
(NN47252-103) to configure your WAP manually via the Express Setup menu option.
