Dell PowerConnect W-AP93H User manual

Dell PowerConnect W-AP93H
Access Point
The multifunction Dell™PowerConnect™AP-93H is an indoor 802.11n access point (AP) with four
Ethernet ports designed for deployments in oces, hospitals, schools and retail stores. This compact,
high-speed AP delivers wire-like performance at data rates up to 300 Mbps and attaches directly to
electrical or network wall junction boxes.
The Dell PowerConnect W-AP93H features a
2x2 MIMO dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz radio with
integrated antennas and 4-port Ethernet switch,
providing both wired and wireless access to the
enterprise network. The AP is built to provide years
of trouble-free operation and is backed by Dell’s
extended lifetime warranty.
Working with Dell PowerConnect W-Series line of
centralized Mobility Controllers, the W-AP93H deliver
secure, high-speed network services for both wireless
and wired devices.
802.11n enables the use of wireless as a primary
connection with speed and reliability comparable
to a wired LAN. It also increases performance
by utilizing techniques such as channel bonding,
block acknowledgement and MIMO radios.
Advanced antenna technology also increases
range and reliability.
The key to ensuring wire-like performance and
reliability is Dell PowerConnect W-series unique
Adaptive Radio Management and spectrum analysis
capabilities, which manage both the 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz radio bands to deliver maximum client
performance while mitigating any RF interference.
The multifunction W-AP93H can be configured
through the Mobility Controller to provide WLAN
access with part-time air monitoring, dedicated air
monitoring for wireless IPS and spectrum analysis,
Remote AP (RAP) functionality or secure enterprise
mesh. The W-AP93H features a 10/100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet “uplink” interface and can operate from
standard 802.3af power- over-Ethernet (PoE) sources
or a 12-volt DC power supply.
In addition, the W-AP93H oers four 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet “downlink” interfaces to securely attach
wired devices.
