Dell Networking W-IAP103 Instant Access Point
Installation Guide
The Dell Networking W-IAP103 Instant access point (IAP) supports the IEEE
802.11n standard for high-performance WLAN. The access point uses MIMO
(Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology and other high-throughput mode
techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz functionality
while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The
W-IAP103 Instant access point works only in conjunction with a virtual controller.
The W-IAP103 Instant access point provides the following capabilities:
Wireless transceiver
Protocol-independent networking functionality
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless access point
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n operation as a wireless air monitor
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE

W-IAP103 Hardware Overview
Figure 1 W-IAP103 LEDs
LEDs
The W-IAP103 Instant access point is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the
status of the various components of the IAP.
PWR: Indicates whether or not the IAP is powered-on
ENET: Indicates the status of the IAP’s Ethernet port
5 GHz: Indicates the status of the 802.11a/n radio
2.4 GHz: Indicates the status of the 802.11b/g/n radio
Figure 2 W-IAP103 Rear View
Console Port
The serial console port allows you to connect the IAP to a serial terminal or a laptop
for direct local management. This port is a 4-pin connector covered by a dust cover.
An optional serial adapter cable (AP-CBL-SER) is available for use with the
W-IAP103 Instant access point and is sold separately.
Ethernet Port
The W-IAP103 Instant access point is equipped with one 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45)
auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. This port supports IEEE
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliance, accepting 48 VDC (nominal) as a
standard defined Powered Device (PD) from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)
such as a PoE midspan injector, or network infrastructure that supports PoE.
The port has RJ-45 female connectors with the pin-outs shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
DC Power Socket
If PoE is not available, an optional Dell AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately) can
be used to power the W-IAP103 Instant access point.
Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC source) can be used to
power this device, as long as it complies with all applicable local regulatory
requirements and the DC interface meets the following specifications:
12 VDC (+/- 5%)/18W
Center-positive 1.7/4.0 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm length
Reset Button
The reset button can be used to return the IAP to factory default settings. To reset
the IAP:
1. Power off the IAP.
2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.
3. Power-on the IAP without releasing the reset button. The power LED will flash
within 5 seconds.
4. Release the reset button.
The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is
completed. The IAP will now continue to boot with the factory default settings.
Before You Begin
IAP Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing the IAP, ensure that you have the following:
CAT5e or better UTP cable of required length
One of the following power sources:
802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The POE source can be
any midspan power source equipment (PSE) device
Dell AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
Summary of the Setup Process
Successful setup of the IAP consists of four tasks, which must be performed in this
order:
1. Identify the specific installation location for each IAP.
2. Install each IAP.
3. Verify post-installation connectivity.
4. Configure the virtual controller. Refer to the Dell Networking W-Series Instant
Quick Start Guide.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the W-IAP103 Instant access point on a wall or on the ceiling. Use
the IAP placement map generated by Dell VisualRF Plan software tool 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 in RF 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 IAP 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
Installing the IAP
Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter
The W-IAP103 Instant access point ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and
15/16” ceiling rails. Additional wall mount adapters and ceiling rail adapters for other
rail styles are available as accessory kits.
1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where
the IAP will be placed.
2. Place the adapter against the back of the IAP at an angle of approximately 30
degrees to the tabs (see Figure 4).
3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 4).
Figure 4 Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter
4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the IAP.
5. Hold the IAP next to the ceiling tile rail at approximately a 30-degree angle to the
ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling
tile.
6. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the IAP clockwise until the device clicks
into place on the ceiling tile rail.
Figure 5 Mounting the IAP
Note: W-IAP103 Instant access point requires Dell Instant 4.1 or later.
Note: 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.

Note: Dell, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the
W-IAP103 Instant access point so that only authorized network administrators can
change the settings. For configuration information, refer to the
Dell Networking W-
Series Instant Quick Start Guide and Dell Networking W-Series Instant User Guide .
Caution: Instant access points are radio transmission devices and as such are
subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the
configuration and operation of Instant access points must comply with local
broadcast regulations. Specifically, Instant access points must use channel
assignments appropriate to the location in which the Instant access point will be
used.
Note: Service to all Dell Networking products should be performed by trained
service personnel only.
Caution: Make sure the IAP fits securely on the ceiling tile rail when
hanging the device from the ceiling, because poor installation could cause
it to fall on people or equipment.
