Dell Networking W-IAP110 Series Instant Access Point
Installation Guide
The Dell Networking W-IAP110 Series (W-IAP114 and W-IAP115) wireless Instant
Access Point (IAP) supports the IEEE 802.11n standard for high-performance
WLAN. It uses MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-
throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5
GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless
services. The W-IAP110 Series Instant access point works only in conjunction with a
virtual controller.
The Dell W-IAP110 Series 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 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE

External Antenna Connectors
The W-IAP114 Instant access point is equipped with three external antenna
connectors. The connectors are labeled ANT0, ANT1, and ANT2, and correspond to
radio chains 0, 1, and 2.
USB Interface
The W-IAP110 Series Instant access point is equipped with a USB interface for
connectivity with cellular modems.
Figure 3 W-IAP110 Series Rear View
Console Port
The serial console port allows you to connect the W-IAP110 Series Instant access
point to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local management. This port is an RJ-
45 female connector with the pinouts described in Figure 4. Connect it directly to a
terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.
Figure 4 Serial Port Pin-Out
Ethernet Port
The W-IAP110 Series Instant access point is equipped with one 10/100/1000Base-T
(RJ-45) auto-sensing, MDI/MDX wired-network connectivity port. The port supports
IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at 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 connector with the pin-outs shown in
Figure 5.
Figure 5 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-IAP110 Series 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
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing the W-IAP110 Series Instant access point, ensure that you have the
following:
CAT5e or CAT6 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 midspan power source equipment (PSE) device
Dell AP AC-DC adapter kit (sold separately)
Summary of the Setup Process
Successful setup of a W-IAP110 Series Instant access point 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
Access Point Quick Start Guide.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
You can mount the W-IAP110 Series Instant access point on a wall or on the ceiling.
Use the AP placement map generated by the Dell RF 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
during the planning phase and adjusted in the 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-IAP110 Series 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 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 6).
3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see Figure 6).
Note: The W-IAP110 Series requires Dell Instant 4.0 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-
IAP110 Series access points so that only authorized network administrators can
change the settings. For more information about AP configuration, refer to the
Dell
Networking W-Series Instant Access Point Quick Start Guide and Dell Networking
W-Series Instant Access Point User Guide .
Caution: Access points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject
to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the
configuration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcast
regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments
appropriate to the location in which the 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 onto people or equipment.
