Alcatel-Lucent OAW-RAP3WN Installation Manual

OAW-RAP3WN Instant Access Point
Installation Guide
The Alcatel-Lucent OAW-RAP3WN and OAW-RAP3WNP are single-radio, single-
band wireless access points (AP) that support the IEEE 802.11n standard for
high-performance WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-
out) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-
performance, 802.11n 2.4 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting
existing 802.11 b/g wireless services.
The OAW-RAP3 ships with Alcatel-Lucent Instant software. Therefore, out of the
box, the OAW-RAP3 will operate as a Virtual Switch (VC) or an Instant AP.
However, the OAW-RAP3 can be converted to operate as a Remote AP (RAP).
For information about the IAP to RAP conversion, see RAP Conversion.
The OAW-RAP3 requires Alcatel-Lucent Instant 3.0 to operate as a Instant
AP and Alcatel-Lucent Instant 6.1.4.0 to operate as a Remote AP.

The 48V power adapter that ships with the OAW-RAP3WNP does not come
with a country specific power cord. This cord must be ordered separately.
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If
possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use
them to repack the product in case there is a need to return it.
Before You Begin
Before installing your OAW-RAP3 Remote Access Point, please ensure you have
the following:
OAW-RAP3 (included)

 1 x RJ-45 Ethernet Cable (included)
 1 x Power Adapter (included)

48V 0.75A
10/100Base-T Ethernet Ports
The OAW-RAP3 has three 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) Ethernet ports for wired
network connectivity.
 E0: WAN port (top)
 E1: LAN port (middle)
E2: LAN port (bottom)

On the OAW-RAP3WNP, port E2 has PoE power sourcing capability (PSE) to
supply power to any compliant 802.3af powered device (class 0-4).

DC IN (Power Socket)
The OAW-RAP3 power adapter (included) connects to the DC IN port. The
OAW-RAP3 does not have an On/Off switch. The device turns on when the power
adapter is attached and plugged into a power outlet. The device turns off when
you disconnect the power adapter from the power source (outlet).
The OAW-RAP3WN ships with a 12V power supply and the
OAW-RAP3WNP ships with a 48V power supply. These power supplies are
not interchangeable.

Reset Button
The OAW-RAP3 is equipped with reset button, that when pushed, resets the
device to factory default settings. The reset button is located on the bottom of
the device and is recessed in a small, round hole.
To reset the OAW-RAP3, insert a small, narrow object, such as a pin or paperclip,
into the hole and press and hold the button while powering on the OAW-RAP3.
This will return the device to factory default settings.
OAW-RAP3 Installation
Tabletop Mounting
The OAW-RAP3 is shipped with a stand to use on flat (i.e. table top) surfaces.
Place the OAW-RAP3 in the stand (see Figure 5) and place the stand on a flat,
level surface.
Figure 5 Stand Installation
Connecting the Required Cables
The OAW-RAP3 must be connected to a network device that has access to the
Internet, such as a router or modem. To complete the installation of the
OAW-RAP3:
1. Connect one end of the provided RJ-45 cable to port E0 on the OAW-RAP3.
2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a free RJ-45 port on your modem
or router.
3. Attach the provided power adapter to the DC IN port on the OAW-RAP3.
4. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a power outlet.
The OAW-RAP3 is now powered on. To verify this, ensure that the PWR LED is
solid green.
Verifying Successful Installation
Once the OAW-RAP3's PWR LED has come up, the device will take 2 to 3
minutes to complete the boot cycle. Once the boot cycle is complete, you can
connect to your company or corporate network.
