Dell PowerConnect W-AP105 Installation Manual page 2

Connecting Required Cables
Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and
practices.
Ethernet Ports
The RJ45 Ethernet port (ENET) supports 10/100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/
MDX connections. Use these ports to connect the AP to a twisted pair Ethernet LAN
segment or directly to a Dell PowerConnect W Controller. Use a 4- or 8-conductor,
Category 5 UTP cable up to 100 m (325 feet) long.
The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is on the back of the AP. The port has an RJ-45
female connector with the pin-outs shown in Figure 5.

Serial Console Port
The serial console port (Console) allows you to connect the AP 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 6. Connect this port in one of the following ways:
Connect it directly to a terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.

Use a modular adapter to convert the RJ-45 (female) connector on the AP to a

DB-9 (male) connector, and connect the adapter to a laptop using an RS-232
cable. See Figure 7 for connector details of the adapter.

Power Connection
The W-AP100 Series has a single 12V DC power jack socket to support powering
through an AC-to-DC power adapter.
Note: If both POE and DC power are available, the AP uses POE even when there is
not enough POE voltage available to power the AP.
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The integrated LEDs on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving power
and initializing successfully (see Table 1). Refer to the Dell PowerConnect W-Series
ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for further details on verifying post-installation network
connectivity.

Configuring the W-AP100 Series
AP Provisioning/Reprovisioning
Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are
initially configured on the controller which are then pushed out to the AP and stored
on the AP itself. It is recommended that provisioning settings be configured via the
ArubaOS Web UI only. For more information, see the Dell PowerConnect W-Series
ArubaOS User Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
AP Configuration
Configuration parameters are network or controller specific and are configured and
stored on the controller. Network configuration settings are pushed out to the AP(s)
but remain stored on the controller.
Configuration settings can be configured via the ArubaOS Web UI or ArubaOS CLI.
For more information, see the Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS User Guide or
Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS Command Line Reference Guide at
support.dell.com/manuals.
