If an item is missing or damaged, contact Avaya.
The following cabling section applies to the AP 8120 and AP 8120 with External Antenna only. The AP 8120 series access points have one RJ-45 port. This port provides a 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ethernet connection to a Wireless Controller 8180. This port is used to indirectly connect an access point to a WC 8180 through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
Avaya recommends using only a certified outdoor UTP cable such as the Cat5E. The AP 8120-O access point has one RJ-45 port that provides a 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ethernet connection that is used to indirectly connect the access point to an Avaya WC 8180 Avaya WLAN 8100 Installation – AP 8120 Series...
Avaya strongly recommends that you use an outdoor CAT-5E Ethernet cable for all external connections. The AP 8120-O supports 802.3at (also known as PoE+). Avaya recommends that you use an Avaya-provided PoE power injector when operating the AP 8120-O. The access point receives power and data through the RJ-45 port.

PIN 8– Solid brown Management software If you are using the WLAN Management Software (WMS) to plan your Avaya Mobility System installation, you can create and verify a network plan for the entire Avaya network installation and generate an AP work order, before installing any access points.
Avaya recommends that you use outdoor CAT5E Ethernet cable for all external connections. Antenna Caution: Only use the provided Avaya-approved antennas with the WLAN AP 8120-O. A WLAN AP 8120-O that is outfitted with non-certified Avaya antennas is not supported under Avaya support agreements. Wireless Controller 8180 recommendation Avaya recommends that you install and configure the Wireless Controller 8180 before installing an AP.
Avaya approved 802.3af power injector. The AP 8120-O requires an 802.3at- 802.3af-compliant source or an Avaya approved 802.3at power injector. Connecting an AP to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that is not approved by Avaya can damage the equipment.
Powerline Warning: Avaya warns that failure to comply with power and safety instructions could cause harm to persons and equipment. Ensure that the following precautions are implemented: Warning: Coming in contact with power lines can be lethal.
Page 34
The AP 8120-O is equipped with internal surge protectors for its four antennas and its Ethernet port. Before operating the unit, you must ensure to properly ground the AP 8120-O. The Avaya- provided series indoor Ethernet surge arrester (lightning protector) provides high-level protection for the Ethernet and/or Power over Ethernet (POE) equipment located inside the building.
Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the local codes, national codes, and safety directors of the location for usage constraints. Caution: The Avaya WLAN AP 8120-O radios are disabled by default and can be enabled only by a system administrator. Voltage: Danger —...
