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
.

Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
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.
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

Proper Disposal of Dell Equipment
For the most current information about Global Environmental Compliance and Dell
products, see our website at
dell.com
.
Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Dell products at end of life are subject to separate collection and
treatment in the EU Member States, Norway, and Switzerland and
therefore are marked with the symbol shown at the left (crossed-out
wheelie bin). The treatment applied at end of life of these products
in these countries shall comply with the applicable national laws of
countries implementing Directive 2002/96EC on Waste of Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
European Union RoHS
Dell products also comply with the EU Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). EU
RoHS restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in the
manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment. Specifically, restricted materials
under the RoHS Directive are Lead (including Solder used in printed circuit
assemblies), Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, and Bromine. Some Dell
products are subject to the exemptions listed in RoHS Directive Annex 7 (Lead in
solder used in printed circuit assemblies). Products and packaging will be marked
with the “RoHS” label shown at the left indicating conformance to this Directive.
China RoHS
Dell products also comply with China environmental declaration
requirements and are labeled with the “EFUP 10” label shown at the
left.
Safety and Regulatory Compliance
Dell provides a multi-language document that contains country-specific restrictions
and additional safety and regulatory information for all Dell access points. This
document can be viewed or downloaded from

EMC Compliance and Warning Statement
IEC 60601-1-2: 2007
EN 60601-1-2: 2007
The W-AP105 has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the standard
for medical devices, IEC 60601-1-2:2007. The unit also complies with the
requirements of EN 60601-1-2:2007, providing the presumption of compliance to the
European Union’s Medical Device Directive 2007/47/EC. The limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy,
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions may
cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment causes interference with other devices, which may be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the device receiving the interference.
Increase the separation between the equipment.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the other device(s) are connected.
Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help.
The Model W-AP105 do not have an Applied Part as defined in IEC 60601-1. The
protection against electric shock is Class ll.
Device is not protected against ingress of liquids and has a protection class of IPX0 as
defined by IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60529. Equipment not suitable for use in the
presence of flammable mixtures.
The unit is considered “Continuous Operation” equipment as defined by IEC 60601-1.
Power Consumption – 48 VDC 802.3af power over Ethernet or 12VDC, 1.25A for
external AC supplied power (adapter sold separately); Maximum power consumption
– 12.5W.
Mechanical Dimensions: 132mm x 135mm x 45mm; 300g.
Environmental: Operating Temp: 0° C to +50° C (+32° F to +122° F); Humidity: 5
to 95% non-condensing. Storage Temp: -40° CS to +70° C (-40°F to +158°F).
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.

Caution: RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RF
radiation exposure limits. This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 13.78 inches (35 cm) between the radiator and your body for 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz operations. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. When operated in the 5.15 to 5.25
GHz frequency range, this device is restricted to indoor use to reduce the potential for
harmful interference with co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems.
