Regulatory Flyer for the W110

Before installing the W110 WLAN Access Point, you must go to the
Documentation CD-ROM to read the regulatory flyer. You must
install and use this product in strict accordance to the manufacturer's
instructions described in the Regulatory Flyer.

The regulatory flyer describes regulatory information, such as,
important safety information, restrictions, country-specific radio
approval information and installation requirements.

What You Will Need Prior to the Installation

The items below are required prior to starting the installation:

Installation and Configuration Procedure

The steps that follow describe how to complete the installation and basic
configuration of the W110.

Step 1: Connect the Ethernet Cable to the W110

The W110 has one LAN port on the rear panel which is used to connect
the standard Category 5 Ethernet cable from the W110 to a W310 port.

Step 2: Connect the Other End of Cable(s)

Directly connect the other end of the cable to one of the W310 Ethernet
ports.

Step 3: W110 LEDs

Once you connect both ends of the Ethernet cable and the W310 mobility
gateway is up and running, all front panel LEDs illuminate briefly.

The table below describes the function of each LED on the W310 front
panel.

Step 4: Mount the W110

Mount the W110 to one of the following:

— Ceiling
— Wall

You can also place the W110 on a desktop rather than mounting it to a
wall and ceiling.

Mounting the W110 to a ceiling:

CAUTION:

It is the your responsibility to use the proper hardware (screws/
mounting plate) for the installation, and, to mount the device in a
safe and secure manner and location for your environment.

a. Attach the mounting plate to the bottom of the W110 by lining up

the keyholes and snapping it into place.

b. Snap the tabs onto the ceiling T-bar. Rotate the W110 until it

snaps on to the T-bar.

Mounting the W110 to a Wall

CAUTION:

You must use the proper screws and mounting hardware that is
appropriate for the material to which you are attaching the
W110.

a. Put the mounting plate up to the wall.
b. Screw through the mounting plate.
c. Place the AP up against the mounting plate. Orient the AP

vertically (as shown below), with the LAN connector facing to
the right.

Step 5: Configure the W110 Through the W310

The W110 configuration is done through the W310 using the Command
Line Interface (CLI) or the W310 Device Manager (Web Interface).

NOTE:

It is recommended that you use the Quick Setup Guide for the
W310 Device Manager or Command Line Interface (CLI) for
installation and configuration instructions.

If you want to verify the W110 port parameters on the W310, you can use
the CLI. This CLI allows you to check if you have the correct version of
the W110 software image loaded.

a. If you have not done so already, open a CLI session for the

W310 that has the W110 connected to it.

b. Type show lap parameters at the prompt to display the

parameters for each W110 connected to a W310 port. In the
example shown below, port 1 does not have a W110 connected
to it while port 2 does.

.......

c. It is recommended that you go to the Quick Setup Guide or the

W310 Command Line Reference Guide before making any
changes to the W110 configuration using the CLI.

Troubleshooting

This section describes how to troubleshoot connection issues with the
W110. For configuration issues, see the W310 Installation and
Configuration User Guide.

Connectivity - No LED Activity on the W110

1. Check to see if the PoE LED for the port on the W310 is either

solid or flashing green. If it is not lit, check to see if the port is set
to deliver Power over Ethernet. Use the W310 CLI command
show powerinline to see if the port is set to receive power.
— If the port is receiving power, the Inline Operational Status

for the port will display as “Delivering Power”.

— If power is not enabled, then try the CLI command set

port powerinline 1/<port_number> enable to

enable power for the port. (where 1 is the module number,
<port_number> is the W310 port, and enable/disable is to
enable/disable power for the port.

— If it is set correctly, try a different port on the W310 – if it

works, there is probably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 port
connection.

2. Double check to see if all cables are connected to the W110

correctly.

3. Make sure you are using a standard Category 5 cable to power

the W110. The cable should have a length less than the
Ethernet standard of 100 meters (325 feet) from the Ethernet
port on the W310 to the W110 LAN port.

4. Try using a different Ethernet cable – if it works, there may be a

faulty connection on the cable.

5. Try to connect a different W110 to the same port on the W310 –

if it works and a link is established, there is probably a faulty
data link in the W110.

Connectivity - LED Activity But Users Cannot Access the

W310

Make sure you have configured the W110 with the proper Network
Name (SSID) and Security settings. This is done through the W310
using the W310 Device Manager or W310 CLI.

Range Antenna Installation

The Dual Band REA is a dual band indoor antenna that works with both
2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) and 5 GHz (802.11a) radios. You can optionally
install up to two Dual Band Range Extender Antennas on the W110.

Perform the following procedures to mount the Dual Band REA to a wall
or ceiling and to install it on the W110:

Dual Band REA Wall Mount Installation

Perform the following steps to wall mount the Dual Band REA.

1. Detach the Antenna Body from the Main Base.
2. Press the Base Top upward to release it from the Main Base.

3. Use a metal plate or a coin to push the tenon between the

Antenna body and the Base Top to remove the Base Top.

4. Screw the Base Top to the wall.
5. Attach the Antenna Body to the Base Top.

Dual Band REA Ceiling Installation Without a T-Bar

Perform the following step to mount the Dual Band REA to a normal
ceiling:

1. Screw the antenna directly to the ceiling through the hole on the

Base; use the anchor if necessary.

Dual Band REA Ceiling Installation Using the T-Bar

Perform the following steps to mount the Dual Band REA to a T-bar
ceiling:

1. Detach the Antenna Body from the Main Base.
2. Remove the Metal Plate.
3. Turn over the Bottom Plate and reinstall it on the Main Base.
4. Attach the antenna to the T-Bar and adjust/swivel it to lock on

the T-Bar.

Attach the antenna(s) to the W110.

Perform the following steps to attach a Dual Band REA to the W110:

CAUTION:

Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when connecting
the Dual Band REA to the W110.

1. Press down near the center of the compartment covering and

slide open the External Antenna Access compartment on the
W110.
The compartment closer to the LED panel contains the
connectors for the 802.11 a/b/g radio.

2. When connecting the first REA cable, attach the cable to the

outer connector in the compartment (connector 1).

NOTE:

There are two antenna connectors in the W110, 1 and 2 (see the
illustration that follows). Connectors 1 and 2 are for the 802.11a/b/g
radios. Connector 1 is labeled on the hardware. When connecting
one REA, use connector 1, as appropriate. The second REA for a
radio should be connected to connector 2.

3. If installing a second REA, connect the cable to connector 2

(802.11a/b/g radio).

4. Close the External Antenna Access compartments.

Wireless Communication Range

The range of the wireless signal is related to the composition of objects in
the radio wave path and the transmit rate of the wireless communication.
Communications at a lower transmit range may travel longer distances.
These values are provided as a guide of relative ranges by data rates
only and should ot be considered as an absolute value of performance.

The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas
are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. Range is
also impacted due to “obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may
either absorb or reflect the radio signal.

— In Open Office environments, antennas can “see” each other

(no physical obstructions between them).

— In Semi-open Office environments, workspace is divided by

shoulder-height, hollow wall elements; antennas are at desktop
level.

— In a Closed Office environment, solid walls and other

obstructions may affect signal strength.

The following tables show typical range values for various environments
for FCC-certified products (range may differ for products certified in other
regulatory domains).
