"Specifying the Country Code" on page 20 Skip this step, if you are installing the W-IAP in United States, Japan or Israel. Connecting the W-IAP to a Power Source Based on the type of the power source that is used, perform one of the following steps to connect the W-IAP to the power source:  PoE switch - Connect the ENET port of the W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE switch.  PoE midspan - Connect the ENET port of W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE midspan.  AC to DC power adapter - Connect the 12V DC power jack socket to the AC to DC power adapter. Assigning an IP Address to the W-IAP The W-IAP needs an IP address for network connectivity. When you connect the W-IAP to a network, the WIAP receives an IP address from a DHCP server. To get an IP address for an W-IAP, perform the following steps: 1. Connect the ENET port of W-IAP to a switch or router using an Ethernet cable. Ensure that the DHCP service is enabled on the network. 2. Connect the W-IAP to a power source. The W-IAP will receive an IP address provided by the switch or router. NOTE: After the IAP starts up, it will try to do DHCP if static IP configuration is not available. If DHCP times out, a default IP within 169.254.x.y/16 subnet will be configured on the IAP. The DHCP client will be still running so that when the DHCP service recovers the IAP will get a valid IP address and then reboots. Connecting to the Provisioning Wi-Fi network Connect a wireless enabled client to the provisioning Wi-Fi network. The provisioning network name is instant.  In the Microsoft Windows operating system, click the wireless network connection icon in the system tray. The Wireless Network Connection box appears. Click on the instant network and click Connect.  In the MAC operating system, click the AirPort icon. A list of available Wi-Fi networks is displayed. Click on the instant network. NOTE: While connecting to the provisioning Wi-Fi network, ensure that the client is not connected to any wired network. 18 | Initial Configuration Dell PowerConnect W-Instant Access Point 5.0.3.0-1.1.0.0 | User Guide

Skip this step, if you are installing the W-IAP in United States,
Japan or Israel.
Connecting the W-IAP to a Power Source
Based on the type of the power source that is used, perform one of the following steps to connect the W-IAP to
the power source:
PoE switch - Connect the ENET port of the W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE switch.
PoE midspan - Connect the ENET port of W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE midspan.
AC to DC power adapter - Connect the 12V DC power jack socket to the AC to DC power adapter.
Assigning an IP Address to the W-IAP
The W-IAP needs an IP address for network connectivity. When you connect the W-IAP to a network, the W-
IAP receives an IP address from a DHCP server. To get an IP address for an W-IAP, perform the following steps:
1.
Connect the ENET port of W-IAP to a switch or router using an Ethernet cable. Ensure that the DHCP
service is enabled on the network.
2.
Connect the W-IAP to a power source. The W-IAP will receive an IP address provided by the switch or router.
Connecting to the Provisioning Wi-Fi network
Connect a wireless enabled client to the provisioning Wi-Fi network. The provisioning network name is
instant.
In the Microsoft Windows operating system, click the wireless network connection icon in the system tray.
The
Wireless Network Connection
box appears. Click on the
instant
network and click
Connect.
In the MAC operating system, click the AirPort icon. A list of available Wi-Fi networks is displayed. Click on
the
instant
network.
NOTE:
After the IAP starts up, it will try to do DHCP if static IP configuration is not available. If DHCP times out, a default IP within
169.254.x.y/16 subnet will be configured on the IAP. The DHCP client will be still running so that when the DHCP service recovers
the IAP will get a valid IP address and then reboots.
NOTE:
While connecting to the provisioning Wi-Fi network, ensure that the client is not connected to any wired network.
