Dell PowerConnect W-AP120 Series AP Installation Guide Installation Guide The Dell W-AP120 series of wireless access points support the imminent IEEE 802.11n (currently draft 2.0) standard for high-performance WLAN. These access points use MIMO (Multiple-in, Multiple-out) technology and other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance, pre-802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The W-AP120 series access points are available in versions with single or dual radios and with integrated antennas or RP-SMA interfaces that support detachable antennas. The W-AP120 series access points work only in conjunction with an Dell controller.

functionality while simultaneously supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The W-AP120 series access
points are available in versions with single or dual radios and with integrated antennas or RP-SMA interfaces that
support detachable antennas. The W-AP120 series access points work only in conjunction with an Dell controller.
The Dell W-AP120 series access points provide the following capabilities:
z
Wireless transceiver
z
Protocol-independent networking functionality
z
IEEE 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n operation as a wireless access point
z
IEEE 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n operation as a wireless air monitor
z
Compatibility with IEEE 802.3af PoE as well as high power over Ethernet pre-standards
(PoE + / 802.3at)
z
Central management configuration and upgrades through an Dell controller
z
