Dell PowerConnect W-Series Instant Access Point Quick Start Guide This Quick Start Guide will assist you to quickly connect and configure Dell PowerConnect W-Series Instant Access Point (IAP). To learn more about Dell PowerConnect W-Series Instant Access Points and for detailed configuration information, see the Dell PowerConnect W-Series Instant Access Point 6.1.2.32.0.0.0 User Guide at support.dell.com/manuals. Getting Started 1. Get an IP address-You will require an IP address to connect to a network. To get an IP address from a DHCP server in your network: a. Connect the IAP to an intermediate gateway router or switch that has connectivity to the DHCP server. Note: Use the Enet0 port on W-IAP134/135 for uplink connections to a switch or router. The Enet1 port does not provide wired connectivity. b. Power on the IAP. The IAP receives an IP address provided by the switch or router. Power the IAP either by plugging to an Ethernet cable coming from a 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or device, or by connecting it to an AC adapter. 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. 2.
