Dell W-7005 Controller Installation Guide

Dell Networking W-7005 Controller

Installation Guide

The Dell Networking W-7005 Controller is a wireless LAN controller that connects,

controls, and intelligently integrates wireless Access Points (APs) and Air Monitors

(AMs) into a wired LAN system. The W-7005 controller includes four ethernet ports,

one Console port, one Mini-USB console port, and one USB port. This device

supports up to 16 APs and 1024 users.

W-7005 Components

This section introduces the different components and their location in the W-7005

controller.

Figure 1

shows the front panel of the W-7005 controller and

Ethernet Ports

The W-7005 controller is equipped with four 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet

ports (0 to 3). Gigabit Ethernet uses all eight wires and each pair is bi-directional,

which means, the same pair is used for both data transmission and data reception.

Figure 3

illustrates the Gigabit Ethernet port pin-out for an RJ-45 connector. The

pins paired on a 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port are: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8.

Ethernet Port LEDs

Each 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port is equipped with two LEDs that allow basic

monitoring of link/port status and activity.



LINK/ACT

: Placed on the left side of the port, this LED displays the link status

and activity of the port.



STATUS

: Placed on the right side of the port, this LED displays the status of the

port based on the CLI.

The following table describes the LED behavior for each mode:

Console Port

The serial console port allows connecting the controller to a serial terminal or a

laptop for direct local management. This port is an RJ-45 female connector with

pinouts described in

Figure 4

. Connect it directly to a terminal or terminal server

using an Ethernet cable.

Figure 4

Serial Console Port Pin-Out

The communication settings for the Console port are shown in the following table:

Serial Console Port Adaptor

A modular adaptor can be used to convert the female RJ-45 connector to a male DB9

connector. See

Figure 5

for complete details.

RJ-45 (Female) to DB9 (Male) Modular Adapter Conversion

Mini-USB Console Connector

The W-7005 controller is equipped with one Mini-USB (type B) connector that

provides console access for direct local access. If both Mini-USB and RJ-45 Console

ports are connected, the Mini-USB connection takes precedence over the RJ-45

Console connection.

Mini-USB Driver

To use the Mini-USB console port, install the Dell Mini-USB driver on the computer

that will manage the W-7005 controller. The driver is available on

download.dell-

pcw.com

under Tools & Resources.

USB Interface

The W-7005 controller is equipped with one USB 2.0 interface. A USB storage device

can be used to save and upload configurations to the controller.

Power and Status LEDs

The front panel also includes power and status LEDs that provide basic monitoring

of the overall status of the W-7005 controller

Kensington Security Slot

The W-7005 controller is equipped with a Kensington security slot for additional

security.

DC Power Socket

The AC-DC adapter kit with the following specification is used to power the W-7005

controller:



12V/ 2A power interface



Center-positive 1.7/4.0 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm length

Make sure to securely route the DC cable through the slot provided. See

Figure 6

.

Installation Recommendations



For proper air circulation, leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance for the vents

on the left, right, front, and rear side of the controller.



Leave additional space in front and rear side of the controller to access power

cords, network cables, and indicator LEDs.



Avoid placing anything that covers the vents on top of the controller. Covering

the vents can lead to overheating of the controller.



Avoid placing this controller on any other device because the heat dissipated from

the other device may overheat the controller.

Installation Using the Integrated Wall-Mounting Slots

The keyhole-shaped slots on the bottom of the controller can be used to attach the

device upright (front port facing downwards) to an indoor wall or shelf.

Since the ports are on the front of the device, make sure to mount the controller in

such a way that there is a clear path to the Ethernet port, such as a pre-drilled hole in

the mounting surface.

1.

At the mounting location, install two screws on the wall or shelf, 120 mm apart. If

you are attaching the device to drywall, it is recommended that you use

appropriate wall anchors (not included). See

Figure 7

.

2.

Align the mounting slots on the bottom of the controller over the screws and slide

the unit into place. See

Figure 8

.

Note:

The W-7005 controller requires Dell Networking W-Series AOS 6.4.1.0 or later.

Note:

Optional accessories are available for use with the W-7005 controller and are

sold separately. Contact your Dell sales representative for details and assistance.

Note:

In the W-7005 controller, the orange numbering on port 0 indicates that it is a

PoE powered device (PoE-PD) port and the gray numbering on ports 1, 2, and 3

indicate that they are non-PoE ports.

Caution:

The CONSOLE port is compatible only with RS-232 devices. Non-RS-232

devices, such as APs, are not supported.

Caution:

Do not connect the Console port to an Ethernet switch or a PoE power

source. This may damage the controller.
