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

Contact your Dell sales representative for details and assistance. 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 Figure 2 shows the back panel of the W-7005 controller. Figure 1 Front Panel of the W-7005 Controller Figure 2 Back Panel of the W-7005 Controller 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: LED Function Mode LINK/ACT Link status N/A STATUS Port status Speed Indicator Status Green (Solid) Link has been established Green (Blinking) Port is transmitting or receiving data Off No link on port Green (Solid) 1000 Mbps Off 10/100 Mbps 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 Serial Console Port RJ-45 Female Pin-Out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Direction Input Output TxD GND GND RxD The communication settings for the Console port are shown in the following table: Baud Rate 9600 Data Bits 8 Parity None Stop Bits 1 Flow Control None 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. 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.

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.dellpcw.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. Note: If the W-7005 controller is powered from IEEE 802.3at PSE, then the USB port remains enabled. If the W-7005 controller is powered from IEEE 802.3af PSE, then the USB port is automatically disabled. 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 LED Power Function System powers Status System status Indicator Green (Solid) Amber (Solid) Off Green (Solid) Green (Blinking) Amber (Blinking) Amber (Solid) Off Status Powered from DC adapter Powered from PoE source Power Off Operational Device is loading software Major Alarm Critical Alarm No power 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. Figure 6 DC Cable Routing Slot Installing the W-7005 Controller Note: Service to all Dell Networking products should be performed by trained service personnel only. 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. Figure 7 Mounting Using the Integrated Wall-Mounting Slots 2. Align the mounting slots on the bottom of the controller over the screws and slide the unit into place. See Figure 8.
