Dell W-Series 205H W-IAP205H Access Point Installation Guide - Page 2

Identifying Specific Installation Locations The W-IAP205H access point must be installed onto a Dell approved wall or desk mount kit (sold separately). Additional The AP should be oriented vertically, with Ethernet ports facing downward to facilitate maximum antenna gain. Use the AP placement map generated by the Dell Visual RF Plan software application to determine the proper installation location(s). Each location should be as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area and should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/ interference sources will impact RF propagation and should be accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted for in the Visual RF plan. Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference Sources Identifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in the field during the installation phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are taken into consideration when you attach an AP to its fixed location. RF absorbers include:  Cement/concrete-Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries out the concrete, allowing for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking RF signals.  Natural Items-Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees  Brick RF reflectors include:  Metal Objects-Metal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/ heating ducts, mesh windows, blinds, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing cabinets.  Do not place an AP between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that APs are placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances. RF interference sources include:  Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)  Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms Installing the AP The W-IAP205H is designed to mount into a variety of electrical gang boxes. 1. Remove the existing data wall plate (if applicable). 2. Remove any existing RJ-45 connectors (typically snap-in) or cut/remove the UTP cable. Figure 5 Removing Wall Plate (US Single Gang Outlet Box Shown) Figure 7 Bracket to Gang Box (Worldwide Single Gang Outlet Box Shown) 6. Connect cables to the back of the AP. 7. Align the mounting slots on the back of the AP with the corresponding mounting posts on the wall mount as shown in Figure 8. 8. Push the AP against the posts and downward until the posts engage the slots at the top of the slots. Figure 8 Attaching AP to Wall Mount 3. Use a short Ethernet cable (sold separately) to connect the E0 port to an RJ-45 connector or crimp an RJ-45 plug (not supplied) on the cable and insert in the E0 port. Do the same for the PT port, if used. 4. Align the mounting holes of the W-IAP205H mounting bracket with mounting holes in the gang box, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7. For worldwide single gang outlet box, the mounting bracket has two sets of mounting holes to meet the individual installation position requirement. See Figure 7 for details. The applicable standards for the wall boxes are:  IEC 60670-1, GB17466, BS4662 and DIN49073 for Worldwide  ANSI/NEMA OS 1 and OS 2 for US 5. Insert the two included machine screws and tighten them to secure the mounting bracket. Figure 6 Bracket to Gang Box (US Single Gang Outlet Box Shown) 9. Once the AP is fastened onto the wall mount, insert the T8H Torx security screw into the hole located on the upper-right edge of the wall mount and tighten. 10. If not using PoE, connect the AC-to-DC power adapter (AP-AC-48V36 sold separately) to the DC power socket located on the side of the AP.
