Connecting a W-IAP on page 16 2. Assigning an IP address to the W-IAP on page 16 Connecting a W-IAP Based on the type of the power source used, perform one of the following steps to connect a W-IAP to the power source: l PoE switch-Connect the Ethernet 0 (Enet0) port of the W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE switch. l PoE midspan-Connect the Enet0 port of the W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE midspan. l AC to DC power adapter-Connect the 12V DC power jack socket to the AC to DC power adapter. W-IAP155P supports PSE for 802.3at-powered device (class 0-4) on one port (E1 or E2), or 802.3af-powered DC IN (Power Socket) on two ports (E1 and E2). Assigning an IP address to the W-IAP The W-IAP needs an IP address for network connectivity. When you connect a W-IAP to a network, it receives an IP address from a DHCP server. To obtain an IP address for a W-IAP: 1. Ensure that the DHCP service is enabled on the network. 2. Connect the Enet0 port of W-IAP to a switch or router using an Ethernet cable. 3. Connect the W-IAP to a power source. The W-IAP receives an IP address provided by the switch or router. If there is no DHCP service on the network, the W-IAP can be assigned a static IP address. If a static IP is not assigned, the W-IAP obtains an IP automatically within the 169.254 subnet. Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide Setting up a W-IAP | 16
