Chapter 3 Setting up a W-IAP This chapter describes the following procedures: l Setting up Instant Network on page 36 l Logging in to the Instant UI on page 38 l Accessing the Instant CLI on page 40 Setting up Instant Network Before installing a W-IAP: l Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable of the required length to connect a W-IAP to the home router. l Ensure that you have one of the following power sources: n IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The PoE source can be any power source equipment (PSE) switch or a midspan PSE device. n W-IAP power adapter kit. Perform the following procedures to set up the Instant network: 1. Connecting a W-IAP on page 36 2. Assigning an IP address to the W-IAP on page 36 3. Connecting to a Provisioning Wi-Fi Network on page 37 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 ENET 0 port of the W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE switch. l PoE midspan- Connect the ENET 0 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 ENET 0 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 6.4.3.1-4.2.0.0 | User Guide Setting up a W-IAP | 36

Chapter 3
Setting up a W-IAP
This chapter describes the following procedures:
l
Setting up Instant Network on page 36
l
Logging in to the Instant UI on page 38
l
Accessing the Instant CLI on page 40
Setting up Instant Network
Before installing a W-IAP:
l
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable of the required length to connect a W-IAP to the home router.
l
Ensure that you have one of the following power sources:
n
IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) source. The PoE source can be any power source
equipment (PSE) switch or a midspan PSE device.
n
W-IAP power adapter kit.
Perform the following procedures to set up the Instant network:
1.
Connecting a W-IAP on page 36
2.
Assigning an IP address to the W-IAP on page 36
3.
Connecting to a Provisioning Wi-Fi Network on page 37
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 ENET 0 port of the W-IAP to the appropriate port on the PoE switch.
l
PoE midspan— Connect the ENET 0 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 ENET 0 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.
