Regulatory Flyer for the W110
Before installing the W110 WLAN Access Point, you must go to the 
Documentation CD-ROM to read the regulatory flyer. You must 
install and use this product in strict accordance to the manufacturer's 
instructions described in the Regulatory Flyer.
The regulatory flyer describes regulatory information, such as, 
important safety information, restrictions, country-specific radio 
approval information and installation requirements.
What You Will Need Prior to the Installation
The items below are required prior to starting the installation:
Installation and Configuration Procedure
The steps that follow describe how to complete the installation and basic 
configuration of the W110.
Step 1: Connect the Ethernet Cable to the W110
The W110 has one LAN port on the rear panel which is used to connect 
the standard Category 5 Ethernet cable from the W110 to a W310 port.
Step 2: Connect the Other End of Cable(s)
Directly connect the other end of the cable to one of the W310 Ethernet 
ports.
Step 3: W110 LEDs
Once you connect both ends of the Ethernet cable and the W310 mobility 
gateway is up and running, all front panel LEDs illuminate briefly. 
The table below describes the function of each LED on the W310 front 
panel.
Step 4: Mount the W110
Mount the W110 to one of the following:
— Ceiling
— Wall
You can also place the W110 on a desktop rather than mounting it to a 
wall and ceiling.
Mounting the W110 to a ceiling:
!
CAUTION:
It is the your responsibility to use the proper hardware (screws/
mounting plate) for the installation, and, to mount the device in a 
safe and secure manner and location for your environment.
a. Attach the mounting plate to the bottom of the W110 by lining up 
the keyholes and snapping it into place.
b. Snap the tabs onto the ceiling T-bar. Rotate the W110 until it 
snaps on to the T-bar.
Mounting the W110 to a Wall
!
CAUTION:
You must use the proper screws and mounting hardware that is 
appropriate for the material to which you are attaching the 
W110.
a. Put the mounting plate up to the wall.
b. Screw through the mounting plate.
c. Place the AP up against the mounting plate. Orient the AP 
vertically (as shown below), with the LAN connector facing to 
the right.
Step 5: Configure the W110 Through the W310
The W110 configuration is done through the W310 using the Command 
Line Interface (CLI) or the W310 Device Manager (Web Interface). 
NOTE:
It is recommended that you use the Quick Setup Guide for the 
W310 Device Manager or Command Line Interface (CLI) for 
installation and configuration instructions. 
If you want to verify the W110 port parameters on the W310, you can use 
the CLI. This CLI allows you to check if you have the correct version of 
the W110 software image loaded. 
a. If you have not done so already, open a CLI session for the 
W310 that has the W110 connected to it. 
b. Type show lap parameters at the prompt to display the 
parameters for each W110 connected to a W310 port.  In the 
example shown below, port 1 does not have a W110 connected 
to it while port 2 does.

c. It is recommended that you go to the Quick Setup Guide or the 
W310 Command Line Reference Guide before making any 
changes to the W110 configuration using the CLI.
Troubleshooting
This section describes how to troubleshoot connection issues with the 
W110. For configuration issues, see the W310 Installation and 
Configuration User Guide
.
Connectivity - No LED Activity on the W110
1. Check to see if the PoE LED for the port on the W310 is either 
solid or flashing green. If it is not lit, check to see if the port is set 
to deliver Power over Ethernet. Use the W310 CLI command 
show powerinline to see if the port is set to receive power.
— If the port is receiving power, the Inline Operational Status 
for the port will display as “Delivering Power”. 
— If power is not enabled, then try the CLI command set 
port powerinline 1/<port_number> enable to 
enable power for the port. (where is the module number, 
<port_number> is the W310 port, and enable/disable is to 
enable/disable power for the port.
— If it is set correctly, try a different port on the W310 – if it 
works, there is probably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 port 
connection.
2. Double check to see if all cables are connected to the W110 
correctly.
3. Make sure you are using a standard Category 5 cable to power 
the W110. The cable should have a length less than the 
Ethernet standard of 100 meters (325 feet) from the Ethernet 
port on the W310 to the W110 LAN port.
4. Try using a different Ethernet cable – if it works, there may be a 
faulty connection on the cable.
5. Try to connect a different W110 to the same port on the W310 – 
if it works and a link is established, there is probably a faulty 
data link in the W110.
Connectivity - LED Activity But Users Cannot Access the 
W310
Make sure you have configured the W110 with the proper Network 
Name (SSID) and Security settings. This is done through the W310 
using the W310 Device Manager or W310 CLI.
Range Antenna Installation
The Dual Band REA is a dual band indoor antenna that works with both 
2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) and 5 GHz (802.11a) radios. You can optionally 
install up to two Dual Band Range Extender Antennas on the W110. 
Perform the following procedures to mount the Dual Band REA to a wall 
or ceiling and to install it on the W110:
Dual Band REA Wall Mount Installation
Perform the following steps to wall mount the Dual Band REA.
1. Detach the Antenna Body from the Main Base. 
2. Press the Base Top upward to release it from the Main Base. 
3. Use a metal plate or a coin to push the tenon between the 
Antenna body and the Base Top to remove the Base Top.
4. Screw the Base Top to the wall.
5. Attach the Antenna Body to the Base Top. 
Dual Band REA Ceiling Installation Without a T-Bar
Perform the following step to mount the Dual Band REA to a normal 
ceiling:
1. Screw the antenna directly to the ceiling through the hole on the 
Base; use the anchor if necessary.
Dual Band REA Ceiling Installation Using the T-Bar
Perform the following steps to mount the Dual Band REA to a T-bar 
ceiling:
1. Detach the Antenna Body from the Main Base.
2. Remove the Metal Plate.
3. Turn over the Bottom Plate and reinstall it on the Main Base. 
4. Attach the antenna to the T-Bar and adjust/swivel it to lock on 
the T-Bar.
Attach the antenna(s) to the W110. 
Perform the following steps to attach a Dual Band REA to the W110:
!
CAUTION:
Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when connecting 
the Dual Band REA to the W110.
1. Press down near the center of the compartment covering and 
slide open the External Antenna Access compartment on the 
W110. 
The compartment closer to the LED panel contains the 
connectors for the 802.11 a/b/g radio.
2. When connecting the first REA cable, attach the cable to the 
outer connector in the compartment (connector 1).
NOTE:
There are two antenna connectors in the W110, 1 and 2 (see the 
illustration that follows). Connectors 1 and 2 are for the 802.11a/b/g 
radios. Connector 1 is labeled on the hardware. When connecting 
one REA, use connector 1, as appropriate. The second REA for a 
radio should be connected to connector 2.
3. If installing a second REA, connect the cable to connector 2 
(802.11a/b/g radio).
4. Close the External Antenna Access compartments.

Wireless Communication Range
The range of the wireless signal is related to the composition of objects in 
the radio wave path and the transmit rate of the wireless communication. 
Communications at a lower transmit range may travel longer distances. 
These values are provided as a guide of relative ranges by data rates 
only and should ot be considered as an absolute value of performance.
The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas 
are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. Range is 
also impacted due to “obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may 
either absorb or reflect the radio signal. 
— In Open Office environments, antennas can “see” each other 
(no physical obstructions between them). 
— In Semi-open Office environments, workspace is divided by 
shoulder-height, hollow wall elements; antennas are at desktop 
level. 
— In a Closed Office environment, solid walls and other 
obstructions may affect signal strength.
The following tables show typical range values for various environments 
for FCC-certified products (range may differ for products certified in other 
regulatory domains).
