Intermec’s MobileLAN™access family of access points delivers reliable and seamless wireless
performance to almost any operational environment. The MobileLAN access WA22 is
powered by power over Ethernet to make installation easier. It is designed for standards-
based connectivity and it may have up to two of the following radios installed:
•IEEE 802.11a
•IEEE 802.11b
•IEEE 802.11b/g
The WA22 with an IEEE 802.11b radio installed is Wi-Fi certified for
interoperability with other 802.11b wireless LAN devices.
This quick start guide helps you to understand the WA22 ports and LEDs. You can also use
this quick start guide to get an overview of how to install the WA22, how to connect the
WA22 to power and to your network, and how to use the MobileLAN access Utility to
configure its IP address. Once you assign the WA22 an IP address, you can continue
configuring it using a web browser interface or a telnet session.
For complete instructions on how to install, operate, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot
your WA22, see the MobileLAN access System Manual (P/N 067150). Please visit the Intermec
web site at www.intermec.com to download this manual and other current manuals in PDF
format. Or, you can order printed documentation from your local Intermec representative.

1Mounting the WA22
Attach antennas to the WA22. Intermec offers a variety of antennas and antenna
accessories. For a complete list, see the MobileLAN access System Manual.
Connect the WA22 to your network. You can either use an Ethernet cable to
connect the Ethernet port to an Ethernet drop, or you can use the fiber optic port
option. For help connecting the WA22 to your fiber optic network, see “Connecting
to Your Fiber Optic Network” in the MobileLAN access System Manual.
To power the WA22, use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port to a
MobileLAN power bridge, a Cisco power bridge, or another 802.3af-compliant
power bridge. For help, see the documentation that shipped with your power
bridge.
