The AP 300 Access Port provides two placement options: wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots fit onto two screws provided. Arrows on the case guide placement of the screws. Clips on the back of the case fit onto a suspended ceiling T-bar.The AP 300 Access Port receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 cable. There is no additional power supply required.Technical SpecificationsDimensions & WeightRadio CharacteristicsThe AP 300 Access Port is an IEEE 802.11-compliant device containing one 802.11a radio and one 802.11b/g radio. The following table lists radio characteristics for each radio’s compliance. The three supported 802.11g modes are simultaneous CCK and ODFM. CCK only, or ODFM only.AP 300 Access Port Package Contents• AP 300 Access Port• Two screws• Two wall anchors• Quick Installation GuideDescriptionThe AP 300 Access Port is an IEEE 802.11-compliant device containing one 802.11a radio and one 802.11b/g radio. The unit contains internal 2.4-2.5GHz and 4.9-5.285GHz antennas and supports UNII band 1, and it requires power from any UL-listed, 802.3af-compatible Power Over Ethernet (PoE) power source.Features• One RJ-45 connector• LED indicators• Safety wire tie point• Kensington-compatible lock port• Slots for wall mounting• Clips for mounting on a suspended ceiling T-barThe AP 300 Access Port has one RJ-45 connector supporting an 10/100 Ethernet port and requires 802.3af-compliant power from an external source.The AP 300 Access Port comprises two 802.11 radios: an 802.11b/g radio operating in the 2.4 to 2.5Ghz band and an 802.11a radio operating in the 4.9 to 5.875Ghz band. Each radio has an embedded controller which runs local firmware used to perform the functions of the lower 802.11 MAC. All upper MAC functions and MAC management are controlled by the Wireless Switch.Motherboard firmware enables the unit to boot after either a power up or a watchdog reset. After self-boot, the motherboard sends an “I am alive” message into the network to be adopted and loaded with the actual runtime code. The boot firmware on the motherboard and the firmware downloaded from the switch can be updated via the Ethernet interface from the Wireless Switch.Lock PortThe lock port, compatible with Kensington-style security cables, is on the side of the case.LED IndicatorsThe unit has LED activity indicators on the front of the case provide a status display indicating error conditions, transmission, and network activity for the 802.11a (amber) radio or the 802.11b/g (green) radio.Operating Voltage 48VDC typical; 36-57VDC rangeOperating Current 100mA to 165mAPeak Current 250mAOperating Temperature 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)Operating Humidity 5% to 95% non-condensingOperating Altitude (max ) 2438m (8,000ft.)Storage Temperature -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F)Storage Humidity 85%Storage Altitude (max.) 4572m (15,000ft.)Drop 91cm (36in.) to concreteElectrostatic Discharge +/-15kV air; +/-8kV contact; +/-2kV pinNote: The AP 300 Access Port (WSAP-5110-100-WW) supports UNII band 1.Length 24.1cm (9.5in.)Width 17.8cm (7.0in.)Height 5.1cm (2.0in.)Weight 0.45kg (1.0lbs)Device Mbps Data Rate Support Utilizing Diversity GHz802.11a 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Transmit and receive 4.9 to 5.875 range802.11b/g 1, 2, 5.5, 11 CCK6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 ODFMTransmit and receive 2.4 to 2.5 ISM rangeTask 802.11a Activity LED Amber 802.11b/g Activity LED GreenBooting The amber LED flashes three times per second until firmware is loaded.

Installation InstructionsThe AP 300 Access Port mounts either on a wall with wide-shoulder screws or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. This unit is not designed for mounting on a desk.To prepare for installation, perform the following steps:1. Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the packing list and on the case of the device shipped.2. Verify that the contents of the box include the intended AP 300 Access Port and mounting hardware:3. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the AP 300 Access Port.4. Connect a CAT-5 cable to a compatible 802.3af power source and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure that there is sufficient slack on the cable to perform the installation steps. Wall MountThis mounting requires hanging the AP 300 Access Port along its width or length using the two slots on the bottom of the unit. The AP 300 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using the provided wall anchors when necessary. The illustration shows a lengthwise mount.Item NotesWSAP-5110-100-WW 802.11a/b/g configuration.Mounting Hardware: Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws.Wall Mount Hardware• Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws• Two wall anchors• Safety wire (recommended) and security cable (optional)Note: In the event that the original mounting screws are lost, the following screws can be used instead:`(ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or AB Self-Tap-ping Screw, or (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm Type D Self-Tapping ScrewWall Mount Procedure1. Orient the case on the wall by its width or length.2. Using the arrows on one edge of the case as guides, move the edge to the midline of the mounting area and mark points on the midline for the screws.3. At each point, drill a hole in the wall, insert an anchor, screw into the anchor the wall mounting screw and stop when there is 1mm between the screw head and the wall.Note: When pre-drilling a hole the recommended hole size is 2.8mm (0.11in.) if the screws are going directly into the wall and 6mm (0.23in.) if the provided wall anchors are being used.4. If required, loop a safety wire—with a diameter of at least .101cm (.04in.) but no more than .158cm (.0625in.)—around the tie point and secure the loop.5. If required, install and attach a security cable to the unit’s lock port.6. Attach the Ethernet cable to the unit and to a switch with an 802.3af-compatible power source.7. Place the middle of each of the case’s mount slots over the screw heads.8. Slide the case down along the mounting surface to hang the mount slots on the screw heads.4659. Verify the unit has power by observing that the LEDs are lit or flashing.Suspended Ceiling T-Bar MountCeiling mount requires holding the AP 300 Access Port up against a T-bar of a suspended ceiling grid and twisting the case onto the T-bar.Ceiling Mount Hardware• Safety wire (recommended) and security cable (optional)Ceiling Mount Procedure1. If required, loop a safety wire—with a diameter of at least .101cm (.04in.) but no more than .158cm (.0625in.) —through the tie post and secure the loop.2. If required, install and attach a security cable to the lock port.3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the the unit and to a switch with an 802.3af-compatible power source.4. Face the bottom of the T-bar with the back of the case.5. Orient the case by its length and the length of the T-bar.6. Rotate the case in place 45 degrees clockwise, or about 10 o’clock.7. Push the back of the case onto the bottom of the T-bar.1328. Rotate the case 45 degrees counter-clockwise. The clips click as they fasten to the T-bar.9. Verify the unit has power by observing the LEDs.Regulatory InformationAll Symbol devices are designed to be compliant with rules and regulations in locations they are sold and will be labeled as required.
