Ports Ethernet
Le W-AP93H dispose de cinq ports Ethernet actifs (ENET 0-4). ENET 0 est un port
à liaison montante 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) à autodétection, pour les réseaux
filaires MDI/MDX. Prise en charge de l’alimentation PoE IEEE 802.3af. ENET 0
accepte le courant de 48 V c.c. en tant que périphérique électrique normalisé
alimenté par un équipement de source d’alimentation (PSE), tel qu’un injecteur de
puissance PoE ou toute autre forme d’infrastructure réseau prenant en charge
l’alimentation par le port Ethernet. Les ports ENET 1 à 4 sont des ports à liaison
montante 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) à autodétection, pour les réseaux filaires MDI/
MDX qui permettent d’établir une connexion réseau sécurisée avec des appareils
filaires. ENET 0 est situé à l’arrière du point d’accès, tandis que les ports ENET 1 à 4
sont situés sur le dessous (Illustration 4).
En outre, l’W-AP93H prend en charge une interface RJ-45 directe et passive pour
étendre la connexion physique (en général une autre connexion Ethernet) de l’arrière
de l’appareil vers un connecteur sur le dessous.
Illustration 5 Brochage du port Ethernet Gigabit
Illustration 6 Brochage du port Fast Ethernet
Prise d’alimentation en courant continu
Le point d’accès W-AP93H dispose d’une prise unique d’alimentation en 12 V c.c.
qui nécessite la connexion d’un adaptateur secteur.
Bouton de réinitialisation
Le bouton de réinitialisation permet de rétablir les valeurs d’usine du point d’accès.
Pour réinitialiser le point d’accès :
1. Mettez le point d’accès hors tension.
2. Maintenez enfoncé le bouton de réinitialisation avec un objet fin, tel qu’un
trombone déplié.
3. Mettez le point d’accès sous tension sans relâcher le bouton de réinitialisation.
Le voyant d’alimentation clignote pendant 5 secondes.
4. Relâchez le bouton de réinitialisation.
Le voyant d’alimentation clignote à nouveau pendant 15 secondes pour indiquer que
la réinitialisation a bien eu lieu. Le point d’accès poursuit son démarrage en utilisant
les valeurs d’usine.
Avant de commencer
Préparation de l’installation du réseau
Suite à la phase de planification du réseau sans fil et après avoir identifié les produits
nécessaires et les emplacements adéquats, le contrôleur Dell PowerConnect série W,
ou un ensemble de ces derniers, doit être installé et vous devez procéder à la
configuration initiale avant le déploiement des points d’accès Dell.
Liste de contrôle de préparation de l’installation du point d’accès
Avant d’installer votre point d’accès W-AP93H, assurez-vous que vous disposez des
éléments suivants :
z Boîtier murale pré-installée
z Câble UTP Cat5 avec accès réseau installé sur le boîtier mural
z L’une des sources d’alimentation suivantes :
Source IEEE 802.3af compatible PoE (Power over Ethernet - alimentation
sous Ethernet)
Kit de transformation c.a vers c.c. Dell AP (vendu séparément)
z Dell PowerConnect série Contrôleur provisionné sur le réseau :
Connectivité réseau de couche 2/3 vers votre point d’accès
Un des services réseau suivants :
z ADP (Aruba Discovery Protocol - Protocole de découverte Aruba)
z Serveur DNS avec un enregistrement « A »
z Serveur DHCP avec options propres au revendeur
Résumé du processus de configuration
L’installation réussie d’un point d’accès W-AP93H consiste en quatre tâches, qui
doivent être effectuées dans l’ordre suivant :
1. Vérifier la connectivité avant l’installation.
2. Identifier l’emplacement d’installation pour chaque point d’accès.
3. Installer les points d’accès.
4. Vérifier la connectivité après l’installation.
5. Configurer chaque point d’accès.
Vérification de la connectivité avant l’installation
Avant d’installer les points d’accès dans un environnement réseau, assurez-vous que
ceux-ci sont en mesure d’identifier le contrôleur et de s’y connecter lorsqu’ils sont
mis en fonction. De façon plus précise, vous devez vérifier les conditions suivantes :
z Tous les points d’accès connectés au réseau disposent d’une adresse IP valide.
z Les points d’accès peuvent localiser le contrôleur.
Pour plus d’instructions sur la localisation du contrôleur et la connexion au
contrôleur, voir le guide Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS Quick Start Guide sur
support.dell.com.
Identification des emplacements d’installation
Vous pouvez monter le point d’accès W-AP93H sur un mur ou un plafond. Utilisez la
carte générée par le logiciel RF Plan d’Dell pour identifier les emplacements
d’installation optimale du point d’accès. Chaque emplacement doit être aussi prêt
que possible du centre de la zone à couvrir et ne doit pas comporter d’obstructions
ou de sources évidentes d’interférences. Ces sources d’interférences, ces réflecteurs et
ces absorbeurs de fréquences radio auraient un impact sur la propagation des
fréquences radio et doivent être prises en compte dès la phase de planification.
Absorbeurs/réflecteurs/interférences connus de fréquences radio
L’identification des absorbeurs de fréquence radio, des réflecteurs et des sources
d’interférence sur site pendant la phase d’installation est essentielle. Assurez-vous que
ces sources sont prises en compte lors de la connexion d’un point d’accès à un endroit
fixe. Exemples de sources qui réduisent les performances des fréquences radio :
z Ciment et briques
z Objets contenant de l’eau
z Métal
z Fours à micro-ondes
z Téléphones sans fil et casques d’écoute
