Dell Networking 310 Series Access Points
Installation Guide
The Dell 310 Series access points (W-AP314, W-AP315, W-IAP314 and W-IAP315)
support IEEE 802.11ac standards for a high-performance WLAN. The access points
are equipped with two single-band radios, which provide network access and monitor
the network simultaneously. The access points deliver high-performance 802.11n
2.4GHz and 802.11ac 5GHz functionality, while also supporting 802.11a/b/g wireless
services. Multi-user Multiple-in, Multiple-output (MU-MIMO) is enabled when
operating in 5GHz mode for optimal performance.
The W-AP314 and W-AP315 access points work in conjunction with a Dell
controller, while the W-IAP314 and W-IAP315 access points can be configured via
the built-in virtual controller.
The 310 Series access points provides the following capabilities:
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless access point
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless air monitor
IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac spectrum analyzer
Compatible with IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) and 802.3af (PoE)
Support for MCS8 and MCS9
Centralized management, configuration and upgrades
Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio

LEDs
LEDs
The 310 Series access points have two LEDs that indicate the system and radio
status.
The LEDs have the following three operating modes that can be selected in the
system management software:
Default mode: See the LED table below.
Off mode: LEDs are off
Blink mode: LEDs blink green
* Blinking: 1s on/1s off
**Flashing: off a fraction of a second every 2s
External Antenna Connectors
The W-AP314 and W-IAP314 access points are equipped with four external antenna
connectors located on the front cover corners (see
Figure 2
).
Figure 2
External Antenna Connectors
Antennas ports ANT0 and ANT1 have dual band functionality and support both
2.4GHz and 5GHz, while ANT2 and ANT3 are single-band and support 5GHz only.
USB Interface
The 310 Series access points are equipped with a USB port for connectivity with
cellular modems and other USB client devices.
Figure 3
USB Port
When powered by an 802.3at or DC source, the USB port can supply power up to
5W.
Figure 4
Back Panel
Console Port
The console port allows the user to connect the access point directly to a serial
terminal or laptop for local management. Connect the device to a terminal or
terminal server using an Ethernet cable.
The port is a 4-pin HDR connector with pin-out details in
Figure 5
.

Serial Port Pin-Out
Ethernet Ports
The 310 Series access points are equipped with a 100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/
MDX Ethernet port. This port supports wired-network connectivity, in addition to
Power over Ethernet (PoE) from IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant power sources.
This device accepts 56V DC (802.3at), or 48V DC (802.3af) nominal as a standard
powered device (PD) from power sourcing equipment, including PoE midspan
injector or a PoE-sourcing network infrastructure.
The port is an RJ45 connector, marked on the enclosure with ”57V
600mA.”

Kensington Lock Slot
The 310 Series access points are equipped with a Kensington lock slot for additional
security, as shown in
Figure 4
.
Reset Button
The reset button can be used to return the access point to factory default settings. To
reset the access point, refer to the steps below:
1.
Power-off the access point.
2.
Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.
3.
Power-on the access point without releasing the reset button. The power LED
will flash within 5 seconds.
4.
Release the reset button.
The power LED will flash again within 15 seconds indicating that the reset is
completed. The access point will now continue to boot with the factory default
settings.
Power
The Ethernet port supports PoE-in and can draw power from an 802.3at
(recommended) or an 802.3af source.
If PoE is unavailable, the 310 Series access points have a single 12V/36W DC power
input to support the AP-AC-V30B AC-to-DC power adapter kit (sold separately).
When both 802.3at and DC power sources are available, the DC power source will
take precedence. The access point will simultaneously draw a minimal current from
the PoE source. In the event that the DC source fails, the access point will switch to
the 802.3at source.
The 310 Series operates without restriction when powered by an 802.3at and DC
power sources. In this mode the USB interface is enabled and supports up to 1A/5W
to a powered device (PD).
When powered by an 802.3af PoE source, the access point operates in Power Save
mode. In this mode, the USB interface is disabled.

CAUTION:
FCC Statement: Improper termination of access points installed in the
United States configured to non-US model controllers is a violation of the FCC
grant of equipment authorization. Any such willful or intentional violation may
result in a requirement by the FCC for immediate termination of operation and may
be subject to forfeiture (47 CFR 1.80).
ATTENTION: Déclaration FCC l’arrêt incorrect des points d’accès installés aux
États-Unis qui sont configurés sur des contrôleurs autres que le modèle agréé
aux États-Unis est considéré comme contrevenant à l’homologation FCC. Toute
violation délibérée ou intentionnelle de cette condition peut entraîner une
injonction d’arrêt immédiat de son utilisation par la FCC et peut déboucher sur la
confiscation de l’équipement (47 CFR 1.80).
