Quick Installation Guide
For WAP9114 and WAP9144 Series Models
WAP9114 and WAP9144 Access Points (APs) are new APs within the Avaya wireless portfolio. With two omnidirectional radios, and an integrated controller, the APs deliver robust wireless connectivity. The WAP9144 AP has two 802.11ac Wave 2 radios, while the WAP9114 has two Wave 1 radios. This Guide covers the steps required to install and start these APs.

1 You Need the Following Items

• Power and Ethernet connection(s) to your wired network using Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables:

  • GIG1/POE—This Gigabit port powers the AP via Power over Ethernet (PoE) using a Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable that also carries data traffic. See below for Power details.
  • GIG2—This second, data-only Gigabit port is only available on the WAP9144, and provides additional bandwidth. Its use is optional. Connect with Cat 5E or Cat 6 cable.
    AP must be connected to PoE networks without routing cabling to the outside plant. This ensures that cabling is not exposed to lightning strikes or possible crossover from high voltage lines. AP, PoE injectors, and switches must be installed and used indoors. The total Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable length from the switch to the AP must be no more than 100 m, including all cable segments.

• Power— See the matrix below to select a compatible PoE switch or Avaya-supplied injector for your AP.
  9114 models are IEEE802.3af-compatible, while 9144 models require 802.3at. If using an injector, you must provide a data connection from the switch to the injector as well as another cable from the injector’s OUT port to the AP’s GIG1/POE port.

  •  Apply power to GIG1/POE port only—other AP Gigabit ports will not draw power if connected to a powered switch port, and AP LEDs will not light.
  • If you are using a POE switch, it is imperative that you know that the switch has sufficient power budget to power all connected devices.
  • All Avaya 9144 APs are Type 2, Class 4 POE-802.3at devices. If your switch vendor provides a setting for the type of powered-device detection with options such as Legacy, 4-Point, or BOTH, set the port to BOTH or 4-Point. Do not use settings intended for legacy devices.

• Access to a Web browser to configure the AP via the Wireless LAN Orchestration System (or for the 9144 only, directly via the AP’s Windows Management Interface – WMI).

• For a suspended ceiling mount, you need a 7/16” nut driver to attach the mounting plate to the T-Bar clips. (See “Install Mounting Hardware” on page 2.)
  NOTE: Leave protective plastic film on the AP until installation is complete to avoid leaving marks on the AP.

Mounting Options

• Direct Ceiling Mount–for a secure mount, use the furnished mounting plate with at least two user-supplied screws. Or you may mount directly to the ceiling with two user-supplied screws (we recommend max screw size #8, Pan Head type). In either case, you must use screws that are appropriate for the ceiling construction material.
• Suspended Ceiling Grid Mount–See photos at right and on Page 3. Use the mounting plate with the two supplied T-Bar clips (for 15/16″ ceiling grid).
• Wall Mount–use a Wall Mount Accessory Kit, which contains a mounting plate, wall mount bracket, and three screws (1/4″ Plastite).

2 Choose a Suitable Location

• Choose an indoor location that is central to your users, that is away from heat sources. To ensure good air flow, it is essential that the AP’s vents are not blocked.
• The AP should be installed parallel to the ground (i.e., in a horizontal position, not tilted on its side). The AP should not be more than 30 feet (9m) above the ground (or the level at which receiving devices will be used). For atypical installations, please verify the resulting signal coverage.
• The location must be capable of supporting the weight of the AP and the mounting bracket (about 2 lb total).
• For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive survey be performed by a qualified Avaya partner.
• Maintain a distance of at least 50 feet (15m) between additional APs.
• Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise–at least 3 to 6 ft (1m – 2m).

3 Install Mounting Hardware

• 3A–Ceiling Mount
• 3B–Ceiling Grid Mount with Mounting Plate
• 3C–Wall Mount with Bracket

3A–Ceiling Mount
We recommend use of the supplied AP mounting plate, which offers a more secure mount and ease of dismount.

1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the AP (push it against the AP and twist it to the left). Use the holes on the mounting plate to mark the placement of at least two user-supplied screws to install in the ceiling.
   If not using the mounting plate, mark the locations for the two mounting screws on the ceiling–the centres are 3.5″ (8.9 cm) apart.

2. Drill and prepare holes for the screws as appropriate.

3. Cut an access hole for the cable(s) in the ceiling and draw enough cable through to attach to the AP after it is installed.

4. If using the mounting plate, align it over the prepared holes. Secure the plate with the screws. Do not overtighten.
   If not using the mounting plate, install two screws at the marked locations so that they protrude 1/8″ (.3 cm) between the mounting surface and the head of the screw.

5. Proceed to “Connect Cables and Install AP” on page 4. NOTE: The AP must not be disassembled! If not using the mounting plate, do not remove the back of the AP to tighten the screws after mounting to ceiling.

3B–Ceiling Grid Mount with Mounting Plate

1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the AP (push it against the AP and twist it to the left). For T-Bar clips, use two of the four holes on the AP mounting plate to mark the placement of two T-Bar clips on the metal ceiling support grid. Twist the two supplied T-Bar clips onto the metal ceiling grid at the marked locations and tighten the screw posts to 10-12 lbf.ft (1.38-1.66 kgf.m). Do not over- tighten the screw posts.

2. Cut an access hole in the ceiling tile and draw the cable(s) through.

3. Align the AP mounting plate over the screw posts of the T-Bar clips and
   secure it to the two posts using the nuts provided. Tighten the nuts to 1012 lbf.ft (1.38-1.66 kgf.m), but do not over tighten.

4. Proceed to “Connect Cables and Install AP” on page 4.

3C–Wall Mount with Bracket
NOTE: The mounting location must be able to support the weight of the Access Point and the mounting bracket (about 2 lb. total).

1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the AP (push it against the AP and twist it to the left). Align the three holes in the wall bracket (ordered separately, see Page 2) over the corresponding mounting plate holes. The wall bracket’s small locking tab should point down toward the mounting plate.
   NOTE: Use only the screws provided in the accessory kit. Other screws that seem equivalent in size may damage the mounting plate.

2. Use the three screws provided in the accessory kit to attach the wall mount bracket to the AP mounting plate as shown here.

3. Use the Wall Mounting Bracket as a template and mark the locations on the wall for the mounting holes. The bracket must be secured to the wall in 3 places. When marking the holes, make sure the mounting plate is level.

4. Attach the mounting plate to the wall with three user-supplied screws appropriate to the wall construction type.

5. Cut an access hole for the cable(s) in the wall and draw enough cable through to attach to the AP after it is installed.

6. Proceed to “Connect Cables and Install AP” on page 4.

4 Connect Cables and Install AP

NOTE: Once you connect the AP’s GIG1/POE port, an automatic upgrade typically starts soon after the AP has Internet connectivity. Do not unplug this port while booting or during the upgrade process or the AP may become inoperable. The upgrade should take 10 minutes or less depending on bandwidth.

1. Connect the cable that carries power and data to GIG1/POE (shown in red). If power is being properly supplied, the AP’s LEDs will light and then commence blinking in their rotating boot pattern. A second data connection may be plugged into GIG2 (optional, WAP9144 only).
2. Align the two slots on the back of the AP chassis (circled in red) with the corresponding tabs on the AP mounting plate or with the two screws installed directly in the ceiling.
3. Push the AP chassis up on the mounting plate tabs and rotate the AP to the right until it snaps in place.
4. Remove the protective plastic film from the unit. 5. If you need to remove the AP, push it up towards the ceiling and rotate it to the left.

5 Provisioning and Ongoing Management

Most customers employ the Wireless LAN Orchestration System (WOS) for the initial setup and continuing management of Avaya devices. WOS users can readily set up their new devices for provisioning and ongoing maintenance. Set up discovery for the subnetwork of your APs, and create and configure a default profile for newly added APs. When APs are discovered, they are automatically assigned to the WOS default profile and will receive the configuration defined for that profile. If you are not using WOS, refer to Using the Avaya OS for Avaya WLAN AP 9100 Series (NN47252-102) to configure 9144 APs manually via the Express Setup menu. Note that 9114 APs can only be configured via WOS.

6 Using the Reset Button

The reset button returns the Access Point to factory default settings while rebooting. It is located on the bottom of the unit. Use the reset button as follows:

• Unplug the cable from the GIG1/POE port.
• Press the reset button all the way (there should be a faint click) and hold it.
• Plug the cable back in and continue to keep the button pressed for 10 seconds. This triggers the factory default reset during the boot process.
