Intermec’s MobileLAN™access family of access points delivers reliable and seamless wireless
performance to almost any operational environment. The MobileLAN access WA21 can be
powered either by AC power or 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 802.11b
• IEEE 802.11a
The WA21 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 WA21 ports and LEDs. You can also use
this quick start guide to get an overview of how to install the WA21, how to connect the
WA21 to power and to your network, and how to use the MobileLAN access Utility to
configure its IP address. Once you assign the WA21 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 WA21, see the MobileLAN access System Manual (P/N 067150). Please visit the Intermec
Web site at www.intermec.com to download this manual and many other current manuals in
PDF format. Or, you can order printed documentation from your local Intermec
representative.

This product includes cryptographic software
written by Eric Young (ea[email protected]).Government regulatory agencies require that this access point only use approved
antennas. Therefore, this access point uses a custom antenna connector. Do not
use antennas not approved for use with this access point.
Attention: Les organismes de réglementation gouvernementaux exigent que ce
point d’accès. Par conséquent, le point d’accès est doté d’un connecteur
d’antenne personnalisé. N’utilisez pas des antennes qui ne sont pas approuvées.
The WA21 without the internal power supply option is intended to be powered
only from an Ethernet host that complies with the IEEE 802.3af specification for
power over Ethernet (POE).
Attention: Le WA21 sans option de source d’alimentation interne est conçu pour
être alimenté à partir d’un hôte Ethernet qui est conforme à la spécification IEEE
802.3af pour l’alimentation par Ethernet (POE, de l’anglais Power Over Ethernet).
The WA21 with the internal power supply option may be connected either to a
standard Ethernet port or to a powered Ethernet host that complies with the IEEE
802.3af specification for power over Ethernet.
Attention: Le WA21 avec option de source d’alimentation interne peut être
connecté soit à un port Ethernet standard, soit à un hôte Ethernet alimenté qui
est conforme à la spécification IEEE 802.3af pour l’alimentation par Ethernet.
When the WA21 is connected to a powered Ethernet host, both the AC power
cord and the Ethernet cables must be disconnected prior to servicing.
Attention: Lorsque le WA21 est connecté à un hôte Ethernet alimenté, le cordon
d’alimentation CA et les câbles Ethernet doivent tous être débranchés avant tout
entretien ou dépannage.
