Dell Networking 330 Series Access Points
Installation Guide
The Dell 330 Series Wireless Access Points (W-AP334, W-IAP334, W-AP335, and
W-IAP335)support IEEE 802.11ac standards for high-performance WLAN. This
device is equipped with two dual-band radios, which provide network access and
monitor the network simultaneously. This access point delivers high-performance
802.11n 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac 5 GHz 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-AP334 and W-AP335 access points work in conjunction with an Dell
controller, while the W-IAP334 and W-IAP335 access points can be configured using
a built-in virtual controller.
The 330 Series wireless 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 monitor
Compatible with IEEE 802.3at power sources
Centralized management, configuration and upgrades
Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio

LEDs
LEDs
The 330 Series access points have two LEDs that indicate the system and radio
status.
The LEDs have three operating modes that can be selected in the system
management software:
Default mode: refer to Table 1
Off mode: LEDs are off
Blink mode: LEDs blink green
Table 1: 330 Series LED Status Indicators
* Blinking: 1s on/1s off
**Flashing: off a fraction of a second every 2s
External Antenna Connectors
The W-AP334 and W-IAP334 access points are equipped with four external antenna
connectors located on the front corners of the access point (see ).

External Antenna Connectors
USB Interface
The 330 Series is equipped with a USB port for connectivity with cellular modems
and other USB client devices.
When powered by an 802.3at or DC power source, the USB port can supply power up
to 5W/1A.
When powered by an 802.3af source, the USB port is disabled.

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 an RJ45 connector with pin-out details in .
Ethernet Ports
The back panel of the 330 Series access point is equipped with two Ethernet ports
(ENET0 and ENET1) to support wired-network connectivity.These ports support
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant sources, accepting 56V DC
(nominal) as a standard powered device (PD) from power sourcing equipment, such
as a PoE midspan injector or network infrastructure that supports PoE.

The ENET1: 100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDX RJ45 port.
Kensington Lock Slot
The 330 Series is equipped with a Kensington lock slot for additional security, shown
in Figure 3.
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 ENET0 and ENET1 ports support PoE-in, allowing one port to draw power from
an 802.3at source.
If PoE is not available, the access point has a single 48V/28W DC power input to
support the AP-AC-48V36 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 330 Series operates without restrictions when powered by a DC or 802.3at PoE
source. In this mode the USB interface is enabled and supports up to 1A/5W to a
powered device (PD).

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).
