Installing the AP

Using the Ceiling Rail Adapter

The OAW-AP220 Series ships with two ceiling rail adapters for 9/16” and 15/16” 
ceiling rails. Additional wall mount adapters amd ceiling rail adapters for other 
rail styles are available as accessory kits.

1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near 

where the AP will be placed.

2. Place the adapter against the back of the AP with the adapter at an angle of 

approximately 30 degrees to the tabs (see 

Figure 6

).

3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the tabs (see 

Figure 6

).

Figure 6  

Attaching the Ceiling Rail Adapter

4. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the 

AP.

5. Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots 

at approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see 

Figure 7

). Make 

sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling tile.

6. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks 

into place on the ceiling tile rail.

Mounting the AP

7. On the OAW-AP224, install the external antennas according to the 

manufacturer’s instructions, and connect the antennas to the antenna 
interfaces on the AP.

Connecting Required Cables

Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations and 
practices.

Power Connection

The OAW-AP220 Series has a single 12V DC power jack socket to support 
powering through an AC-to-DC power adapter.

Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity

The integrated LEDs on the AP can be used to verify that the AP is receiving 
power and initializing successfully (see 

Table 1

). Refer to the 

AOS-W Quick Start 

Guide

 for further details on verifying post-installation network connectivity.

Configuring the OAW-AP220 Series

AP Provisioning/Reprovisioning

Provisioning parameters are unique to each AP. These local AP parameters are 
initially configured on the switch which are then pushed out to the AP and stored 
on the AP itself. Alcatel-Lucent recommends that provisioning settings be 
configured via the AOS-W Web UI only. Refer to the 

AOS-W User Guide

 for 

complete details.

AP Configuration

Configuration parameters are network or switch specific and are configured and 
stored on the switch. Network configuration settings are pushed out to the AP(s) 
but remain stored on the switch.

Configuration settings can be configured via the AOS-W Web UI, AOS-W CLI, or 
Alcatel-Lucent MMS. Refer to their respective guides for further details: the 

AOS-

W User Guide
