Installing the Avaya WLAN Outdoor Access Point WAO9122
2
Choose a Suitable Location
The WAO 9122 is tested to IP65 waterproof and dust-proof requirements to protect against
severely wet and dusty environments. For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive
survey be performed by a qualified Avaya partner.
Choose a location that is not subjected to submersion.
Direct sunlight may raise the effective ambient temperature many degrees above air
temperature. It is best to choose a location that has some protection from the sun.
The maximum cable length between the WAO 9122 and the RJ-45 Ethernet network is
100 meters. The PoE injector is not a repeater, so its location will not increase this
distance.
The WAO 9122 can operate from a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link. However,
the unit will need to be configured via the Ethernet connection prior to mounting and
power must still be supplied via the RJ-45 Ethernet connector.
Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise—at least
3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters).
Prepare the Mounting Location
Part of the mechanical installation is to ensure that the WAP is grounded to earth ground to
dissipate any static electric charge that may develop due to wind.
Determine a good electrical earth ground point near the WAP mounting location. If an
earth ground point is not available, consult an electrician to have one installed.
Before the WAP is attached to a wall or pole, secure a grounding wire and lug to the
WAP with the provided screw in the location indicated by the arrow, below.
