Installing the Access Point
The 207 Series access points ship with two ceiling rail
adapters for 9/16” and 15/16” ceiling rails. Additional ceiling
rail adapters for other rail styles and wall mount adapters are
available as accessory kits.
1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the
ceiling tile near where the access point will be placed.
2. Place the adapter against the back of the access point with
the adapter at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to the
tabs (see
).
3. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the
tabs (see
).

clockwise until the device clicks into place on the ceiling

further details on verifying post-installation network
connectivity.
Configuring the 207 Series
Access Point Provisioning/Reprovisioning
Provisioning parameters are unique to each access point.
These local access point parameters are initially configured on
the controller which are then pushed out to the access point
and stored on the access point itself. Dell recommends that
provisioning settings be configured via the AOS Web UI only.
Refer to the AOS User Guide for complete details.
Access Point Configuration
Configuration parameters are network or controller specific
and are configured and stored on the controller. Network
configuration settings are pushed out to the access point but
remain stored on the controller.
Configuration settings can be configured via the AOS Web
UI or AOS CLI. Refer to the respective guides for further
details.
CAUTION: All Dell access points should be professionally
installed by certified technician. The technician is
responsible for ensuring that grounding is available that
meets applicable regional regulatory and electrical
standards.
ATTENTION: Tous les points d'accès Dell doivent
impérativement être installés par un professionnel agréé.
Ce dernier doit s'assurer que l'appareil est mis à la terre et
que le circuit de mise à la terre est conforme aux codes
électriques nationaux en vigueur.
Note: The instructions for this section are applicable to the
W-AP207 access points only.
