AP 300 Access Port

Quick Installation Guide

802.11a/b/g Access Port Internal Anten

na Model

WSAP-5110-100-WW

Introduction

The AP 300 Access Port, a component of the Symbol Wireless Switch System, links wireless 
802.11a/b/g devices to the switch, enabling growth of your wireless network with a cost-
effective alternative to standard access points. The AP 300 Access Port provides two 
placement options: wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots fit onto two screws provided. Arrows on 
the case guide placement of the screws. Clips on the back of the case fit onto a suspended 
ceiling T-bar.

The AP 300 Access Port receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 cable. 
There is no additional power supply required.

Radio Characteristics

The AP 300 Access Port is an IEEE 802.11-compliant device containing one 802.11a radio and 
one 802.11b/g radio. The following table lists radio characteristics for each radio’s compliance. 
The three supported 802.11g modes are simultaneous CCK and ODFM. CCK only, or ODFM only.

Description

The AP 300 Access Port is an IEEE 802.11-compliant device containing one 802.11a radio and 
one 802.11b/g radio. The unit contains internal 2.4-2.5GHz and 4.9-5.285GHz antennas and 
supports UNII band 1, and it requires power from any UL-listed, 802.3af-compatible Power Over 
Ethernet (PoE) power source.

Features

• One RJ-45 connector
• LED indicators
• Safety wire tie point
• Kensington-compatible lock port
• Slots for wall mounting
• Clips for mounting on a suspended ceiling T-bar

The AP 300 Access Port has one RJ-45 connector supporting an 10/100 Ethernet port and 
requires 802.3af-compliant power from an external source.

The AP 300 Access Port comprises two 802.11 radios:  an 802.11b/g radio operating in 
the 2.4 to 2.5Ghz band and an 802.11a radio operating in the 4.9 to 5.875Ghz band. Each radio 
has an embedded controller which runs local firmware used to perform the functions of the 
lower 802.11 MAC.   All upper MAC functions and MAC management are controlled by the 
Wireless Switch.

Motherboard firmware enables the unit to boot after either a power up or a watchdog reset. 
After self-boot, the motherboard sends an “I am alive” message into the network to be adopted 
and loaded with the actual runtime code.  The boot firmware on the motherboard and the 

firmware downloaded from the switch can be updated via the Ethernet interface from the 
Wireless Switch.

Lock Port

The lock port, compatible with Kensington-style security cables, is on the side of the case.

LED Indicators

The unit has LED activity indicators on the front of the case provide a status display indicating 
error conditions, transmission, and network activity for the 802.11a (amber) radio or the 
802.11b/g (green) radio.

mobiles cannot associate.

The green LED flashes three times per second 
until firmware is loaded. During boot, 
802.11b/g mobiles cannot associate.

Normal

After adoption, the amber LED is steady or 
flashes with 802.11a radio traffic.

After adoption, the green LED is steady or 
flashes with 802.11b/g radio traffic.

Error

The amber LED flashes once per second 
if an error prevents the 802.11a radio from 
operating normally.

The green LED flashes once per second 
if an error prevents the 802.11b/g radio from 
operating normally.
