Quick Installation Guide
For Outdoor Access Point WAO9122
The WAO 9122 Hardened Wireless Access Point (WAP)
provides Avaya wireless technology in a hardened case for
installation outdoors and in other harsh environments.
This guide describes how to install the WAO 9122 on a pole
or wall and execute the initial power up of the WAP. The
pole or wall can be a structure that is installed at ground
level or on a roof. The WAO 9122 is not compatible with other Avaya mounting options. For
additional information, refer to
Using the Avaya Wireless Orchestration System
(NN47252-103).
This document is intended ONLY for WAO 9122 model WAPs. For other models please
see the installation guide for that model series.

Accessory Kit (included in each WAP carton) includes:
Mounting bracket and eight attachment screws
Grounding screw
Watertight RJ connector assembly
Appropriate tools, bands, screws, and/or anchors required for the desired mounting
location (not provided with the WAP).
Antenna and low-loss outdoor-rated coaxial cables terminated with N Male to Reverse
Polarity TNC connectors . Note that some antennas include integrated cables as part of the

Power—WAO 9122 WAPs are powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) using an outdoor-
rated Ethernet Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable that also carries data traffic. Only Avaya-supplied
power injectors, or 802.3af or 802.3at PoE-compliant switches, may be used to power the
WAO 9122. The WAO 9122 is powered by one injector port rated at 20W or higher.
NOTE: PoE Injectors and switches must be installed and used indoors.
