Safety Information

This equipment must be installed in compliance with local and national building codes, regulatory

restrictions, and FCC rules. For the safety of people and equipment, only professional network

personnel should install the AP.

You must read the following safety information carefully before you install or remove the

unit.

Approved Channels

Use of this product is only authorized for the channels approved by each country. For proper

installation, select your country from the country-selection list.

To conform to FCC and other country restrictions, your product may be limited in the channels

that are available. If other channels are permitted in your country, please visit the 3Com web site

WARNING: Warnings contain directions that you must follow for your personal safety.

Follow all directions carefully.

WARNING: Exceptional care must be taken during installation and removal of the unit.

WARNING: This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions

according to IEC 950 / IEC 60950. The conditions are only maintained if the equipment

to which it is connected also operates under SELV conditions.

WARNING: There are no user-replaceable fuses or user-serviceable parts inside the

unit. If you have a physical problem with the unit that cannot be solved with problem

solving actions in this guide, contact your supplier.

WARNING: RJ-45 ports. These are RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot be used as

standard traditional telephone sockets, or to connect the unit to a traditional PBX or

public telephone network. Only connect RJ-45 data connectors, network telephony

systems, or network telephones to these sockets.

Either shielded or unshielded data cables with shielded or unshielded jacks can be

connected to these data sockets.

WARNING: To comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, a minimum

body-to-antenna distance of 20 cm (8 in.) must be maintained when the AP is

operational.

1. Unpacking the AP

Make sure that you have the following items, which are included with the AP:

•One 3Com AirConnect 9550 Access Point or 3Com AirConnect 9150 Access Point

•Wall-mounting hardware:

•1 combined wall-mounting bracket and table-top stand

•4 screws

•4 wall anchors

•8 adhesive rubber feet

•1 CD-ROM containing the WIDMan Utility software

•1 copy of this Quick Start Guide

•One 3Com Warranty document

2. Preparing for Installation

3Com recommends that you connect and check the Ethernet cable and LEDs before you install the

AP in a hard-to-reach location. Also, observe these items before you mount or connect the AP:

Feature Description

Switch Port To connect your wireless network to your wired network, you need a

switch that is connected to the AP.

Cabling Make sure that a standard Ethernet cable with straight-through wiring

is installed at the site before you install the AP.

Make sure that the cable is highly flexible and that the RJ-45 connector

has no extra covering that could prevent the cable from being routed

through the mounting bracket.

Power Requirement Power is supplied using an 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

compliant device such as a PoE switch or a PoE injector (also called a

PoE midspan). Example: 3CNJPSE-GIG. For maximum performance,

3Com recommends that you use a Gigabit link.

MAC Address Record the AP MAC address in a safe place before the AP is installed in

a hard-to-reach location.

The MAC address is printed on the back of the AP. Additional MAC

address labels are shipped with the AP.

3. Mounting the AP

The AP can be mounted on the following types of surfaces:

•Wall or electrical box (NEMA enclosure)

•Table top

Wall or Electrical Box Mounting

To install your AP on a wall or electrical box, use the mounting bracket that comes with the

device. Follow these steps:

1Following these guidelines, screw the mounting bracket to a wall or electrical box (NEMA

enclosure):

•The mounting bracket tabs should be pointing upward.

•If mounting to drywall, use the 4 screws and 4 wall anchors.

•If mounting to an EU electrical box (60.3mm), use 2 threaded screws and insert into the

holes marked “A” in the diagram shown below.

•If mounting to a US electrical box (83.3mm), use 2 threaded screws and insert into the

holes marked “B” in the diagram shown below.

2Connect the Ethernet cable (for power and network connection) to the LAN port on the back

of the AP.

3To mount the AP onto the mounting bracket, insert the mounting-bracket tabs into the slots

on the back of the AP.

CAUTION: If you are mounting the AP on a wall, you cannot use the slots on the bottom narrow

edge of the device. Instead, you must use the slots on back of the AP.

Tabletop Mounting

To install the AP on a flat surface such as a table or desktop, follow these steps:

1Insert the tabs on the table stand into the slots on the side of the AP, as shown in the

illustration. Align the cable routing cut out toward the upper part of the stand.

2To lock the stand to the AP, slide the stand back and the AP forward, as shown here:

3Place the AP and table stand on the table.

4Connect the Ethernet cable for power and network connection to the LAN port on the back

of the AP.

Cable routing cut out

4. Connecting Power

This section describes how to power the AP in either of these ways:

•By Power Over Ethernet (PoE) supplied over the LAN by an 802.3af PoE compliant device

such as a switch.

•By PoE supplied by a PoE injector or midspan (not included with the AP).

Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the LAN

To power the AP using PoE provided by a switch or other 802.3af compliant device, plug the

network cable from the device into the AP’s Ethernet port.

Power over Ethernet from a PoE Injector

To power the AP using a PoE injector or midspan (not included), follow these steps:

1Connect the LAN cable from a switch to the Switch port on the PoE injector. 3Com

recommends that you use a Gigabit PoE injector such as 3CNJPSE-GIG

2Connect a LAN cable from the Ethernet port on the AP to the other LAN port on the PoE

injector.

3Plug the PoE injector into a properly grounded electric outlet. See the illustration.

6. Installing Software

The following application is included on the 3Com WIDMan Utility CD-ROM:

•Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager (WIDMan Utility)

To discover and configure the AP, you must first install the Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager

software (WIDMan) on your computer.

1Turn on your computer.

2Insert the 3Com Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.

The CD menu appears. If it does not appear, start the Setup menu from the Windows Start

menu. For example: Start > Run > d:\autorun.exe

3On the menu, click Install/Uninstall WIDMan.

4On the next screen, double-click 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager and then

click Install. The installation begins.

5Follow the instructions on each screen to complete the installation. If prompted, reboot the

computer.
