or accessories not approved or supplied by Symbol, or failure to perform operator handling and scheduled maintenance
instructions supplied by Seller; (iii) which has been subjected to unusual physical or electrical stress, abuse, or accident, or
forces or exposure beyond normal use within the specified operational and environmental parameters set forth in the

AP 300 Access Port
Quick Installation Guide
802.11a/b/g Access Port Internal Antenna 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.
Technical Specifications
Dimensions & Weight
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.
AP 300 Access Port Package Contents
• AP 300 Access Port
• Two screws
• Two wall anchors
• Quick Installation Guide
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.

Booting The amber LED flashes three times per second
until firmware is loaded. During boot, 802.11a
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.
