Introduction

The DWL-1700AP conforms to the 802.11 standard and covers a large operating

distance, providing an 11Mbps* outdoor WLAN which enables users to access

the Internet or an organization’s network.

The D-Link AirPremier DWL-1700AP features a die-cast watertight housing and

a built-in lightning protector to protect the access point from harsh environmental

conditions, including extreme variance in temperature. It also includes Power

over Ethernet (POE) and a unique outdoor remote-mounted design for easy

installation.

The DWL-1700AP is suitable for manufacturing plants, industrial sites, military

bases, universities, hotels, airports and golf courses.

Conﬁgurable as either a Wireless Access Point or a Wireless Router, the

DWL-1700AP offers 128-bit encryption; 802.1x authentication when used

with a RADIUS server; MAC address access control; and additional security

features.

With a built-in ﬁrewall, the DWL-1700AP can operate as a NAT inbound virtual

server and provides IP based access control. Denial of Service (DoS) protection

is also included with the DWL-1700AP to prevent the wireless network from

being hacked. The DWL-1700AP is easily managed via a web-based user

interface, Telnet, or RS-232 console conﬁguration. The DWL-1700AP can also

be managed remotely through SNMP (MIB I & MIB II) support.

Internet Explorer Version 6.0 or Netscape Navigator

Computers with Windows, Macintosh, or Linux-based

operating systems with an installed Ethernet adapter

System Requirements for Conﬁguration:



*”Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11b speciﬁcations. Actual data throughput

rate will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trafﬁc, building

materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughput rate.”

Connections

Special Ethernet Port

Connect one end of the

MIL-C-5015 Ethernet

Cable into this port;

connect the other end

into the Power and Data

Output Port on Inline

Power Injector.

Special serial port (optional)

Connect one end of the MIL-C-5015 style RS-232

console port cable to this port; connect the other

end to a Serial Port on a computer that is running

a terminal emulation program. Set the terminal

to 115,200 Baud, No Parity, 8 data bits, 1 stopbit

and ANSI compatible.

Note: This connection is optional. Use this

console connection only if you are conﬁguring

the DWL-1700AP via the console. (Or when you

fail to conﬁgure the unit through the Web-based

utility).

Antennas

Attach the

antennas, with

the unit powered

OFF. Do not

over-tighten.

the special Ethernet

cable to this port;

attach the other

end to the Special

Ethernet Port on the

DWL-1700AP.

Outdoor Installation

The DWL-1700AP can be mounted on the side of a building or mounted to a

mast as shown above. A wall mount is a convenient location if the roof overhang

is not excessive and/or the location is high enough to provide a clear line of

sight.

Grounding

A safety grounding system is necessary to protect your outdoor

installation from lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity.

Direct grounding of the antenna mast and the DWL-1700AP is very

important. The grounding system must comply with the National

Electrical Code and the safety standards that apply in your country.

Always check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you do not know how to

properly ground the DWL-1700AP.

This product should be installed ONLY by experienced, professional installers who

are familiar with local building and safety codes, and wherever applicable, are

licensed by the appropriate authorities. Failure to do so may void the warranty and

may expose the user or the service provider to legal and ﬁnancial liabilities.

D-Link and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation

of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.
