Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DBA-1210P Business Cloud Wave 2 Access Point provides continuous, high-speed access between wireless devices
and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless networking in businesses of any size. The
DBA-1210P enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-the-art wireless networking
features.
The DBA-1210P is managed through the D-Link Business Cloud, with an intuitive browser-based interface that enables rapid
deployment. Since the DBA-1210P is self-conguring and managed over the web, it can even be deployed at a remote location
without on-site IT sta.
This document also describes how to perform the manual networking conguration of DBA-1210P in case of it not being able
to connect to D-Link Business Cloud through the internet.
Before you power on a new DBA-1210P, review the following sections to check required hardware and software components,
client congurations, and compatibility issues. Make sure you have everything you need for a successful launch and test of
your new or extended wireless network.

Section 1 - Product Overview
• Automatic Self Conguration - The DBA-1210P will automatically connect to the D-Link Business Cloud to
perform its self-conguration and management, meaning it can even be deployed at a remote location without
an on-site network administrator. The D-Link Business Cloud also helps to manage the deployment of new
features, bug xes, and enhancements, which are automatically pushed to the DBA-1210P.
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DBA-1210P provides an up to 1.75 Gbps1wireless connection with other
802.11ac wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video
streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.
• Compatible with IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac Devices - The DBA-1210P is still fully compatible with the 802.11a/b/
g/n/ac standards, so it can connect with any existing 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless adapters.
• Dual Band Wireless Radio - The DBA-1210P comes equipped both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz high powered internal
radios that help to provide better wireless coverage and increased signal strength.
• PoE Enabled - The DBA-1210P supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) which enables it to be supplied with Ethernet
over a power cable.
• Convenient Installation - The DBA-1210P features a wall/ceiling mount for easy deployment in a variety of
locations.
• StreamlinedDesign-TheDBA-1210Pisdesignedwithaslimformfactorthateasilyblendsintoanyoceenvironment

Section 2 - Installation
Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the AP
When you power on the access point, the built-in DHCP client searches for a DHCP server on the network in order to obtain
an IP Address and other network information. If the AP is not able to be assigned a DHCP IP on the network, you can manually
recongure the static IP address and relevant network setting through device Administration Web UI or CLI interface.
To manually congure network setting through device AdministrationWeb UI, please refer to“Web-based Conguration Utility”
on page 13
You can manually congure network setting through device CLI as well by any of the following methods:
• Serial Port Connection to the AP
• Telnet Connection to the AP
• SSH Connection to the AP
Please refer to“Device CLI Conguration”on page 17 for more information on how to congure the DBA-1210P using the CLI.
Caution! If you do not have a DHCP server on your internal network, and do not plan to use one, the rst thing you must do
after powering on the access point is to change the connection type from DHCP to static IP and assign a new static IP address
to the AP.
Caution! The default login information is admin/admin for both the Web UI and CLI. Please note that the credentials might
have been changed through the D-Link Business Cloud.
