Power on the access point

To power on the DWL-2600AP, you can use ONE of

the following methods:

1. Connect the supplied power adapter

2. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN

port of the DWL-2600AP and the other end into

a port on a PoE switch.

Congure the access point

To set up and manage the DWL-2600AP, use one

of the following methods:

• Manage the access point from the computer:

Connect the access point and your computer

directly via a straight-through Ethernet cable.

Mounting Options

You can mount a DWL-2600AP access point on any

of the following types of surfaces:

• Solid surface wall or ceiling

• Tabletop

Cable Requirement

Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath.

The Ethernet ports on the DWL-2600AP access

point cannot accept a CAT 5 cable that has an

uneven sheath; the RJ-45 connector on the cable

will not fit properly into the receptacle on the access

point.

Wall Installation Recommendations

If you plan to install the DWL-2600AP on a wall or

other vertical surfaces, orient the top of the access

point (the side with the LEDs) toward the intended

coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through

the top of the access point but not through the

bottom (where the bracket is).

Warning: The DWL-2600AP is designed to

receive PoE power only from an 802.3af-compliant

source, or from a D-Link-approved power injector.

Connecting an access point to a Power over

Ethernet (PoE) device that is not approved by

D-Link can damage the equipment.

• Manage the access point from the computer

via the Switch or Router: Connect the

access point and your computer to the same

switch or router.
