3 D-Link DWL-3140AP Hardware Installation Guide

Installation Considerations

D-Link wireless devices allow you access your network using a wireless connection

from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep

in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or

other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.

Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio

frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range

is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link access point

and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce

your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices

so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5

feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1

meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick!

Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or

ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum

studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points,

wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall

or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls

with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete

will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical

devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as

ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection

may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz

phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The

base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.

4D-Link DWL-3140AP Hardware Installation Guide

Please read the following before you begin:

1. Do not operate the DWL-3140AP access point near unshielded

blasting caps or in an otherwise explosive environment unless the

device has been modied for such use by qualied personnel.

2. Do not touch or move the DWL-3140AP access point when the

antennas are transmitting or receiving.

3. Do not hold any radio device so that the antenna is very close to

or touching the face, eyes, or other exposed body part while the

device’s radio antenna is transmitting.

4. Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult

the local codes, national codes, and safety directors of the

location for usage constraints.

5. Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the

DWL-3140AP access point hardware during lightning storms.

6. The DWL-3140AP access point is intended for indoor use only.

Do not install the device outdoors.

7. To reduce the possibility of connection interference caused by

dust, clean the CAT 5 connector pins before inserting a cable

into an DWL-3140AP access point.

Mounting Options

You can mount a DWL-3140AP access point on any of the following

types of surfaces:

• Solid surface wall or ceiling

• Tabletop

Cable Requirement

The Ethernet ports on the DWL-3140AP access point cannot accept

a CAT 5 cable that has an uneven sheath. The RJ-45 connector on

the cable will not seat properly in the receptacle on the access point.

Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath instead.

Wall Installation Recommendations

If you plan to install an AP on a partial wall or other vertical surface,

orient the top of the access point (the side with the D-Link Logo)

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).

DES-1228P Wireless Switch Recommendations

D-Link recommends that you install and congure the DES-1228P

wireless switch before installing an access point. If the switch is

already installed and congured for the access point(s), you can

immediately verify the cable connection(s) when you plug the

cable(s) into the access point.

Warning: The DWL-3140AP is designed to receive power only from

an 802.3af-compliant source, a D-Link DES-1228P wireless switch,

or 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.
