Installation

Mounting Options

You can mount a DWL-3600AP access point on any of the following types of surfaces:

• Solid surface wall or ceiling

• Tabletop

Cable Requirement

Use a CAT5 cable with an even sheath.

The Ethernet ports on the DWL-3600AP access point cannot accept a CAT5 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-3600AP 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, not through the

bottom (where the bracket is).

Warning: The DWL-3600AP 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.
