It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a switch for

configuring the DWL-1700AP. The default IP address for the DWL-1700AP is

192.168.0.50:2000

with a Subnet Mask of

255.255.255.0

on the

wired Ethernet side.

The default setting of the wireless side is

192.168.1.50

, with the same subnet

mask.You will need to assign your computer a Static IP address within the same range

as the DWL-1700AP’s IP address for the purpose of configuring the DWL-1700AP.

See

the Manual on the CD-ROM if you need assistance in assigning a Static IP address

for your network adapter.

This product should

ONLY

be installed by experienced

installers who are familiar with local building and safety

codes and where ever applicable, are licensed by the

appropriate authorities.

Failure to do so may void the D-Link product

warranty and may expose the end 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.

A safety grounding system is necessary to protect your outdoor

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

direct grounding of the antenna mast, Outdoor AP and Surge Arrester is

very important. And so mounting the Outdoor AP on the antenna mast,

you have to connect the Outdoor AP to the same grounding system with

the AC wall outlet.The grounding system must comply with the National

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

check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your

outdoor installation is properly grounded.

Mounting your DWL-1700AP

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

picture above.

A wall (side) mount allows for mounting the DWL-1700AP on the side of a

building. This will provide a convenient mounting location when the roof overhang is not

excessive and/or the location is high enough to provide a clear line of sight.

A safe grounding system is necessary to protect your DWL-

1700AP

from lightning strikes and the build-up of static

electricity when installed in an outside environment.

So direct grounding

of the antenna mast, DWL-1700AP and Surge Arrester is very important. So

when mounting the DWL-1700AP on an antenna mast, you have to connect

the DWL-1700AP to the same grounding system with the AC wall outlet.

The grounding system must comply with the National Electrical Code and

safety standards that apply in your country. Always check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your outdoor installation is

properly grounded.

Step 1:

With the unit powered off, attach the dipole antenna to the antenna

connector.

NOTE:

Do not over-tighten; tightness by hand is sufficient. Position the

antenna vertically for best omni-directional signal reception.

Step 2:

Attach the Console Port cable to the Serial Port. Attach the other cable end

to the Serial Port on a PC running a terminal emulation program, and set the terminal

to

115200

Baud,

No

-Parity,

8

data bits,

1

Stop bit, and ANSI compatible.

NOTE:

This connection is required only for setting up initial factory configuration information.

Step 3:

Plug the female end of the power cord into the Inline Power Injector, and

then plug the male end of the power cord into a power outlet or power strip. The

Power LED on the front of the Inline Power Injector will light up.

Step 4:

Run the cross over Ethernet cable (included in your package) from Data

Input Port (on the front of the Inline Power Injector) to the Ethernet Port on the PC we

mentioned

Step 5:

Plug the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet connector into the Special Ethernet port

on the back of the access point.

Step 6:

Plug the RJ-45 Ethernet connector (the other end of the Special Ethernet

cable) into the Power & Data Output Port on the front of the Inline Power Injector.

When the Access Point receives power over the Ethernet cable, the Access Point

will start its boot sequence and the Active LED on the front of the Inline Power

Injector will light up.
