Chapter 1 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding product: DG-WM2015DIO Outdoor Wi-Fi
Access Point is designed to extend the existing wired network. It has the ability to operate in
different modes and can be used in a wide variety of wireless applications like AP, WDS
Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint. Client and Universal Repeater Mode not only have an easier
setup method, but also provide better performance and compatibility to create a virtually larger
wireless network infrastructure by linking up other access points.
In order to be working well in different outdoor environment, DG-WM2015DIO equips an IP55
compliant plastic housing, and also has an anti-UV coating on it. Together with its designed wall
and pole mounting kit, there are no difficulties with the installation. Built in a 802.3af/at standard
compliant POE (Power over Ethernet) PD, it‟s easy to power this device by a Ethernet cable and a
standard PoE power supply unit. In most situations, the internal Wi-Fi directional antennas should
be powerful enough for data transmission. However, two additional SMA connectors are reserved
for omni external antenna.

Description

Easy Configuration
(Master to Slave)

WEC/Reset
(Press 3 sec)

There are two alternative AP modes defined for the device to
operate with WEC (Wireless Easy Connection) feature. One
is Master Mode (by default), and the other is Slave Mode.
Please manually configure the Wireless Setting for the
Master AP through web UI first, and also prepare a Slave AP
that has already been set to Slave Mode.
Press the WEC/Reset button of the Master AP for 1~3
seconds, release it to trigger the WEC process. Then, Wi-Fi
Green LED flashes fast.
Press the WEC/Reset button of the Slave AP for 1~3 seconds,
release it to trigger the WEC process. Then, Wi-Fi Amber
LED flashes fast.

Note: The Slave AP must be an un-configured one, if it
has already been paired and configured before, please
reset its Slave configuration first.

After a few seconds (normally about 30~60 seconds). The
Master and Slave APs can be paired automatically, and
auto-duplicates the VAP1 wireless setting of the Master AP
as that of the Slave AP.
(If there is something wrong during paring the two devices,
the process will be finished in 2 minutes.)
Once the easy configuration process completes, the Status
LED will be recovered to its original behavior (prior to
triggering it). And the Wi-Fi LED will be Solid when Slave
AP is connected to the network.

2.1.3 Connecting to the Network or a Host

DG-WM2015DIO provides one Gigabit PoE LAN port to connect to the PoE power supply via a
RJ45 cable as described in Section 2.1.2. The PoE LAN port can auto detect the transmission
speed on the network and configure itself automatically. The device is powered from the PoE
power supply via RJ45 cable and PoE LAN port. Besides, use another RJ45 cable to connect the
Data/IN port of PoE power supply to your computer‟s network port. In this way, you can use two
RJ45 Ethernet cables to provide power source for the device and connect it to the host PC‟s
Ethernet port for configuring or troubleshooting the device.

Software Preparation:
