Computer

You can mount the DWL-8620APE 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-8620APE
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.

Warning: This product is to be connected only to

PoE networks without routing to the outside plant.

The equipment power cord must be connected to

a socket-outlet earthling connection.

Avertissement: Le DWL-8620APE est concu
pour recevoir de l’alimentation PoE uniquement
a partir d’une source compatible 802.3at ou d’un
adaptateur secteur approuve par D-Link. La
connexion d’un point d’acces a un peripherique
Power over Ethernet (PoE) non approuve par
D-Link peut endommager l’equipement.

Avertissement: Ce produit doit etre

connecte uniquement aux reseaux PoE sans
acheminement vers l’installation externe. Le

cordon d’alimentation de l’equipement doit etre
branche sur une prise de terre avec prise de

courant.

Mounting Using Anchor Screws

Installation

1. Use the plastic wall mounting ring to

mark the points where you will insert the

screws on a wall or ceiling.

2. Drill holes in the marked points and
insert the plastic wall anchors.

3. Use the supplied screws to attach the
mounting ring to the wall.

Wall Installation Recommendations

If you plan to install the DWL-8620APE 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-8620APE is designed
to receive PoE power only from an 802.3at-

compliant source or from a D-Link-approved

power adapter. Connecting an access point
to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that

is not approved by D-Link can damage the

equipment.
