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.

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.

A brief overview on 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.
