Mounting Options
You can mount a DWL-2600AP 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-2600AP 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.
Wall Installation Recommendations
If you plan to install the DWL-2600AP 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-2600AP 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.
