Installation
Power on the access point
To power on the DWL-3600AP, you can use ONE of
the following methods:
1. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN
port of the DWL-3600AP and the other end into
a port on a PoE switch.
2. Purchase separately a DPE-101GI PoE injector
if you need to connect the Access Point without
a PoE Switch.
Congure the access point
To set up and manage the DWL-3600AP, please
follow the instructions below.
• Power up the access point by connecting
it to any one of the POE switch’s Ethernet
ports. The default IP address of the access
point is 10.90.90.91. You will be prompted
for an ID and password when you try to
log into the web management interface.
Enter admin as the ID, and admin as the
password.

Mounting Options
You can mount a DWL-3600AP 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-3600AP 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-3600AP 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).
ENGLISH
Warning: The DWL-3600AP 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.
