Installation

Power on the access point

To power on the DWL-3610AP, you can use ONE of
the following methods:

1. Connect the supplied power adapter

OR

2. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN
port of the DWL-3610AP and the other end into

a port on a PoE switch.

Congure the access point

To set up and manage the DWL-3610AP, use one
of the following methods:

• Manage the access point from the computer:

Connect the access point and your computer

directly via a straight-through Ethernet cable.

• Manage the access point from the computer

via the Switch or Router: Connect the

access point and your computer to the same

switch or router.

Unied Wireless Switch

or

Wireless Controller

Mounting Options

You can mount a DWL-3610AP 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-3610AP 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-3610AP 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-3610AP 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.
