Installation

Power on the Access Point

To power on the DWL-6620APS, you can use
one of the following methods:

• Connect the supplied power adapter.

• Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into

the LAN 1 port of the DWL-6620APS
and the other end into a port on a PoE
switch or injector.

OR

Congure the Access Point

To set up and manage the DWL-6620APS,
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. Ensure
your computer is congured with a
static IP address in the 10.90.90.0/24
subnet. Launch a web browser, type the
default IP address of the access point
(http://10.90.90.91), then press Enter.

ComputerDWL-6620APS

• 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.

If the access point did not acquire an

IP address from a DHCP server on

the network, enter 10.90.90.91 in the

address eld of your browser, which
is the default IP address of the access
point. If you used a DHCP server on
your network to automatically congure

network information for the access point,

enter the new IP address of the access
point into the web browser. To log in, use

Warning: The DWL-6620APS 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.

Warning: This product is to be connected

only to indoor PoE networks with no outdoor
cable routing.

Computer

You can mount the DWL-6620APS 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-6620APS
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-6620APS 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).

1. Place the plastic wall mounting ring on a
wall or ceiling. Mark the points where you

will insert the screws, then remove the

mounting ring.

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.

4. Plug the CAT 5 cable into the LAN port on

the access point.

5. To attach the access point to the
mounting ring, rst locate the right side

of the access point that has a small lock
symbol on it, and make sure to line up
this side with the side of the mounting

ring that has Open - Lock written on it.

6. Twist clockwise to lock the access point
onto the ring. The lock symbol on the

access point must point directly to the

Close text on the mounting ring.

Mounting Using Ceiling
Bracket

2. Use the provided screws to attach the
mounting ring to the ceiling bracket.

3. Plug the CAT 5 cable into the LAN port on
the access point.
