Hardware Overview
Figure 1. DWL-7620AP LEDs
| POWER | When this LED is red, the access point is booting up. When it is green, it is ready for use. |
| LAN1/LAN2 | When this LED is lit, the device’s Ethernet port is connected to an active router or switch. The light will flash when data is being transmitted through the port. |
| 2.4GHz/5GHz | When the LED is lit, the access point’s wireless radio is enabled. It will flash when data is being transmitted via wireless. |
Installation
Power on the Access Point
To power on the DWL-7620AP, you can use one of the following methods:
- Connect the supplied power adapter.
OR - Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN 1 port of the DWL-7620AP and the other end into a port on a PoE switch or injector.
To set up and manage the DWL-7620AP, 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 configured 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. To log in, use the default login information: Username: admin Password: admin - 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 field of your browser, which is the default IP address of the access
point. If you used a DHCP server on your network to automatically configure network information for the access point, enter the new IP address of the access point into the web browser. To log in, use the default login information: Username: admin Password: admin - Manage the access point from the computer via the Unified Wireless Switch or Wireless Controller: Connect the access point to a Unified Wireless Switch or Wireless Controller. Connect your computer to the same network as that of the Unified Wireless Switch or Wireless Controller. Log in to the Unified Wireless Switch web
administration page or Wireless Controller web administration page. For the default login information please see Unified Wireless Switch user manual or Wireless Controller user manual.
Mounting Options
You can mount the DWL-7620AP 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-7620AP 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-7620AP 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-7620AP is designed to receive PoE power only from an 802.3atcompliant 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.
Mounting Using Anchor Screws
Installation
- 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.
- Drill holes in the marked points and insert the plastic wall anchors.
- Use the supplied screws to attach the mounting ring to the wall.
- Plug the CAT 5 cable into the LAN port on the access point.
- To attach the access point to the mounting ring, first 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. - 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
Installation
- Clip two ceiling brackets on the ceiling panels. Make sure both bracket are parallel
- Use the provided screws to attach the mounting ring to the ceiling bracket.
- Plug the CAT 5 cable into the LAN port on the access point.
- Place the DWL-7620AP onto the mounting ring and rotate the device clockwise to lock it in position.
