Interface Connectors

Hardware Installation

Powering the Access PointThe DWL-X8630AP can be powered using one of the following methods:

  • (Optional) Connect the supplied power adapter.OR
  • Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect LAN port 1 on the DWL-X8630AP to a PoE power source device such as a PoE switch or PoE injector.

Configuring the Access PointTo set up and manage the DWL-X8630AP, use one of the following methods:

Direct connection to a PC:Connect the access point and the computer directly via a straight-through Ethernet cable. Ensure the 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: adminPassword: admin

Connecting through a switch or router:Connect the access point and the 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 the default IP address of the access point 10.90.90.91 in the address field of your browser. If the access is automatically assigned an IP address by a DHCP server on your network, enter the IP address assigned to the access point into the web browser. To log in, use the default login information:Username: adminPassword: admin

Connecting through a 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’s or Wireless Controller’s web administration page. For the default login information please refer to the Unified Wireless Switch or Wireless Controller user manual.

Mounting Options

You can mount the DWL-X8630AP access point on any of the following types of surfaces:

  • Solid surface wall or ceiling
  • Tabletop

Cable RequirementUse a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath. The Ethernet ports on the DWL-X8630AP 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 RecommendationsIf you plan to install the DWL-X8630AP 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-X8630AP 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 PoE networks without routing to the outside plant. The equipment power cord must be connected to a socket-outlet earthing connection.

Mounting Using Anchor Screws

Installation

  1. Use the plastic wall mounting ring to mark the points where you will insert the screws on a wall or ceiling.
  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. 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 Brackets

Installation

  1. Clip two ceiling brackets on the ceiling panels. Make sure both bracket are parallel.
  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.
  4. Place the DWL-X8630AP onto the mounting ring and rotate the device clockwise to lock it in position.
