DWL-8220AP User's Manual
DWL-8220AP Mounting Options
You can mount a DWL-8220AP access point on any of the following types of surfaces:
• Suspended T-bar ceiling
• Junction box
• Solid surface wall or ceiling
• Tabletop
Note: The solid surface mounting option requires CAT5 cable that does not have strain relief.
The other mounting options can use CAT5 cable with or without strain relief.
Wall Installation Recommendations
If you plan to install an AP on a partial wall or other vertical surface, 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). This recommendation does not apply if you plan to use external antennas. You can orient
the antennas independently of the AP itself. Orient an external antenna to face the intended
coverage area.
DWS-1008 Wireless Switch Recommendation
D-Link recommends that you install and configure the DWS-1008 switch before installing
an access point. If the switch is already installed and configured for the access point(s), you
can immediately verify the cable connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the access
point.
Warning: The DWL-8220AP is designed to receive power only from an 802.3af-compliant
source, a D-Link DWS-1008 wireless switch, or 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.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Docket 96-8 for Spread Spectrum Transmitters
specifies a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with the proper antennas (shipped in the
product), D-Link access point products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found
in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1-1991. Proper installation of the DWL-8220AP access point
according to the instructions in this manual will result in user exposure that is below the FCC
recommended limits.
Warning: In the U.S., locate the access point and any externally attached antennas a
minimum of 20 cm (7.9 inches) away from people. This safety warning conforms with FCC
radio frequency exposure limits for dipole antennas such as those used in the DWL-8220AP
access point.
