Cable Requirements
Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath. The
Ethernet port on the DAP-3712 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.
Configuring the Access Point
To set up and manage the DAP-3712, use one
of the following methods.
Connecting Through a Computer
1.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the
DAP-3712 to the management computer.
2.
Ensure the computer is in the same
subnet as the device. The default subnet is
192.168.0.2/255.
3.
Launch a web browser. Enter 192.168.0.50
in the address field of your browser.
4.
Log in to the administration user interface.

IP address from a DHCP server on the
network, enter the default IP address of
the access point (192.168.0.50) in the
address field of your browser. If the access
point 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.
