Mounting Options
You can mount a DWL-6610APE 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-6610APE 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-6610APE 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-6610APE is designed
Computer
to receive PoE power only from an
802.3af-compliant source, or from 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.
Computer
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.
