Installation

Preparation before Installation

Before installing the DAP-3711, check the
distance between the two sides and ensure
that they are within wireless signal range of
each other. It may be helpful to use a Graphic
Information System (GIS) program such as
Google Earth to check for obstructions between
the two sites. If there is an obstruction, it may
help to install the DAP-3711 as high as possible
to prevent the signal from being blocked.

Note: Ensure that both devices have the same
model number and are running the same
firmware version. The radiation pattern and
wireless protocol of the DAP-3711 is designed
for high-performance bridge connectivity. Using
different models or models with mismatched
firmware versions may cause problems, such
as performance degradation or a reduction in
coverage area.
Powering the Access Point
To power the DAP-3711, use a standard Ethernet
cable to connect the PoE port on the DAP-3711
to a 24 V PoE injector.
