Installing the Access Point

This chapter describes the basic steps required to setup and deploy the D-Link Access Point
and contains the following sections:
•

Installing the Unified Access Point

• Using the CLI to View the IP Address
• Configuring the Ethernet Interface
• Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication
• Verifying the Installation
To manage the DWL-3500AP and DWL-8500AP access points by using the Web interface or
by using the CLI through Telnet or SSH, the AP needs an IP address. If you use VLANs or
IEEE 802.1X Authentication (port security) on your network, you might need to configure
additional settings on the AP before it can connect to the network.
Installing the Unified Access Point
To access the Administration Web UI, you enter the IP address of the access point into a Web
browser. You can use the default IP address of the AP (10.90.90.91) to log on to the AP and
assign a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server on you network to assign network
information to the AP. The DHCP client on the AP is enabled by default.
To install the Unified Access Point, use the following steps:
1. Connect the access point to an administrative PC by using a LAN connection or a direct-
cable connection.
