Preparing the Access Points

Depending on your network security requirements, you might need to connect to the access
point CLI and configure some settings before you connect it to the network. By default, the AP
uses untagged VLANs and no security. If your network requires IEEE 802.1X authentication,
you must configure the supplicant information in the AP before you connect to the network.
Also, if you configure the D-Link Unified Switch to require local AP authentication, you must
connect to the access point CLI and configure a pass phrase. To prevent wireless clients from
having access to the AP management interface, you can create a management VLAN.
NOTE: The commands you enter on the AP apply the changes to the running

Logging on to the AP

You can access the AP CLI only through Telnet. The default IP address is 10.90.90.91/8, and
DHCP is enabled by default on the D-Link Access Point. When you connect the AP to a
network with a DHCP server, the AP automatically acquires an IP address. If there is no
DHCP server on the network, the AP retains its default IP address of 10.90.90.91/8 until you
assign a static IP address.
For initial configuration with a direct Ethernet connection, make sure your PC has an IP
address in the 10.0.0.0/8 subnet so you can access the AP CLI.
To use a direct-cable connection, connect one end of an Ethernet straight-through or crossover
cable to the network port on the access point and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port
on the PC, as shown in
