D-Link Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide
To use a LAN connection, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network port on the
access point and the other end to the same hub where your PC is connected, as shown in
Figure

Figure 2. LAN Connection for DHCP-Assigned IP

The hub or switch you use must permit broadcast signals from the access point to reach all
other devices on the network.
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

Figure 3. Ethernet Connection for Static IP Assignment

For initial configuration with a direct Ethernet connection and no DHCP server, be sure to
set your PC to a static IP address in the same subnet as the default IP address on the access
point. (The default IP address for the access point is 10.90.90.91.)
If you use this method, you will need to reconfigure the cabling for subsequent startup and
deployment of the access point so that the access point is no longer connected directly to
the PC but instead is connected to the LAN (either by using a hub, as shown in
directly).
NOTE: It is possible to detect access points on the network with a wireless

connection. However, we strongly advise against using this method. In most
environments, you may have no way of knowing whether you are actually
connecting to the intended AP. Also, many of the initial configuration
changes required will cause you to lose connectivity with the AP over a
wireless connection.
