Section 2 - Getting Started

The D-Link DWL-x600AP unied access point (UAP) provides continuous, high-speed access between wireless

devices and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, standards-based solution for wireless networking in businesses of

any size. The UAP enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-the-art wireless

networking features.

The UAP can operate in two modes: Standalone Mode or Managed Mode. In Standalone Mode, the UAP acts

as an individual access point in the network, and you manage it by using the Administrator Web User Interface

(UI), command-line interface (CLI), or SNMP. In Managed Mode, the UAP is part of the D-Link Unied Wired and

Wireless System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the

Administrator Web UI, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP services are disabled.

This document describes how to perform the setup, management, and maintenance of the UAP in Standalone Mode.

For information about conguring the AP in Managed Mode by using the D-Link Unied Wireless Switch, see the User

Manual for the switch.

Before you power on a new UAP, review the following sections to check required hardware and software components,

client congurations, and compatibility issues. Make sure you have everything you need for a successful launch and

test of your new or extended wireless network.

The DWL-6600AP and DWL-8600AP are dual-radio access points and support the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g,

and 802.11n modes. The DWL-2600AP and DWL-3600AP are single-radio access points and support the IEEE

802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and 802.11n (2.4 GHz) modes. The DWL-3610AP is a single-radio access point that supports

both 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n) and 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a, 802.11n, 802.11ac) modes.

The DWL-6610AP, DWL-8610AP, DWL-8710AP, and DWL-6620APS are dual radio access points and support all the

modes (IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, and IEEE 802.11ac). The DWL-7620AP is a tri-

radio access point which supports one 2.4GHz Radio (IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11n) and two 5GHz

Radios (IEEE 802.11a, 802.11n, 802.11ac).

This section contains the following topics:

•) “Administrator’s Computer Requirements” on page 11

•) “Wireless Client Requirements” on page 12

•) “Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the AP” on page 13

•) “Installing the UAP” on page 13

•) “Basic Settings” on page 16

•) “Using the CLI to View the IP Address” on page 17

•) “Conguring the Ethernet Settings” on page 18

•) “Conguring IEEE 802.1X Authentication” on page 19

•) “Verifying the Installation” on page 20

•) “Conguring Security on the Wireless Access Point” on page 21

To manage the UAP 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 congure

additional settings on the AP before it can connect to the network.

Note: The WLAN AP is not designed to function as a gateway to the Internet. To connect your

WLAN to other LANs or the Internet, you need a gateway device.

Administrator’s Computer Requirements

The following table describes the minimum requirements for the administrator’s computer for conguration and

administration of the UAP through a Web-based user interface (UI).

Required Software or Component Description

Serial or Ethernet Connection to the

Access Point

The computer used to congure the rst access point must be connected

to the access point by a serial cable or an Ethernet cable.
