Assemble the dish of the DAP-3712 by sliding the two halves together until they lock in place. H S I L G N E 3. Thread a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable through the cover for the PoE port on the underside of the DAP-3712. Insert the cable into the PoE port, then attach the cover to the device. Figure 3: Assembling the Dish 2. Connect the antenna and base through the hole in the center of the dish. Figure 5: Connecting the Ethernet Cable 4. Connect the adjustment kit to the base of the DAP-3712 by pressing it in until it clicks and locks in place. Use the adjustment kit to position the antenna at the desired angle Figure 4: Attaching the Antenna Powering the Access Point Figure 6: Attaching the Adjustment Kit To power the DAP-3712, use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the PoE port on the DAP-3712 to a PoE power source device such as a PoE switch or the included PoE injector. 2 Quick Installation Guide Cable Requirements Connecting Through a Switch or Router:
Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath. The Ethernet port on the DAP-3712 access point cannot accept a CAT 5 cable that has an uneven sheath; the RJ-45 connector on the cable will not t properly into the receptacle on the access point. Configuring the Access Point To set up and manage the DAP-3712, use one of the following methods. Connecting Through a Computer 1. 2. 3. 4. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the DAP-3712 to the management computer. Ensure the computer is in the same subnet as the device. The default subnet is 192.168.0.2/255. Launch a web browser. Enter 192.168.0.50 in the address eld of your browser. Log in to the administration user interface. The default login information is:
1. 2. 3. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the DAP-3712 to the switch or router the management computer is connected to. If the access point did not acquire an IP address from a DHCP server on the network, enter the default IP address of the access point (192.168.0.50) in the address eld of your browser. If the access point is automatically assigned an IP address by a DHCP server on your network, enter the IP address assigned to the access point into the web browser.

The antenna only transmits data in the direction it is pointed. DAP-3712 Computer Figure 7: Direct Connection Quick Installation Guide 3 Be sure to install the device at a height that ensures that the alignment between the devices is visible and there are no obstructions in the middle. Note: The DAP-3712 is designed to receive PoE power only from an 802.3at compliant source. Connecting the DAP-3712 to a PoE device that is not approved by D-Link can damage the equipment. Mounting on a Pole H S I L G N E 1. Hold the DAP-3712 against the pole in the desired position. Figure 10: Completed Installation RF Frequency Requirements This device is for outdoor use. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5150 ~ 5250 MHz, 5725 ~ 5825 MHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage the PoE injector included with this device. Figure 9: Mounting the Device 2. Thread the metal mounting tie through the hole on the base of the DAP-3712 and and wrap it around the pole. Fasten the tie to secure the device against the pole.
