Note: 

Ensure that both devices have the same 

model number and are running the same 
firmware version. The radiation pattern and 
wireless protocol of the DAP-3712 is designed 
for high-performance bridge connectivity. Using 
different models or models with mismatched 
firmware versions may cause problems, such 
as performance degradation or a reduction in 
coverage area. 

Powering the Access Point

To power the DAP-3712, use a standard Ethernet 
cable to connect the PoE port on the DAP-3712 
to a 48 V PoE injector.

Cable Requirements

Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath. The 
Ethernet ports 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 fit properly into the receptacle on the 
access point.

Configuring the First DAP-3712 in 

Access Point Mode

1. 

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN 
port on the DAP-3712 to the PoE Out port 
on the PoE injector. Using another cable, 
attach the PoE injector to your switch or 
management computer.
