7 D-Link DWL-3140AP Hardware Installation Guide
Mounting Options
You can mount a DWL-3140AP access point on any of the following
types of surfaces:
• Solid surface wall or ceiling
• Tabletop
Cable Requirement
The Ethernet ports on the DWL-3140AP access point cannot accept
a CAT 5 cable that has an uneven sheath. The RJ-45 connector on
the cable will not seat properly in the receptacle on the access point.
Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath instead.
Wall Installation Recommendations
If you plan to install an AP on a partial wall or other vertical surface,
orient the top of the access point (the side with the D-Link Logo)
toward the intended coverage area. The radio antennas transmit
through the top of the access point but not through the bottom
(where the bracket is).
DES-1228P Wireless Switch Recommendations
D-Link recommends that you install and configure the DES-1228P
wireless switch before installing an access point. If the switch is
already installed and configured for the access point(s), you can
immediately verify the cable connection(s) when you plug the
cable(s) into the access point.
Warning:
The DWL-3140AP is designed to receive power only from
an 802.3af-compliant source, a D-Link DES-1228P wireless switch,
or a D-Link-approved power injector. Connecting an access point to
a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that is not approved by D-Link
can damage the equipment.
