D-Link DWL-7100AP User Manual
Installation
It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a switch or router for configuring the DWL-7100AP. The default
IP address for the DWL-7100AP is 192.168.0.50 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
You will need to assign your computer a Static IP address within the same range as the DWL-7100AP’s IP address for the purpose of
configuring the DWL-7100AP. See the Appendix if you need assistance in assigning a Static IP address for your network adapter.
A.
First, connect the power adapter to the receptor at the back panel of the
DWL-7100AP and then plug the other end of the power adapter
to a wall outlet or
power strip. The Power LED will turn ON to indicate proper operation.
B.
Insert one end of the cable to the
Ethernet port on the back panel of the DWL-7100AP and the other end of the cable to your network
(switch or router).
Note:
You also have the option of connecting the DWL-7100AP directly to the computer that will be used for configuration. The Link
LED light will illuminate to indicate a proper Ethernet connection.
(Note: The Ethernet Port on the DWL-7100AP is Auto-MDI/MDIX.
Meaning you can use a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable to connect to the Ethernet port on the
