Additional documentation is also available on the D-Link website DWL-8720AP Quick Installation Guide Unified AC Dual-band Outdoor PoE Access Point Label Area Contents English 1 DWL-8720AP Quick Installation Guide 1 ENGLISH Hardware Overview LED Indicators Label Area 1234 Figure 1: LED Indicators Note: For the LED positions, please unscrew the protective cap to line up the device with the diagram above. #LEDDescription 1LAN (PoE) Green (Solid) - Link preset Green (Flashing) - Sending or receiving packets 22.4 GHz Green (Solid) - Device’s 2.4 GHz band is operating successfully Green (Flashing) - Sending or receiving packets 35 GHz Green (Solid) - Device’s 5 GHz band is operating successfully Green (Flashing) - Sending or receiving packets 4Power Green (Solid) - Device operational Red (Solid) - Device is booting up or has malfunctioned Table 1: LED Description Before You Begin This installation guide provides instructions for installing the DWL-8720AP on your network. Additional documentation is also available on the D-Link support website. Package Contents This DWL-8720AP package includes the following items: • DWL-8720AP Access Point • Mounting Plate and Hardware (U-bolts and nut fasteners, screws and washers) • Grounding Wire • Console Cable • Quick Start Guide If any of the above items are damaged or missing, please contact your local D-Link reseller. Note: To power the unit, use an 802.3af or 802.3at PoE wwitch or PoE injector. This product is intended to be supplied by a LPS (Limited Power Source) marked UL Listed Power Unit, and its output is rated at 48 V DC (PoE), 0.6 A min., and has a TMA of 60 o C. System Requirements • Computers with Windows®, Macintosh®, or Linux-based operating systems with an installed Ethernet Adapter. • Internet Explorer 11, Safari 7, Firefox 28, or Google Chrome 33 and above (for configuration). 2 DWL-8720AP Quick Installation Guide ENGLISH Interface Connectors Label Area 2341 Figure 2: Bottom Connectors #ConnectorDescription 1Vent Repels liquid and particles while allowing air to pass through 2 LAN (PoE) Port Gigabit RJ-45 port for data and Power over Ethernet (PoE) 3Reset Press and hold for 10 seconds to factory reset the device 4 Console Port Console port to connect to the DWL-8720AP using a RJ-45 to serial cable Table 2: Interface Description Label Area 12 Figure 3: Rear Connectors #ConnectorDescription 1 Wall/Pole Mount Mount to connect to the mounting plate on a wall or a pole 2 Grounding Wire Connect a grounding wire to help prevent device damage due to shorts and lightning strikes Table 3: Interface Description Installation Using Power over Ethernet (PoE) 1. Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the LAN1 (PoE) port on the DWL-8720AP to a PoE power source device such as an 802.3af or 802.3at PoE switch or PoE injector. Note: If you require a PoE injector such as D-Link’s DPE-311GI, please contact your reseller to order it. Configuration Manual Configuration Note: D-Link recommends manually configuring the device before mounting it. The management computer, DHCP server and DWL-8720AP must be in the same subnet. Use the following method to access the web user interface: Connecting through Ethernet 1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the DWL-8720AP to the management computer, or to the switch or router the management computer is connected to. 2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address 10.90.90.91 and press Enter. DWL-8720AP Quick Installation Guide 3 ENGLISH 3. Log in to the administration user interface. The default login information is Username: admin Password: admin 4. You can now assign a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server on your network to assign network information to the DWL-8720AP. The DHCP client on the DWL-8720AP is enabled by default. Mounting GlandSealing NutSealing Figure 4: LAN Port Waterproof Enclosure 1. Connect an Ethernet Cable to the LAN (PoE) port on the DWL-8720AP. Use the LAN port waterproof enclosures to seal the ports. Pole Mounting Figure 5: Attaching the Mounting Base 1. Secure the mount base to the pole using the U-bolt and the four included nut fasteners. Figure 6: Mounting the Device 2. Align and attach the DWL-8720AP to the mounting base using the four included screws and washers. Wall Mounting Figure 7: Attaching the Mounting Plate 1. Align and attach the DWL-8720AP to the mounting plate using the four included screws and washers. TECHNICAL SUPPORTdlink.com/support 4 DWL-8720AP Quick Installation Guide ENGLISH Figure 8: Mounting the Device 2. Use the mounting plate to mark where to drill the holes in the wall. 3. Drill holes on the markings and place the included anchors into the drilled holes. 4. Align and place the mounting plate on top of the anchors and use the included screws to secure the DWL-8720AP to the wall. Connecting the Grounding Wire Figure 9: Attaching the Grounding Wire 1. A grounding wire is recommended to protect your device from lightning strikes and the buildup of static electricity. Attach the grounding wire to the DWL-8720AP using the included screw. Figure 10: Attaching the Grounding Wire 2. Tighten the grounding wire to the DWL-8720AP until it is securely attached. Figure 11: Attaching the Grounding Wire 3. Attach the other end of the grounding wire to either the wall or the pole mount. Ensure that the wall or the pole mount is connected to an electrical ground.
