You can power the DWL-8710AP by connecting a PoE injector’s PoE-OUT to the LAN1 port (PoE-Input) on the DWL-8710AP. Then connect the PoE injector’s LAN-IN port to an available Ethernet port on your computer and plug in the injector’s power cord into a power outlet as shown in figure 5. DWL-8710AP Connect LAN1 on the DWL-8710AP to the Ethernet port labeled PoE OUT on the PoE injector Table 3: Top connector description Side Panel PoE Out Connect a computer to the Ethernet port labeled LAN IN on the PoE injector LAN IN Connect the power adapter to the PoE injector and a power outlet

ENGLISH Protecting the Network Ports The DWL-8710AP’s Ethernet ports are equipped with a set of protective sealing caps designed for outdoor use. Please refer to figure 7 for how to correctly attach and secure the Ethernet cables to the DWL-8710AP. Figure 8: Securing the Ethernet cable Mounting the AP to a Wall The DWL-8710AP can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. However, it is recommended that the AP is installed with the antennas positioned vertically in order to achieve optimal performance.

3. Place and lock the flat washer on the cap screws

and attach the mounting plate to the back of the DWL-8710AP using the screws as illustrated in figure 9. Figure 10: Mounting the base plate

4. Mount the DWL-8710AP onto the bolts that

were placed in the wall, then fasten the bolts’ flat washers and nuts to secure the mounting plate with the AP to the wall surface.

1. Use the mounting base plate to mark the location

on the surface where you want to mount the DWL-8710AP. Next, drill a hole of 8 mm wide and 37 mm deep on all 4 markings.

2. Remove the nut and washer from the bolts and

place the bolts in the holes as shown below in figure 8. Figure 11: Securing the AP Figure 9: Preparing the mounting location

2. Depending on the orientation of the pole

you wish to install the AP onto (horizontal or vertical), attach the pole mounting bracket to the mounting base plate accordingly using the screws. Refer to figure 13 for the proper position of the pole mounting bracket for each direction. Figure 12: Attaching the antennas Mounting the AP to a Pole The DWL-8710AP can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. However, it is recommended that the AP is installed with the antennas positioned vertically in order to achieve optimal performance. Figure 14: Attaching the pole mount base

3. Thread the open end of the pole strap through

the two tabs on the pole mounting bracket to secure the strap to the mounting bracket.

1. Place the lock and flat washer on the cap screws

and attach the mounting plate to the back of the DWL-8710AP. Figure 15: Attaching the pole strap Figure 13: Mounting the base plate

5. Remove the protective caps covering the

antenna ports on the AP, if any. Next, connect the 2 antennas marked “2.4 GHz” to the designated

2.4 GHz connectors and the antennas marked

“5 GHz” to the designated 5 GHz connectors on the AP. The DWL-8710AP is now ready to be connected to the network. ENGLISH

4. Choose the location where you want to mount

the AP and place the strap around the pole. Tighten and lock the strap to secure the pole mount bracket with the AP to the pole. Figure 16: AP placement orientation

5. Remove the protective caps covering the

antenna ports on the AP, if any. Next, attach the 2 antennas marked “2.4 GHz” to the designated

2.4 GHz connectors and the 2 antennas marked

“5 GHz” to the designated 5 GHz connectors on the AP. The DWL-8710AP is now ready to be connected to the network. Figure 17: Attaching the antennas

Configuring the Access Point To configure the DWL-8710AP, simply connect the AP directly to a computer and configure it through its Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
