Installation

A.

 Connect the power adapter to the receptor at the back panel of the  

DWL-00AP. 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-00AP and the other end of the cable to an Ethernet Broadband 

Router or Switch. 

Note:

 You also have the option of connecting the DWL-00AP directly 

to the computer that will be used for configuration. The LAN LED light 

should illuminate to indicate a proper Ethernet connection. (Note: The 

Ethernet Port on the DWL-00AP is Auto-MDI/MDIX. This allows you 

to use a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable to connect to the 

Ethernet port on the DWL-00AP.)

There are two methods of powering the DWL-00AP. The power adapter 

can plug directly into the unit or plug into the PoE (Power over Ethernet) 

base unit. For directions on using PoE, please refer to page 15. 

It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected 

to a switch for configuring the DWL-2200AP. The default IP address for 

the DWL-00AP 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-2200AP’s IP address for the purpose of configuring the 

AP. 

Please refer to page 13 to statically assign an IP address to your 

computer.
