Connecting to the Network
Use the following procedures to connect a DWS-1008 switch to DWL-8220AP access points
or other 10/100 Ethernet devices.
Connecting to a DWL-8220AP or Other 10/100 Ethernet Devices
Note:
The 10/100 Ethernet ports are configured as wired network ports by default. You must
change the port type for locally connected DWL-8220AP access points, and for wired end
stations that use AAA through the DWS-1008 switch to access the network.
For installations in Japan: Provide an earthing connection before you connect the mains plug
to the mains. When disconnecting the earthing connection, make sure to disconnect only
after you pull out the mains plug for the mains.
1. Insert a CAT5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector. The 10/100 Ethernet ports on the
DWS-1008 switch provide automatic MDI/MDX.
2. If the cable is directly attached to a DWL-8220AP access point:
• For a first-time installation, set the port type to activate the link.
• If the port type is already set for an access point, observe the appearance of the AP
LED for the port.
3. If the cable is attached to a wired end station that uses AAA through the switch to access
the network:
• For a first-time installation, set the port type to activate the link.
• If the port type is already set for a wired authentication port, go on to step 4.
4. If the cable is directly attached to a device other than an DWL-8220AP access point:
• Observe the appearance of the Link LED for the port.
• If the Link LED is unlit, check the cable and verify that the device at the other end
of the link is operating.
