Section2:GettingStarted
TheD‐LinkDWL‐x600APunifiedaccesspoint(UAP)providescontinuous,high‐speedaccessbetweenwireless
devicesandEthernetdevices.Itisanadvanced,standards‐basedsolutionforwirelessnetworkinginbusinesses
ofanysize.TheUAPenableswirelesslocalareanetwork(WLAN)deploymentwhileprovidingstate‐of‐the‐art

wirelessnetworkingfeatures.
TheUAPcanoperateintwomodes:StandaloneModeorManagedMode.InStandaloneMode,theUAPacts
asanindividualaccesspointinthenetwork,andyoumanageitbyusingtheAdministratorWebUserInterface
(UI),command‐lineinterface (CLI),orSNMP.InManagedMode
,theUAPispartoftheD‐LinkUnifiedWiredand
WirelessSystem,andyoumanageitbyusingtheD‐LinkUnifiedWirelessSwitch.IfanAPis inManagedMode,
theAdministratorWebUI,Telnet,SSH,andSNMPservicesaredisabled.
Thisdocumentdescribeshowtoperformthe
setup,management,andmaintenanceoftheUAPinStandalone
Mode.ForinformationaboutconfiguringtheAPinManagedModebyusingtheD‐LinkUnifiedWirelessSwitch,
seetheUserManualfortheswitch.
BeforeyoupoweronanewUAP,reviewthefollowingsectionstocheckrequiredhardwareand
software
components,clientconfigurations,andcompatibilityissues.Makesureyouhaveeverythingyouneedfora
successfullaunchandtestofyourneworextendedwirelessnetwork.
TheDWL‐6600APandDWL‐8600AParedual‐radioaccesspointsandsupporttheIEEE802.11a,802.11b,
802.11g,and802.11nmodes.TheDWL
‐3600APisasingle‐radioaccesspointandsupportstheIEEE802.11b,
IEEE802.11g,and802.11n(2.4GHz)modes.
Thissectioncontainsthefollowingtopics:
• “Administrator ’sComputerRequirements”
• “Wireles sClientRequirements”
• “DynamicandStaticIPAddressingontheAP”
• “InstallingtheUAP”
• “BasicSettings”
• “UsingtheCLItoViewthe
IPAddress”
• “ConfiguringtheEthernetSettings”
• “ConfiguringIEEE802.1XAuthentication”
• “VerifyingtheInstallation”
• “ConfiguringSecurityontheWirelessAccessPoint”
TomanagetheUAPbyusingtheWebinterfaceorbyusingtheCLIthroughTelnetorSSH,theAPneedsanIP
address.IfyouuseVLANsorIEEE802.1X
Authentication(portsecurity)onyournetwork,youmightneedto
configureadditionalsettingsontheAPbeforeitcanconnecttothenetwork.
Note:TheWLANAPisnotdesignedtofunctionasagatewaytotheInternet.ToconnectyourWLAN
tootherLANsortheInternet,youneedagatewaydevice.
