2. Enter your D-Link Nuclias user name and password.

Connecting through Ethernet

Note: The management PC must be in the same subnet as the DBA-3620P.

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the DBA-3620P to the management PC or to the switch or router the management PC is connected to.
2. Open a web browser and type in the default host name of the DBA-3620P and press Enter. The default host name is DBA-3620P-XXXX, where XXXX represents the last 4 characters of the MAC address listed on the device label located on the bottom of the device.

Installation

Mounting Options

Pole Mount and Wall Mount are the two mounting options for the DBA-3620P.

Cable Requirement

Use a Cat 5 cable with an even sheath. The Ethernet ports on the DBA-3620P access point cannot accept a Cat 5 cable that has an uneven sheath; the RJ-45 connector on the cable will not fit properly into the receptacle on the access point.

Pole Mounting Installation

Installation Steps:

1. Open the bottom panel with a Phillips screwdriver ?.
2. Plug one end of Cat 5 cable into the LAN port on the DBA-3620P, and the other end to the port labeled POE on the PoE Adapter.
3. Choose a gasket (6 mm or 4 mm) to fit the Ethernet cable; if CONSOLE is not in-use, please put on the black gasket.
4. Close the bottom panel with a Phillips screwdriver ?.
5. Attach a grounding wire ⚡. Instructions for the installation of that conductor to building earth by a SKILLED PERSON. (L: 20mm x 1pc (18 AWG), M3.5*5mm*1pcs)
6. Attach access point to a pole using mounting ties ?.
7. Fasten the mounting ties.
