Cable Requirements

Connecting Through a Switch or Router:

Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath. The Ethernet port on the DAP-3712 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.
Con guring the Access Point
To set up and manage the DAP-3712, use one of the following methods.
Connecting Through a Computer
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the DAP-3712 to the management computer.
2. Ensure the computer is in the same subnet as the device. The default subnet is 192.168.0.2/255.
3. Launch a web browser. Enter 192.168.0.50 in the address field of your browser.
4. Log in to the administration user interface. The default login information is:

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the DAP-3712 to the switch or router the management computer is connected to.
2. If the access point did not acquire an IP address from a DHCP server on the network, enter the default IP address of the access point (192.168.0.50) in the address field of your browser. If the access point is automatically assigned an IP address by a DHCP server on your network, enter the IP address assigned to the access point into the web browser.
3. Log in to the administration user interface. The default login information is:
