Welcome to D-Link’s line of cloud-managed wireless Access Points. Leverage the product’s online interface to configure, deploy, secure and manage your entire wireless network. Registering Your Access Point Online Step 1: Before you can use the Access Point, you must register it online. Locate the Unit Identification Code ( UIC ) on the yellow label placed on the underside of your Access Point.
Option 1: Deploying Your Access Point with Dynamic IP Addressing If your network automatically assigns IP addresses ( DHCP service ), connect the Access Point directly to the network by plugging an Ethernet cable into the LAN port on its rear panel. Insert the cable’s other end into your existing switch or router with Internet connectivity. No additional configuration is required. Within a few minutes the Access Point will self configure and become ready to use.
Option 2: Deploying Your Access Point without Dynamic IP Addressing If your network does not automatically assign IP addresses ( No DHCP service ), follow these steps to properly configure your Access Point: Configure APs Step 1: Connect the Access Point directly to your computer using an Ethernet cable.
Step 3: Launch a web browser and type either the IP address of the access point (default - 192.168.0.50) or the default device name of the access point (http://dlinkapxxxx where xxxx are the last 4 numbers of the MAC address). The MAC Address is on the lower-left corner of the device label (highlighted below).
Step 5: Once logged in, you will be able to change the Access Point’s IP address and DNS information to match your existing network configuration. Step 6: No additional configuration is required. Within a few minutes the Access Point will self configure and become ready to use. You have the option of later reconfiguring your Access Point to a new static IP address using the CloudCommand™ interface. The DAP-2565 is PoE ( Power over Ethernet ) compliant.
