Before You Begin
This installation guide provides basic instructions
for installing the DAP-3712 on your network.
The device should be ensured that systems
employing high gain directional antennas
are used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point
operations. For additional information about
how to use the access point, please see the
User Manual from the D-Link support website.

4. Connect the adjustment kit to the base of
the DAP-3712 by pressing it in until it clicks
and locks in place. Use the adjustment
kit to position the antenna at the desired
angle

Preparation before Installation
Before installing the DAP-3712, check the
distance between the two sides and ensure
that they are within wireless signal range of
each other. It may be helpful to use a Graphic
Information System (GIS) program such as
Google Earth to check for obstructions between
the two sites. If there is an obstruction, it may
help to install the DAP-3712 as high as possible
to prevent the signal from being blocked.
Installation
Assembling the Access Point
1. Assemble the dish of the DAP-3712 by
sliding the two halves together until they
lock in place.
Figure 3: Assembling the Dish
2. Connect the antenna and base through
the hole in the center of the dish.
Figure 4: Attaching the Antenna
3. Thread a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable
through the cover for the PoE port on
the underside of the DAP-3712. Insert the
cable into the PoE port, then attach the
cover to the device.

Note: Ensure that both devices have the same
model number and are running the same
firmware version. The radiation pattern and
wireless protocol of the DAP-3712 is designed
for high-performance bridge connectivity. Using
different models or models with mismatched
firmware versions may cause problems, such
as performance degradation or a reduction in
coverage area.
Powering the Access Point
To power the DAP-3712, use a standard Ethernet
cable to connect the PoE port on the DAP-3712
to a 48 V PoE injector.
Cable Requirements
Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath. The
Ethernet ports 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.
Conguring the First DAP-3712 in
Access Point Mode
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN
port on the DAP-3712 to the PoE Out port
on the PoE injector. Using another cable,
attach the PoE injector to your switch or
management computer.
Figure 8: Connecting the DAP-3712
2. Ensure the computer is configured with
the static IP address 192.168.0.2 and a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
3. Launchawebbrowser.Enter192.168.0.50

4. Log in to the administration user interface.
The default login information is:

5. Follow the Setup Wizard's instructions
to configure the device in Access Point
Mode. Refer to Figure 9: Using the Setup
Wizard for details.

Conguring the Second DAP-3712
in Client Mode
1. Follow steps 1-4 of the instructions above
to power on the device. Launch the Setup
Wizard to configure the device in Client
Mode.
2. T o avoid an IP address conflict, change
the IPv4 address so that it is different
from the first DAP-3712's IP address (for
instance, by changing it to 192.168.0.51,
as in the following screenshot).
Figure 10: Changing the IP Address
3. On step four of the Setup Wizard
(Wireless), select Client from the drop-
down list. Enter the same SSID and key
that you entered when configuring the
first device.

4. To confirm that wireless connectivity
between the two devices is configured
correctly, navigate to the Status page and
check the information under Associated
Stations (shown below).

Installation Recommendations
If you plan to install the DAP-3712 on a pole,
orient the front of the access point toward the
intended coverage area. The radio antenna
transmits through the front of the access point
but not through the reverse side (where the
bracket is).
6Quick Installation Guide
ENGLISH
Be sure to install the device at a height that
ensures that the alignment between the
devices is visible and there is no obstruction
in the middle.
Checking the Signal Strength
Before fixing the device in place, slowly pan the
DAP-3712 from side to side and check the LED
indicator to find the position where the signal
is strongest.
Mounting on a Pole
1. Hold the DAP-3712 against the pole in the
desired position.
Figure 13: Mounting the Device
2. Thread the metal mounting tie through
the hole on the base of the DAP-3712 and
and wrap it around the pole. Fasten the
tie to secure the device against the pole.
