Connecting The DWL-P100

Base Unit

1. Connect the supplied 48V power supply to a wall power outlet.
2. Connect an RJ-45 straight-through cable to your computer or switch (Data In).
3. Connect the P + Data Out port on the Base Unit to the LAN In on the Terminal Unit using a CAT 5 RJ-45 straight-through cable.

Terminal Unit

1. Connect the DC In port of the Terminal Unit to your Ethernet-enabled device’s power using the included power cable.
2. Connect a CAT 5 RJ-45 straight-through cable from the LAN Out port of the Terminal Unit to an Ethernet-enabled device.
3. Connect a CAT 5 RJ-45 straight-through cable from the P + Data Out port on the Base Unit to the LAN In port on the Terminal Unit.

Important Notes

About Power Over Ethernet

The DWL-P100 Power Over Ethernet (POE) Adapters are designed to supply operational power to a Wireless Access Point. These adapters eliminate the need to use an additional AC/DC power supply at the Access Point giving you the ability to mount an Access Point virtually anywhere in a building where power outlets are not available, (for example in, ceilings, attics). D-Link’s DWL-P100 Adapters take advantage of the unused cable pairs within Ethernet Cat 5 cabling. The Base Unit inserts DC voltage into the unused wires therefore allowing the single Category 5 cable to carry both Ethernet data and DC power to an Access Point. The POE Terminal Unit splits the data and DC power apart, which is then supplied to the Access Point.

Connecting The DWL-P100

Terminal Unit

DO NOT use two Base units together, or two Terminal units together. In configuring your network, pair one Base unit with one Terminal unit.

• Insert one end of a Cat 5 Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the “LAN IN” port of the Base Unit. Connect the other end of the cable to your network switch or PC.

Do Not mistake the “LAN IN” port with the “P + DATA OUT” port. Incorrectly plugging the wrong Ethernet cable into the wrong Ethernet port may cause serious damage to your network devices. D-Link will not replace or repair products or reimburse customers for devices that become damaged due to incorrect installation, nor is liable for any loss of business resulting in the incorrect installation of this product.

• Plug one end of the Power Adapter into the “DC 48V IN” Base Unit and the other end into your electrical outlet. The green “PWR” LED on the Base Unit should light up.
• Connect another Cat 5 Ethernet cable from the Base Unit “P + DATA OUT” to the “LAN IN” of the Terminal Unit. Only use a CAT 5 Ethernet straight-through cable.
• Insert one end of the DC 5V Power Cable that is provided into the Terminal Unit, and the other end into the DC 5V of the Wireless Access Point. The green LED of the Terminal Unit should light up.
• Connect the provided Cat 5 Ethernet cable from the Terminal Unit “LAN OUT” to the RJ-45 LAN port of the Wireless Access Point.

At this point, your Wireless Access Point should have power and data, and function normally.
