DWL-8220AP User's Manual Installation Installation (continued) Connecting an AP to an External Antenna Each radio in a DWL-8220AP can use an optional D-Link external antenna. To mount the antenna, see the instructions that come with the antenna. To connect a mounted external antenna to a DWL-8220AP: 1. Attach the exterior antenna cable that is shipped with the antenna to the AP external antenna connector. Both connectors are labeled to indicate the radio type. The AP has standard SMA connectors for attachment to the 802.11b/g antenna and to the 802.11a antenna. Note: The external connectors on the AP are labeled: 11B/G and 11A. Each connector is a standard SMA connector. Make sure you attach the antenna to the correct connector. 2. Attach the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna. Connecting an AP to a DWS-1008 Wireless Switch You can connect an access point directly to a DWS-1008 switch or indirectly to the switch through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. • To connect the AP directly to a DWS-1008 switch, configure the DWS-1008 switch port as an access port and use the following procedure to insert the cable into the switch and verify the link. • To connect the AP indirectly to a DWS-1008 switch though the network, configure a Distributed AP connection on the DWS-1008 switch. You can use the CLI to configure an access port. The image below shows how to insert a CAT5 cable into 10/100 Ethernet port on a DWS-1008 wireless switch. Refer to this figure as you perform the procedure. 1. Insert a CAT5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector into one of the ports on the DWS-1008 wireless switch. For connection to an access point, use a straight-through cable. D-Link Systems, Inc. 27

Connecting an AP to a DWS-1008 Wireless Switch
You can connect an access point directly to a DWS-1008 switch or indirectly to the switch
through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
• To connect the AP directly to a DWS-1008 switch, configure the DWS-1008 switch
port as an access port and use the following procedure to insert the cable into the
switch and verify the link.
• To connect the AP indirectly to a DWS-1008 switch though the network, configure
a Distributed AP connection on the DWS-1008 switch.
You can use the CLI to configure an access port. The image below shows how to insert a
CAT5 cable into 10/100 Ethernet port on a DWS-1008 wireless switch. Refer to this figure as
you perform the procedure.
1.
Insert a CAT5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector into one of the ports on the
DWS-1008 wireless switch. For connection to an access point, use a straight-through cable.
