Physical Installation
Physical Installation Steps
This chapter illustrates the physical installation of the DA1101 Wireless Access Point –N.
1. Run a Category 5 cable from the triple-gang or single-gang
electrical box at the intended DA1101 room location to the
POE module located in the structured wiring enclosure.
2. Make sure that the Power Supply is not connected to the
POE module at this time.
3. Pull the Category 5 cable out from the electrical box through
the supplied triple-gang or modified into a single-gang
bracket and attach the bracket to the associated electrical
box with the supplied screws.
4. Terminate the Cat 5 cable with an RJ45 plug and
connect it to the RJ45 jack on the DA1101. The DA1101
is then snapped into the mounting bracket by first
inserting the two tabs on one end into the slots on the
bracket and tilting it until it is flush with the bracket,
where it should snap into place.
5. If this is a triple-gang installation, line the feet on the
triple gang bracket up with the indentions inside the
round cover, and snap that cover in place. There is a
protrusion inside the round cover that allows it only to be
installed in the correct orientation. If this is a single-gang
installation, simply hang the top of the rectangular cover
on the single-gang bracket and tilt the cover to snap it
into place.
6. In the enclosure, terminate the other end of the Cat 5
cable from the DA1101 with an RJ45 plug and connect it
to the POE output RJ45 jack. A Cat 5 jumper is run from
the POE input jack to a local router port.
7. Plug the power supply into the POE module and into an
AC outlet, and refer to the next chapter for software
configuration and operation information.

VLAN
Entries in below table are used to configure VLAN settings. VLANs are created to provide the
segmentation services traditionally provided by routers. VLANs address issues such as scalability,
security, and network management.
Enable VLAN VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) refers to a group of logically
networked devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that
they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when
in fact they are located on different LAN segments. Because VLANs are
based on logical instead of physical connections, it is very flexible for
user/host management.

been made available. Using WDS it is possible to wirelessly
connect DA1101s, and in doing so extend a wired infrastructure to
locations where cabling is not possible or inefficient to implement.
- AP+WDS: It means the device can support WDS and AP Mode
simultaneously.
Default : AP mode
Network Type - - Infrastructure: The wireless LAN serves as a wireless station
(infrastructure). Connected to a PC or a small LAN (no more than
5 PCs), it allows the PC or small LAN to be able to access the
wireless network via the DA1101.
- Ad hoc: The wireless LAN will use the Ad hoc mode to operate.

not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Default : 2347
Beacon Interval The interval of time that this DA1101 broadcast a beacon. Beacon is
used to synchronize the wireless network.
Default : 100
Preamble Type Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during
the wireless communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high
traffic wireless network. “Long Preamble” can provide more reliable
communication.
Default : Long Preamble
- 29 -
IAPP Inter-Access Point Protocol is a recommendation that describes an
optional extension to IEEE 802.11 that provides wireless access-
point communications among multivendor systems.
Default : Enable
