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.

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 use two Base units together, or two Terminal units together.
In configuring your network, pair one Base unit with one Terminal unit.
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.
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.

Connect another Cat 5 Ethernet cable from the Base Unit “P + DATA
OUT” to the “LAN IN” of the Terminal Unit.

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.
Only use a CAT 5 Ethernet straight-through cable.
