Introduction
About Power Over Ethernet (POE)
The DWL-P100 Power Over Ethernet (POE) Adapters are design to supply
operational power to a Wireless Access Point. These Power Over Ethernet
Adapters give users the ability to mount an Access Point virtually anywhere
in a building no matter where the power outlet is located such as ceilings,
attics, or roofs. It eliminates the need to use an AC-DC power supply at the
Access Point making the setup more convenient. D-Link’s DWL-P100 Power
Over Ethernet 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 theAccess Point.

The D-Link DWL-P100
The DWL-P100 includes two modules:
•Power Over Ethernet / Base Unit
•Power Over Ethernet / Terminal Unit
The Base Power Over Ethernet module plugs into the wall AC outlet and also
connects to the wired hub. This will supply both low-voltage DC power and
data over the existing Category 5 cabling. The Terminal Power Over
Ethernet module separates the DC power and data, and connects conveniently
to the Wireless Access Point.

Hardware Installation
1. Connect the cable from the PC/Hub/Switch to the Base Unit “LAN IN”
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the Base Unit “DC 15V IN.” The green
PWR LED on the Base Unit should light up.
3. Connect the cable from the Base Unit “LAN OUT” to the “LAN IN” of
the Terminal Unit. (max cable length up to 328ft/100m, as defined by
IEEE 802.3)
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Terminal Unit “LAN OUT” to the
LAN port of the Wireless Access Point (AP).
5. Connect the “DC 5V OUT” from the Terminal Unit to the DC 5V input
port of the AP using the power cable provided. The green PWR LED of
the Terminal Unit should light up.
6. Operate the Wireless Access Point normally.
