Cable Requirement
Use a Cat 5 cable with an even sheath.
The Ethernet ports on the DWL-6700AP access
point cannot accept a Cat 5 cable that has an
uneven sheath; the RJ-45 connector on the cable
will not fit properly into the receptacle on the access
point.

PoE power only from the proprietary PoE adapter
(24 V/1 A) included with the DWL-6700AP. The
DWL-6700AP is NOT an 802.3af-compliant device.
Connecting an access point to a Power over
Ethernet (PoE) device that is not approved by
D-Link can damage the equipment.
• Manage the access point from the computer
via the Unied Wireless Switch or Wireless
Controller: Connect the access point to a
Unied Wireless Switch or Wireless Controller.
Connect your computer to the same network
as that of the Unied Wireless Switch or
Wireless Controller.
