Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The DAP-3712 is a high-performance 802.11ac 2T2R outdoor-deployable wireless bridge that provides wireless connectivity
to multiple network locations. The DAP-3712 has a built-in 23 dBi dish antenna that can deliver connectivity at a distance of
up to 20 km.
Note: Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network
overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.

Assembling the Access Point
1. Assemble the dish of the DAP-3712 by sliding the two
halves together until they lock in place.
2. Connect the antenna and base through the hole in the
center of the dish.
Installation

3. Thread a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable through the cover
for the PoE port on the underside of the DAP-3712. Insert
the cable into the PoE port, then attach the cover to the
device.
4. Connect the adjustment kit to the base of the DAP-3712
by pressing it in until it clicks and locks in place. Use the
adjustment kit to position the antenna at the desired.

Section 2 - Installation
Preparation before Installation
Before installing the DAP-3712, check the distance between the two sides and ensure that they are within wireless signal
range of each other. It may be helpful to use a Graphic Information System (GIS) program such as Google Earth to check for
obstructions between the two sites. If there is an obstruction, it may help to install the DAP-3712 as high as possible to prevent
the signal from being blocked.
Note: Ensure that both devices have the same model number and are running the same firmware version. The radiation pattern and wireless protocol of
the DAP-3712 is designed for high-performance bridge connectivity. Using different models or models with mismatched firmware versions may cause
problems, such as performance degradation or a reduction in coverage area.
12D-Link DAP-3712 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Powering the Access Point
To power the DAP-3712, use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the PoE port on the DAP-3712 to a 48 V PoE injector.
Cable Requirements
Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath. The Ethernet ports on the DAP-3712 access point cannot accept a CAT 5 cable that has
an uneven sheath; the RJ-45 connector on the cable will not t properly into the receptacle on the access point.
Conguring the First DAP-3712 in Access Point Mode
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port on the
DAP-3712 to the PoE Out port on the PoE injector. Using
another cable, attach the PoE injector to your switch or
management computer.
2. Ensure the computer is congured with the static IP
address 192.168.0.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
3. Launch a web browser. Enter 192.168.0.50 in the
address eld of your browser.

Conguring the Second DAP-3712 in Client Mode
1. Follow steps 1-4 of the instructions above to power on
the device. Launch the Setup Wizard to congure the
device in Client Mode.
2. To avoid an IP address conict, change the IPv4 address
so that it is dierent from the rst DAP-3712’s IP address
(for instance, by changing it to 192.168.0.51, as in the
following screenshot).
3. On step four of the Setup Wizard (Wireless), select Client
from the drop-down list. Enter the same SSID and key
that you entered when conguring the rst device.
4. To conrm that wireless connectivity between the two
devices is congured correctly, navigate to the Status
page and check the information under Associated
Stations (shown below).

Section 2 - Installation
Mounting the Device
If you plan to install the DAP-3712 on a pole, orient the front of the device (the dish and antenna) toward the intended coverage
area.
The antenna only transmits data in the direction it is pointed. Be sure to install the device at a height that ensures that the
alignment between the devices is visible and there are no obstructions in the middle.
Note: The DAP-3712 is designed to receive PoE power from an 802.3at-compliant source. Connecting the DAP-3712 to a PoE device that is not
approved by D-Link can damage the equipment.
Mounting on a Pole
1. Hold the DAP-3712 against the pole in the desired
position.
2. Thread the metal mounting tie through the hole on the
base of the DAP-3712 and wrap it around the pole. Fasten
the tie to secure the device against the pole.

You can select the 802.11 mode which the DAP-
3712 should use. It is suggested to keep this setting
at 802.11ac to provide an optimal transmission
rate.
This can be used to limit the maximum transmission
rate of the device.
The DAP-3712 supports 2T2R Multi-Input-Multi-
Output. In high-interference environments, you
can set this to 1T1R to reduce the noise.
Enabling this function will automatically detect
the distance between the two DAP-3712 units
and optimize the link quality. Enabling this is
recommended. If you disable this function, you
will need to manually enter the distance between
the two units.
To use TDMA, you will need to enable TDMA
mode in both DAP-3712 units. TDMA can prevent
802.11 hidden node issues. When setting up PTMP,
enabling TDMA+ is recommended. The TDMA+
function can only work between two DAP-3712
units.
When TDMA+ is enabled, you can also decide
whether you want to enable JTrans. JTrans can help
prevent an internal wireless attack. The client and

Link Test
The DAP-3712 has a built-in Iperf function. Users can congure the DAP-3712 in Iperf Server Mode. Then the Iperf client can connect to the Iperf
server to verify the speed between the two links. In client mode, you can assign an Iperf server IP address to check the speed between the two links.
Select Client or Server
If you select Iperf Dual, the DAP-3712 will conduct
a bi-directional speed test. Otherwise, it only test
the speed of transmission from the Iperf client to
the Iperf server.
Enter the Iperf server’s IP address.
Enter the number of threads during the test.
Enter how long the speed test should last.
Enter the interval to wait between the tests.

Spectrum Analyzer
You can use the Spectrum Analyzer to scan for the best channels. When performing the scan, the DAP-3712 Wi-Fi may disconnect.
Enter the frequency range to conduct spectrum
analysis on. It will take a few seconds to nish the
scan.
