Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
DAP-3711 is a powerful WIFI Bridge/AP device, which allows WIFI access and video/audio/data transmission device, enables
long-range, fast speed and robust wireless connections. DAP-3711 has the advantages of long-distance, high-throughput, and
between point-to-multi-point performances.
DAP-3711 also support TDMA. TDMA technology solves the problems of hidden-node problem in the 802.11 network. ACK
Time-Out Auto Adjust can automatically detect the distances of the DAP-3711 devices, and thus adjust the wireless parameters
to achieve the best wireless link quality.
The best transmission range and max speed of DAP-3711 is up to 867Mbps
1
, making it suitable for many applications of WIFI
Bridge, especially point-to-multi-point communication.

Section 2 - Installation
Preparation before Installation
Before installing the DAP-3711, 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-
3711 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 rmware version. The radiation pattern and wireless protocol of the DAP-3711 is designed
for high-performance bridge connectivity. Using dierent models or models with mismatched rmware versions may cause problems, such as performance degradation or a
reduction in coverage area.
Installation

Section 2 - Installation
Powering the Access Point
To power the DAP-3711, use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the PoE port on the DAP-3711 to a 24V PoE injector.
Cable Requirements
Use a CAT 5 cable with an even sheath. The Ethernet ports on the DAP-3711 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-3711 in Access Point Mode
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN 2 port on the DAP-3711 to the 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.

5. Follow the Setup Wizard’s instructions to congure the device in Access Point Mode.
Conguring the Second DAP-3711 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 a void an IP address conict, change the IPv4 address so that it is dierent from the rst DAP-3711’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 dropdown 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
Once completed, your network will resemble the following diagram.
Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Long Range 802.11ac Wireless Bridge lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually
anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location
of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending
on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless
range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link access point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall
or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Position your devices so that the number of walls
or ceilings is minimized.

14D-Link DAP-3711 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears
to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the
signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range. Try to
position access points, wireless access points, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways.
Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and
concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems),
your wireless connection may degrade dra-matically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 Hz phone base is as far away
from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.

Section 2 - Installation
Mounting the Device
If you plan to install the DAP-3711 on a pole, orient the front of the access point (the side without the LEDs) toward the intended
coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through the front of the access point but not through the reverse side (where the
bracket is).
Be sure to install the device at a height that ensures that the alignment between the devices is visible and there is no obstruction
in the middle.
Checking the Signal Strength
Before xing the device in place, slowly pan the DAP-3711 from side to side and check the LED indicator to nd the position
where the signal is strongest.
Mounting on a Pole
1.Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the DAP-3711.
2.Place the DAP-3711 against the pole where you want it to be positioned.
3. Wrap the metal mounting ties around the pole and thread them through
the holes on the DAP-37

Shaping:
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) allows wireless
communication to dene a priority limit on the
basis of data type. Time-sensitive data (like video/
audio data) can be assigned a higher priority than
other data. For WMM to be enabled, the wireless
client must support it as well.

The Ping Watchdog sets the DAP-3711 to
continuously ping a user-dened IP address (for
example, the IP address of the AP that the client
is connecting to). If it is unable to ping using
the settings that you entered, the DAP-3711 will
automatically reboot. It is highly recommended
that you enable this feature when using Access
Point / Access Point (WDS) Mode.
Specify the IP address of the target which will be
monitored using ping. If this feature is enabled in
Client/Client (WDS) mode, the IP address should
be the IP address of the AP that the client is
connecting to.
Specify the time interval (in seconds) that the Ping
Watchdog should wait between ping requests.
Specify the initial time delay (in seconds) before
the rst ping request should be sent by the Ping
Watchdog.
Specify the number of ping replies to wait for. If the
designated number of ping replies is not received,
the Ping Watchdog will reboot the device.
