Once you validate the AP, you can use the switch to manage the AP and to view client associations, status, and statistics.If
you follow the procedures in this chapter, the APs will have the default configuration profile. The default AP Profile settings
are listed in Appendix A "D-Link Unified Access System Default
Caution! The default AP profile does not use a security mechanism for wireless client associations. All wireless
clients will be able to connect to an AP and access your network.
To prevent unauthorized access to the network by wireless clients, you can configure security on the default profile before
you deploy the APs, or you can create additional AP profiles to assign the APs when you add them to the Valid AP database.
For information about how to configure default profile settings, see Chapter , <Link>"Configuring Access Point Settings" on
page 77.
You can use the switch to create multiple AP profiles to assign the APs that you deploy on your network. For each profile,
you can define information such as RF configuration, QoS configuration, and virtual AP (VAP) configuration. For information
about AP profiles, see "AP Profiles, Networks, and the Local Database" on page

After you perform the physical hardware installation, you need to connect the D-Link Unified Switch to the network. The
default IP address of the switch is 10.90.90.90/8, and DHCP is disabled by default. If you want to enable DHCP on the switch
or assign a different static IP address, you must connect to the switch and change the default settings.
You can connect to the switch through Telnet or a Web browser from a host on the 10.0.0.0/8 network, or you can connect
to the switch through the console port (RS-232 DCE). After you connect to the switch, you can provide network information
or enable the DHCP client.
To connect to the switch from a host on the 10.0.0.0 network, enter the default IP address of the switch (10.90.90.90) into
the address field of a Web browser or a Telnet client.
To connect to the console port and provide network information, use the following steps:
1 Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port.
If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or
TeraTerm.
2 Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
- Baud rate: 115,000 bps
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: none
- Stop bit: 1
- Flow control: none
3 Press the return key, and the User: prompt appears.
Enter admin as the user name. There is no default password. Press ENTER at the password prompt if you did not
change the default password.
After a successful login, the screen shows the (switch-prompt)> prompt.
4 At the (switch-prompt)> prompt, enter enable to enter the Privileged EXEC command mode. There is no default
password to enter Privileged EXEC mode. Press ENTER at the password prompt if you did not change the default
