Introduction

The DWL-2700AP covers a large operating distance, providing an 802.11g outdoor WLAN which enables users to access the Internet or an organization’s network.

At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices (up to 108Mbps in Super G mode), you can work faster and more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DWL2700AP, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move across the network quickly.

The D-Link AirPremierTM DWL-2700AP features a die-cast watertight housing and a built-in lightning protector to protect the access point from harsh environmental conditions, including extreme variance in temperature. It also includes Power over Ethernet (POE) and a unique outdoor remote-mounted design for easy installation.

The DWL-2700AP is suitable for manufacturing plants, industrial sites, military bases, universities, hotels, airports and golf courses.

Configurable in five different modes (access point;bridge;multi-point bridge;wireless client and repeater), the DWL-2700AP offers 128-bit encryption; WPA and 802.1X authentication when used with a RADIUS server; MAC address access control; and additional security features.

With a built-in firewall, the DWL-2700AP can operate as a NAT inbound virtual server and provides IP based access control. Denial of Service (DoS) protection is also included with the DWL-2700AP to prevent the wireless network from being hacked. The DWL2700AP is easily managed via a web-based user interface, Telnet, or RS-232 console configuration. The DWL-2700AP can also be managed remotely through SNMP (MIB I & MIB II) support.

System Requirements for Configuration:

Better security with ACL,WPA, AES and 802.1X- The DWL-2700AP can securely connect to wireless clients on the network using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) providing a much higher level of security for your data and communications than has previously been available. In conjunction with a RADIUS server, 802.1X authentication verifies the identity of would be clients.
