Product Overview

Introduction

D-Link, an industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces a solution for businesses seeking to deploy next generation draft 802.11ac LANs. D-Link unveils its new DAP-2660, designed specifically for business-class environments such as large or enterprise corporations to provide secure and manageable dual band wireless LAN options for network administrators.

Versatile Access Point

The DAP-2660 Access Point allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust dual band wireless network. All six antennas are detachable and can provide optimal wireless coverage in either 2.4GHz (802.11g and 802.11n) or 5GHz (802.11ac, 802.11a, and 802.11n) bands. Enclosed in a plenum-rated metal chassis, the DAP-2660 Access Point adheres to strict fire codes for placement in air passageways. For advanced installations, this new high-speed Access Point has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing installation of this device in areas where power outlets are not readily available.

Enhanced Performance

TheDAP-2660deliversreliablewirelessperformancewithmaximumwirelesssignalratesofupto1750Mbps.This,coupledwithsupportforWi-FiMultimedia™ (WMM) Quality of Service features, makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voice applications. Additionally, the DAP-2660 supports load balance features to ensure maximum performance.

Security

To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2660 provides the latest in wireless security technologies by supporting both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i) with support for RADIUS server back end. To further protect your wireless network, MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, Disable SSID Broadcast, Rogue AP Detection, and Wireless Broadcast Scheduling are also included.

The DAP-2660 includes support for up to 16 VLANs for implementing multiple SSIDs to further help segment users on the network. The DAP-2660 also includes a wireless client isolation mechanism, which limits direct client-to-client communication.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11ac (draft), 802.11g, 802.11a, and 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.

D-Link DAP-2660 User Manual

Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Unlike any other networking method wireless networks will broadcast it’s presence for anyone to connect to it. Today, wireless security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable.

There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the first security method developed. It is a low level encryption but better than now encryption.WPA is the newest encryption standard and with the advancedWPA2 standard wireless networks have finally reach a point where the security is strong enough to give users the peace of mind when installing wireless networks.

WEP provides two variations called Open System and Shared Key.

OpenSystem will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one configured on the access point, the access point will return a success message back to the wireless client. If the key does not match the one configured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection request from the wireless client.

Authentication: Select the wireless authentication method to use here. Options to choose from are OpenSystem, SharedKey, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, and 802.1X. After selecting the Open System option, the following parameters will be available for configuration. Open System to communicate the key across the network (WEP).

Re-enter the wireless WEP key in the space provided. This key must be identical to the network key entered previously.

D-Link DAP-2660 User Manual

Access Point Mode (2.4GHz) - Shared Key

Shared Key will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one configured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge to the client.The client will then again send a confirmation of the same key back to the access point where the access point will either return a successful or a denial packet back to the wireless client.

Authentication: Select the wireless authentication method to use here. Options to choose from are OpenSystem, SharedKey, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise,and802.1X.AfterselectingtheSharedKeyoption,thefollowingparameterswillbeavailableforconfiguration.

D-Link DAP-2660 User Manual

Access Point Mode (2.4GHz) - WPA Personal

WPA-Personal (PSK) does not require the user to install a RADIUS server on the network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was created by the WiFi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).

Authentication: Select the wireless authentication method to use here. Options to choose from are OpenSystem, SharedKey, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, and 802.1X. After selecting the WPA-Personal option, the following parameters will be available for configuration.WPA-Personal to secure your network using a password and dynamic key changes. No RADIUS server is required.

Access Point Mode (2.4GHz) - WPA Enterprise

WPA-Enterprise (EAP) requires the user to install a RADIUS server on the network for authentication. Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPAPSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure than WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today. WPA2 is an upgrade of WPA. WPA2 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2 has two variations called WPA2-Personal (PSK) and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) which is the same as found with WPA.

Authentication: Select the wireless authentication method to use here. Options to choose from are OpenSystem, SharedKey, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, and 802.1X. After selecting the WPA-Enterprise option, the following parameters will be available for configuration.
