Section 1 - Product Overview
Ultimate Performance
The D-Link Wireless PoE Outdoor Access point (DAP-3320) is an 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up
2
to 300 Mbps
, much faster than an 802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 100 Mbps wired Ethernet connection). Create a secure wireless network to share photos, les, music, video, printers, and network storage outside of your normal internal networking environment. Built to withstand harsh environments, the DAP-3320 also excels in connecting separate networks that cannot be joined
physically using traditional medium. The built-in 10dBi sector antenna is designed to deliver high powered performance, ensuring
that wireless coverage will cover even hard to reach locations.
Multiple Operation Modes
The DAP-3320 features seven dierent operation modes, allowing it to adapt to any situation. As a standard wireless access point (AP) the DAP-3320 can connect to a wide range of devices that are 802.11 n/g/b compliant. In wireless distribution system (WDS) mode it can expand current wireless coverage without the need for a wired backbone link. As a wireless client it can connect to an existing AP, and expand the network physically with the built-in 10/100 Ethernet ports.
Total Security
The DAP-3320 supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption and WPA/WPA2 security functions. In addition, it provides MAC Address Filtering to control user access, and the Disable SSID Broadcast function to limit unauthorized access to the internal network. Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-3320, including Web (HTTP) or Secured Web (HTTPS). For advanced network management, administrators can use SNMP v1, v2c, v3 to congure and manage access points.

Installation

First, you will need to congure the DAP-3320 with a computer connected directly to the unit. The following pages explains how to set up the DAP-3320 in order to be properly congured and then tested to work as desired.
The DAP-3320 acts as a central connection point for any device (client) that has a 802.11n or backward-compatible 802.11g wireless network interface and is within range of the AP. Clients must use the same SSID (wireless network name) and channel as the AP in order to connect. If wireless security is enabled on the AP, the client will need to enter a password to connect to the AP. In Access Point mode, multiple clients can connect to the AP at the same time.
STEP 1: Connect an Ethernet Cable to the LAN (PoE) Port on the AP.
The port connection cover can be removed using a a small amount of force so that it pops o. It can be reattached by snapping it back into place.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link Wireless PoE Outdoor Access point 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.
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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 dramatically 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.

Power:
Spanning Tree
Protocol:
Set a Delivery Traffic Indication Message setting between 1 and 255. The default value is 1. DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
This setting determines the power level of the wireless transmission. Transmitting power can be adjusted to eliminate overlapping of wireless area coverage between two access points where interference is a major concern. For example, if wireless coverage is intended for half of the area, then select 50% as the option. Use the drop-down menu to select 100%, 50%, 25%, or 12.5%.
Select Enable or Disable. Enabling this option will help prevent bridge loops and will provide nearby AP’s with the information needed to reliably route the network should one of the other devices fail.
Ack Time Out:
Slot Time:
To effectively optimize throughput over long distance links, enter a value for Acknowledgement Time Out from 1 to 372 microseconds in the 2.4 GHz in the field provided.
This setting is used to specify an amount of time the AP will wait after a collision before retransmitting a packet. Reducing the slot time decreases the overall back-o, which will increase throughput.
