Section 1 - Product Overview
The D-Link DAP-2230 Wireless N PoE Access Point is an 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up to 300 Mbps* while still maintaining backwards compatibility with slower 802.11g and 802.11b devices. The DAP-2230 increases productivity by allowing you to work faster and more efficiently. With the DAP-2230, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are now able to move across the network more quickly. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, video, printers, and network storage outside of your normal internal networking environment. Built to withstand harsh environments, the DAP-2230 also excels in connecting separate networks that cannot be joined physically using a traditional medium. The built-in omni-directional 3 dBi antenna is designed to deliver high performance, ensuring that wireless coverage will cover even hard to reach locations. The DAP-2230 is an ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in offices or other workplaces, hotels, resorts, trade shows, and special events.
The DAP-2230 features four different operation modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), WDS with AP, and Wireless Client mode, allowing it to adapt to many situations. As a standard wireless Access Point (AP) the DAP-2230 can connect to a wide range of devices that are 802.11 n/g/b compliant. In 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 port.
The DAP-2230 supports 64/128-bitWEP data encryption andWPA/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-2230, including Web (HTTP) or Secured Web (HTTPS). For advanced network management, administrators can use SNMP v1, v2c, v3 to configure and manage access points.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11n and 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead can lower actual data throughout rate.

Section 1 - Product Overview
•Faster Wireless Networking - The DAP-2230 provides an up to 300 Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11n wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.
•Compatible with IEEE802.11g Devices - The DAP-2230 is still fully compatible with the 802.11g standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11g adapters.
•Four different operation modes - Capable of operating in one of four different operation modes to meet your wireless networking needs: Access Point, WDS with AP, WDS, and Wireless Client.
•Power over Ethernet - The DAP-2230 supports IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) which enables it to be supplied with power over an Ethernet cable or IEEE 802.3af PoE switch.
•ComprehensiveWeb-Interface - Fine tune network settings using the DAP-2230’s robust network-based configuration software.
•Central WiFiManager management software compatibility - The real-time display of the network’s topology and AP’s information makes network configuration and management of multiple devices quick and simple.
•SNMP for management - The DAP-2230 supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 for better network management. Superior wireless AP manager software is bundled with the DAP-2230 for network configuration and firmware upgrade. Systems administrators can also set up the DAP-2230 easily with the Web-based configuration utility.
•Convenient Installation - The DAP-2230 features a wall mount in the rear for easy setup on walls.

Section 2 - Installation
If you wish to power the DAP-2230 without a PoE switch, we suggest you use a PoE injector, such as a DPE-101GI.
1.Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the DATA IN port on the PoE injector and the other end into a port on a switch, router, or computer.
2.Connect one end of a different Ethernet cable into the P+DATA OUT port on the PoE injector and the other end into the LAN (PoE) port on the DAP-2230 access point.
3.Connect the supplied power adapter to the POWER IN connector on the PoE Injector.
4.Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.

Section 2 - Installation
The D-Link DAP-2230 Wireless N PoE 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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect 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 (fish tanks), mirrors, file 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 2.4 Ghz 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.
