Product Overview

Introduction

D-Link, an industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces a solution for businesses seeking to deploy next generation 802.11ac LANs. D-Link unveils its new DAP-2660, designed specically for environments with high trac areas such as airports, coee shops, shopping centers, sporting venues, and school campuses to provide secure and manageable dual band wireless network 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. 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. In addition to bridging 802.11ac and 802.11b/g/n wireless networks, the DAP-2660 can bridge to wired networks with its integrated Gigabit (10/100/1000Mbps) Ethernet port.

Enhanced Performance

The DAP-2660 delivers reliable wireless performance with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 1200Mbps. This, coupled with support for Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM) Quality of Service features, makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voice applications.

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.

Power Usage

This device is an Energy Related Product (ErP) with High Network Availability (HiNA), and automatically switches to a power-saving Network Standby mode within 1 minute of no packets being transmitted. It can also be turned o through a power switch to save energy when it is not needed.

Network Standby: 3.46 watts Switched O: 0.14 watts

* In Hong Kong, for operation within 5.15 ~ 5.35GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment.

Wireless Security

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 rst security method developed. It is a low level encryption but better than now encryption. WPA is the newest encryption standard and with the advanced WPA2 standard wireless networks have nally reach a point where the security is strong enough to give users the peace of mind when installing wireless networks.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

WEP provides two variations called Open System and Shared Key.

Open System will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured 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 congured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection request from the wireless client.

Shared Key will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge to the client. The client will then again send a conrmation 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.

Encryption:

Use the radio button to disable or enable encryption.

Key Type*:

Key Size:

Key Index (1-4):

Select HEX or ASCII.

Select 64 Bits or 128 Bits.

Select the 1st through the 4th key to be the active key.

Key:

Input up to four keys for encryption. You will select one of these keys in the Key Index drop-down menu.

**Hexadecimal (HEX) digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. *ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code that represents English letters using numbers ranging from 0-127.

D-Link DAP-2660 User Manual

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2)

WPA was created by the Wi-Fi 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).

WPA-EAP requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication. WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a Radius Server on the network.

Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK 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.

WPA Mode:

Cipher Type:

Group Key Update:

Pass Phrase:

When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication type, you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA Only. WPA and WPA2 use dierent algorithms. AUTO (WPA or WPA2) allows you to use both WPA and WPA2.

When you select WPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO, AES, or TKIP from the pull down menu.

Select the interval during which the group key will be valid. The default value of 1800 is recommended.

When you select WPA-Personal, please enter a Pass Phrase in the corresponding eld.

When WPA-Enterprise is selected, you must also select a cipher type from the drop-down menu: Auto, AES, or TKIP.

Indicate the base transfer rate of wireless adapters on the wireless LAN. The AP will adjust the base transfer rate depending on the base rate of the connected device. If there are obstacles or interference, the AP will step down the rate. This option is enabled in Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b mode (for 2.4 GHz) and 802.11a only mode (for 5 GHz). The choices available are Best (Up to 54), 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6 for 5 GHz and Best (Up to 54), 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6, 11, 5.5, 2 or 1 for 2.4 GHz.

DTM Interval (1-15):

Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value in milliseconds. The default (100) is recommended. Setting a higher beacon interval can help to save the power of wireless clients, while setting a lower one can help a wireless client connect to an access point faster.

Select a Delivery Trac Indication Message setting between 1 and 15. 1 is the default setting. DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

Select Enable or Disable. Enabling a short guard interval can increase throughput. However, be aware that it can also increase the error rate in some installations due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency installations.

Select Enable or Disable. Internet Group Management Protocol allows the AP to recognize IGMP queries and reports sent between routers and an IGMP host (wireless STA). When IGMP snooping is enabled, the AP will forward multicast packets to an IGMP host based on IGMP messages passing through the AP.

Adjust the multicast packet data rate here. The multicast rate is supported in AP mode, (2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ) and WDS with AP mode, including Multi-SSIDs

Enable this option to reduce interference from other wireless networks in your area. If the channel width is operating at 40MHz and there is another wireless network’s channel over-lapping and causing interference, the Access Point will automatically change to 20MHz

Select Enable or Disable. This is an option for load balancing. This determines whether to limit the number of users accessing this device. The exact number is entered in the User Limit eld below. This feature allows the user to share the wireless network trac and the client using multiple APs. If this function is enabled and when the number of users exceeds this value, or the network utilization of this AP exceeds the percentage that has been specied, the DAP-2660 will not allow clients to associate with the AP.

Set the maximum amount of users that are allowed access (zero to 64 users) to the device using the specied wireless band. The default setting is 20.
