Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DAP-3320 Wireless PoE Outdoor 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-3320
increases productivity by allowing you to work faster and more eciently. With the DAP-3320, bandwidth-intensive applications
like graphics or multimedia will benet signicantly because large les are now able to move across the network more quickly.
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 a traditional medium. The built-in omni-directional 2 dBi antenna is designed
to deliver high powered performance, ensuring that wireless coverage will cover even hard to reach locations. The DAP-3320
is an ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in oces or other workplaces,
hotels, resorts, trade shows, and special events.
The DAP-3320 features four dierent 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-3320 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-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 congure and manage access points.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11n and 802.11g specications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network conditions
and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead can lower actual data
throughout rate.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link DAP-3320 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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 2.4 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.
