Introduction
The DWL-2600AP is an entry level indoor Access Point (AP) designed to meet the
business needs of companies of all sizes. Its low prole and sleek design means it can
be deployed in a variety of business environments. The AP can work in standalone
mode for initial deployment and then augmented by adding D-Link’s Unied Switch
solutions like the DWC-1000 Wireless Controller or the advanced DWS-3160 and
DWS-4026 Unied Switch Series to provide centralised wireless LAN management.
High Performance
The DWL-2600AP is based on the 802.11n standard and delivers up to 300 Mbps of
network throughput. With two internal PIFA antennae working at a 2.4 GHz frequency,
this Access Point can homogeneously broadcast on the horizontal plane, making it ideal
for ceiling mounting. For mixed wireless environments where 802.11n, 802.11g and
802.11b clients simultaneously access the network, its RadioProtect™ feature ensures all
users receive an adequate level of service regardless of their technology.
Self-Conguring Cluster
Due to its exible design, the DWL-2600AP can be deployed in a number of ways.
Using D-Link’s Self-Conguring Cluster, a feature that allows system administrators to
automatically replicate the conguration of one Access Point (master AP) across several
others, up to eight Access Point can be congured and grouped into a cluster. This is a
great solution for small businesses or workgroups that want central management but
don’t need the advanced features provided by Wireless Controllers or Unied Switches.
DWL-2600AP Wireless N Unied Access Point
Unied Management
The DWL-2600AP is the entry level Access Point into D-Link’s Unied Wireless
Solutions Range. The DWL-2600AP also incorporates Power over Ethernet (PoE)
making installation simple. D-Link’s Unied Switch/Controller range can easily be
added to any existing network infrastructure and be used to centrally manage and
power the all Unied Access Points on the network.
D-Link’s Unied Wireless Solutions Range makes selecting the right product for
the job easy, the DWC-1000 Wireless Controller has been designed to manage
up to 24 Access Points centrally whilst the DWS-3160 Series of Unied Switches
can be used in more complex network topology for deployments that need more
advanced features or cover wider areas, requiring support for up to 48 Access
Points directly per switch or 192 Access Points in a switch cluster.
If the worst should happen to your network you need the very
best support and fast. Downtime costs your business money.
D-Link Assist maximises your uptime by solving technical
problems quickly and eectively. Our highly trained technicians
are on standby around the clock, ensuring that award-winning
support is only a phone call away.
With a choice of three aordable service oerings covering all
D-Link business products, you can select the package that suits
you best:
Security
The DWL-2600AP helps system administrators secure their business network with
advanced features like 802.1x Authentication and RADIUS support. Additionally,
this AP supports WPA, WPA2 encryption mechanisms. To further segment
the network, up to 16 Virtual Access Points (VAP) can be created allowing the
administrator to assign dierent access privileges to dierent groups of users.
When used together with D-Link’s Wireless Controller or Unied Switches solution,
security can be raised to a new level. Rogue APs in the network may be easily
detected and the administrator immediately notied of any security threat.
Automatic Radio Frequency (RF) Management
Wireless networks with multiple Access Points need to be carefully planned to
avoid interference and channel overlapping. Thanks to the DWL-2600AP advanced
feature it can detect neighbouring Access Points at startup and assess what
is the best available channel for it to transmit on. This signicantly reduces RF
interference and allows the administrator to easily deploy APs more densely. When
being controlled by one of D-Link’s Unied Wireless Switch/Controller solutions,
the DWL-2600AP will automatically adjust its transmission power to avoid channel
overlapping, ensuring that the wireless network always runs at top performance.
Quality of Service
D-Link Assist Gold - for comprehensive 24-hour support
D-Link Assist Gold is perfect for mission-critical environments
where maximum uptime is a high priority. It guarantees four
hour around-the-clock response. Cover applies 24/7 for every
day of the year including holidays.
D-Link Assist Silver - for prompt same-day assistance
D-Link Assist Silver is designed for ‘high availability’ businesses
that require rapid response within regular working hours. It
provides a four hour response service Monday to Friday from
8am to 5pm, excluding holidays.
D-Link Assist Bronze - for guaranteed response on the
next business day
D-Link Assist Bronze is a highly cost-eective support solution
for less critical environments. Response is guaranteed within

excluding holidays.
D-Link Assist can be purchased together with any D-Link
business product. So whether you’re buying switching, wireless,
storage, security or IP Surveillance equipment from D-Link, your
peace of mind is guaranteed. D-Link Assist also oers installation
and conguration services to get your new hardware working
quickly and correctly.
The DWL-2600AP can avoid network congestion by applying Quality of Service
(QoS) on the wireless network, ensuring that time-sensitive trac is given priority
ahead of the rest of trac. Additionally, the Load Balancing mechanism avoids
oversubscription on any Access Point if other APs in the proximity have more
resources available. This feature ensures that no single AP is overburdened while
nearby APs remain idle.
3rd Party Support
The DWL-2600AP supports Aeroscout™, a RFID-based location tracking system.
Aeroscout™ allows tracking of persons, objects and assets by means of RFID tags
which have built-in location capabilities. This is especially useful within healthcare,
manufacturing and security sectors.
