The D-Link AirPremier DWL-3260AP is a powerful
and reliable wireless access point for business-class
enterprise environments. Designed for indoor installation,
this access point provides advanced functions including
108Mbps Turbo speed, security, Quality of Service
(QoS), and Power over Ethernet (PoE) for network
administrators to deploy a highly manageable and robust
wireless network.

Up to 108Mbps Wireless Speed. The DWL-3260AP delivers

reliable wireless performance with standard 802.11g
wireless throughput rates of up to 54Mbps. *It has the
added capability of reaching maximum wireless signal
rates of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode) powered by D-Link
108G technology. At the same time, the DWL-3260AP
remains fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g
standards.

Power Over Ethernet Support. For maximum coverage, the

DWL-3260AP can be placed at out-of-the-way locations
such as on a ceiling, using a mounting plate. Industry­standard 802.3af PoE support facilitates installation of this
device on high places, where AC outlets are inaccessible
and providing power to these locations is difficult and
expensive. From the ceiling, the DWL-3260AP can obtain
power from a PoE switch located as far as 100 meters
away through the existing network cable, doing away
with the need to install separate power wiring.

Ceiling Mounting. The DWL-3260AP has a round shape

and can be camouflaged as a smoke detector to distract
the attention of network intruders. Its diagnostic LED
can be turned off to make it appear even more like a
smoke detector.

Advanced Wireless Security. Since wireless security

remains a strong concern among businesses, the DWL­3260AP provides the latest wireless security technologies
by supporting both WPA/WPA2-Enterprise and 802.1x to
ensure complete network protection. In addition, the DWL­3260AP currently comes 802.11i-ready to fully support
industrial grade wireless security. Other security features
included in this Access Point are MAC Address Filtering,
Wireless LAN segmentation, Broadcast SSID Disabled,
and support for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data
encryption.

Network Access Protection. Additionally, the DWL-3260AP

supports Network Access Protection (NAP), which is a
feature of Microsoft® Windows Server 2008. NAP allows
network administrators to define multiple levels of network
access based on the needs of individual clients. If a client
is identified outside of their access area, the client will
be automatically brought back to their permitted network
access level.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Support. To maximize

total return on investment, the DWL-3260AP can be
configured to operate as an access point (AP mode), a
point-to-point bridge or a point-to-multipoint bridge (WDS
mode). In the AP mode, the DWL-3260AP uses its built-in
omni-directional antenna for multi-angle coverage. In the
WDS mode, the DWL-3260AP can be mounted on a high
wall and externally fitted with an optional directional
antenna through its SMA connector. Users will disable
the built-in antenna through a slide switch, and the DWL­3260AP will communicate only with wireless bridges,
using the external directional antenna, without allowing
wireless clients or workstations to access them.

Increased Network Flexibility and Efficiency. The

DWL-3260AP supports multiple SSIDs, allowing you to
separate applications based on security and performance
requirements. You can enable encryption and authentication
on one SSID to protect private applications and no security
on another SSID to maximize open connectivity for public
usage. Multiple SSIDs means you can mix and match
the broadcasting of SSIDs. For public Internet access
applications, you can broadcast the SSID to enable user
radio cards to automatically find available access points.
For private applications, you can disable SSID broadcast
to prevent intruders from identifying your network. You can
set the number of users that can associate via a particular
SSID to control usage of particular applications. This can
help provide a somewhat limited form of bandwidth control
for particular applications.

Cost Saving and Mobile Applications. By supporting

multiple SSIDs, the DWL-3260AP allows you to logically
divide your access point into several virtual access points
all within a single hardware platform. Rather than having
two separate WLANs, you can deploy one access point to
support more than one application, such as public Internet
access and internal network control to increase flexibility
and keep costs down.

Advanced Network Management. Network administrators

can manage all the DWL-3260AP’s settings via its web­based configuration utility or with Telnet. For advanced
network management, the administrators can use D-Link’s
AP Manager or D-View SNMP management module to
configure and manage multiple access points from a
single location. In addition to a streamlined management
process, network administrators can also verify and
conduct regular maintenance checks without wasting
resources by sending personnel out to physically verify
proper operation.

* Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors

lower actual data throughput rate. 108Mbps Turbo mode operates with other D-Link 108G or 108AG devices.
