D-Link DWL-8200AP User Manual

Overview

D-Link, an industry pioneer in wireless networking,

introduces a solution for businesses seeking to deploy

powerful and reliable Wireless LANs. D-Link unveils

its new AirPremier 802.11a/g Managed Dualband

Access Point (DWL-8200AP), designed specifi cally for

business-class environments such as large or enterprise

corporations, to provide secure and manageable dualband

wireless LAN options for network administrators.

Versatile Access Point

The AirPremier 802.11a/g Wireless Managed Dualband

Access Point allows network administrators to deploy a

highly manageable and extremely robust dualband wireless

network. Both dualband antennas are detachable and can

provide optimal wireless coverage in 802.11a, 802.11g, and

802.11b bands. Enclosed in a plenum-rated metal chassis,

the AirPremier 802.11a/g Wireless Managed Dualband

Access Point adheres to strict fi re codes for placement

in air passageways. For advanced installations, this

new high-speed Access Point has an integrated 802.3af

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing installation of

this device in areas where power outlets are not readily

available.

Enhanced Performance

The AirPremier 802.11a/g Wireless Managed Dualband

Access Point delivers reliable wireless performance with

maximum wireless signal rates of up to 54Mbps

in both

bands simultaneously. With dualband connectivity, two

networks are created running at full bandwidth speeds,

offering a signifi cant increase in total network capacity.

Network Administrators also have the option to increase

the wireless signal rate up to 108Mbps

using D-Link 108G

technology, while remaining backwards compatible with

the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11b standards. This,

coupled with support for Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM) and

Quality of Service (QoS) features, makes the ideal access

point for audio, video, and voice applications.

Security

To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DWL-8200AP

provides the latest in wireless security technologies by

supporting both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA

and WPA2 (802.11i) with RADIUS. To further protect your

wireless network, MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN

segmentation, Disable SSID Broadcast, and Rogue AP

Detection are also included.

The DWL-8200AP includes support for up to 16 VLANs

for implementing multiple SSIDs to further help segment

users on the network. It also includes a wireless client

isolation mechanism, which limits direct client-to-client

communication.

Multiple Operation Modes

To maximize total return on investment, the DWL-8200AP

can be confi gured to optimize network performance

based on any one of its multiple operation modes: Access

Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with Access

Point, and WDS/Bridge (No AP Broadcasting). With

WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple

DWL-8200APs throughout the facility and confi gure them

to bridge with one another on one band and provide

network access on the other. Also included are advanced

features such as load balancing, which optimizes high

network traffi c volume, and redundancy for fail-safe

wireless connectivity. Additionally, the DWL-8200AP offers

Spanning Tree Protocol support for greater effi ciency and

to avoid broadcast storms when used in WDS mode.
