Overview
The D-Link DAP-2555 AirPremier® N Dual Band,
PoE Access Point powered by CloudCommand™
is the foundation of the next generation of Wi-Fi
networks for business. It leverages a pioneering cloud
architecture that makes deploying, configuring,
securing and managing Access Points an easy task
that can be completed from anywhere. This access
point is designed for small and medium businesses
to bridge the gap between easy-to-use consumer-
grade hardware that scales poorly and prohibitively
expensive and complex enterprise-grade solutions
that are impossibly difficult to manage.

Easy Setup
AirPremier® N Dual Band, PoE Access Points are
simple to set up (individually or in groups) using
a web browser and Internet connection. There
is no need to install software from a CD or to log
into firmware pages. Unlike traditional models,
once these access points connect to your local
area network they automatically retrieve their
configuration settings from the Internet and are
ready for use in minutes. The only task remaining
is their physical installation.

Administer Anywhere
The DAP-2555 gives users the power to administer
the entire Wi-Fi network from anywhere, even if the
APs are distributed across multiple locations. Save
time and resources by making changes to all the
APs simultaneously. Or, you can adjust their settings
individually. Access is as simple as opening a web
browser and logging into your online account at
dlink.cloudcommand.com. Make security changes,

Powerful, Complete Coverage
Thanks to CloudCommand technology, these
inexpensive business-grade access points can be
easily and cost effectively deployed in groups. This
allows for a higher density of access options, ensuring
more complete coverage, well-balanced bandwidth
loads and superior speed. What that delivers the
end user is an overall seamless and high-quality
experience.

Secure Access
In addition to the traditional WPA2 encryption
standard for secure access, the DAP-2555 offers
Individual Device Authentication (IDA) technology.
This technology automatically identifies and secures
each connected device on an individual basis. The
security setup is as simple as sending a text message.
IDA allows for easier management of network
access privileges and gives administrators the ability
to quickly add and remove users without having
to constantly change security keys (a common
challenge that wireless solutions have today).
Administrators can also choose to send individual
network keys to users by email or text message.

Reduce Cost of Ownership
The DAP-2555 provides everything an administrator
needs to remotely manage Wi-Fi networks, reducing
the hassle of maintaining costly on-site IT support.
By leveraging the Internet, the DAP-2555 has made
management of APs through physical controllers an
obsolete concept, reducing network infrastructure
costs and simplifying both deployment and
management. Prepare to save money and resources
by implementing a DAP-2555-based Wi-Fi network in
your business.
