DAP-3690
AirPremier N Concurrent Dual Band PoE Outdoor AP
Overview
D-Link introduces its new AirPremier N Concurrent
Outdoor Dual Band PoE Access Point (DAP-3690).
With its versatile functions, high power design
3
and weather resistant features, DAP-3690 is an
ideal solution for hot spot networks to provide
outdoor users with wireless Internet access. It
can also be installed in a number of environments,
including manufacturing plants, industrial locations,
convention halls, school campuses, airports, golf
courses, marinas, and other outdoor venues.
Versatile Access Point
The DAP-3690 allows network administrators to
deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust
concurrent dual band wireless network. All four
antennas are detachable and can provide optimal
wireless coverage in both 2.4GHz (802.11g and
802.11n) and 5GHz (802.11a and 802.11n) bands. Ideal
for outdoor deployment, this device is built with a
series of weather resistant features, such as a built
in heater, to withstand all elements. For advanced
installation, this new high-speed access point has
integrated 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) support,
allowing installation in areas where power outlets
are not readily available.
Multiple Operation Modes
The DAP-3690 can be configured to optimize network
performance based on any one of its multiple
operation modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution
System (WDS) with Access Point, WDS, and
Wireless Client.
Also included are advanced features such as Load
Balancing, which optimizes high network traffic
volume, and redundancy for fail-safe wireless
connectivity. Additionally, the DAP-3690 offers
Spanning Tree Protocol support for greater efficiency
and to avoid broadcast storms when used in
WDS mode.
Enhanced Performance
The DAP-3690 delivers reliable wireless performance
with with maximum wireless signal rate of up to
300 Mbps in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless
band.

Additionally, support for Wi-Fi Multimedia™
(WMM) Quality of Service (QoS) features, make this
device an ideal access point for audio, video, and
voice applications.
When enabled, QoS allows the DAP-3690 to
automatically prioritize traffic according to the level
of interactive streaming, such as Voice over IP
(VoIP). The QoS feature also provides a drop-down
menu option to customize priority settings. The load
balance feature in this device also ensures maximum
performance by setting a limit for the total number of
users per access point.
Security
To help maintain a secure wireless network, the
DAP-3690 provides the latest in wireless security
technologies by supporting both Personal and
Enterprise versions of WPA™ and WPA2™ (802.11i)
with support for a RADIUS server backend. To
further protect your wireless network, MAC Address
Filtering, Wireless LAN Segmentation, Disable SSID
Broadcast, Rogue AP Detection, and Wireless
Broadcast Scheduling are also included. The
DAP-3690 includes support for up to 16 VLANs per
band to implement 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.
Network Management
Network administrators have multiple options for
securely managing the DAP-3690 including Web
(HTTP), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure Shell
(SSH), and Telnet (bi-directional, eight-bit oriented
communications facility) and an RJ-45 console port.
For advanced network management, administrators
can use the D-Link AP Manager II, AP Array, or D-View
SNMPv3 management module to configure and
manage multiple access points from a single location.
In addition to a streamlined management process,
both AP Manager II and D-View provide network
administrators with the means to verify and conduct
regular maintenance checks remotely, eliminating
the need to send out personnel to physically verify
proper operation.
With simultaneous dual band functionality, PoE
support,
extensive
manageability,
versatile
operation modes, and solid security enhancements,
the D-Link AirPremier N Concurrent Dual Band
Outdoor PoE Access Point (DAP-3690) provides
SMB and enterprise environments with a business-
class solution for deploying a wireless network in
outdoor environment.
