DWL-7700AP/A

Overview

D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking,

introduces a reliable high-performance wireless outdoor

solution—the D-Link AirPremier 802.11a/g Outdoor

AP/Bridge (DWL-7700AP). The dualband AP/Bridge is

capable of delivering maximum wireless signal rates of up

to 54Mbps

in both 802.11a and 802.11g wireless bands in

any outdoor environment – simultaneously.

Extended Wireless Coverage

The AirPremier 802.11a/g Outdoor AP/Bridge is an ideal

addition to businesses seeking to extend dualband wireless

signal coverage over a variety of outdoor scenarios.

Hotspot operators can use this rugged outdoor access

point to support and deliver 802.11a and 802.11g wireless

connectivity to their customers—whether they are out on

the patio or deck, by the swimming pool, on the terrace,

or on the golf course. By offering concurrent dualband

connectivity, the total aggregate bandwidth available on

the network increases.

Another ideal application includes bridging together

networks which are located in separate buildings. With

the 802.11a/g Outdoor AP/Bridge’s dualband capability,

network administrators can bridge the networks on the

802.11a band while simultaneously providing 802.11g

coverage for public wireless access.

Durable Outdoor AP/Bridge

Enclosed in a diecast watertight housing and equipped

with a built-in heater monitored by a temperature sensor,

the 802.11a/g Outdoor AP/Bridge is designed to endure

harsh outdoor conditions. For advanced installations,

this Access Point has an integrated 802.3af Power over

Ethernet (PoE) port that allows you to install the device in

areas where power outlets are not readily available

. Both

antennas are detachable and can be replaced with higher

gain ones for an improved wireless signal.

Multiple Operation Modes

In addition to convenient installation, the AirPremier

802.11a/g Outdoor AP/Bridge can be configured to

operate in any of three modes: Access Point (AP),

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with AP, or WDS

(No AP Broadcasting). The AirPremier 802.11a/g Outdoor

AP/Bridge includes advanced features such as load

balancing that optimizes high network traffic volume and

redundancy for fail-safe wireless connectivity.

Security

When used in any of its operating modes, the 802.11a/g

Outdoor AP/Bridge provides maximum security by

supporting WEP (64/128/152-bit), WPA™, WPA2™, MAC

Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, and Disable

SSID Broadcast ensuring complete network protection.

Network Management

Network administrators can manage all of the 802.11a/g

Outdoor AP/Bridge settings via its Web-based configuration

utility or with Telnet. For advanced network management,

administrators can use the D-Link AP Manager II or the

D-View SNMPv3 management module to configure

multiple access points from a single location.

With its dualband functionality, integrated PoE support,

extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and

solid security enhancements all in one box, the D-Link
