DAP-2553/A
Overview
The D-Link DAP-2553 AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access
Point provides businesses with a solution for deploying
802.11n local area networks (LANs). Designed specifically
for business-class environments, such as large or enterprise
corporations, this access point provides secure and
manageable dual band wireless LAN options for network
administrators.
Versatile Access Point
The DAP-2553 AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access
Point allows network administrators to arrange a highly
manageable and extremely robust dual band wireless
network. All three detachable dual band antennas supply
optimal wireless coverage in either 2.4GHz (802.11g and
802.11n) or 5GHz (802.11a and 802.11n) frequency bands.
For advanced installations, this high-speed access
point has 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 DAP-2553 delivers reliable wireless performance
with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300Mbps in
either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless band. Support for the
Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM) Quality of Service feature,
makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voice
applications. Additionally, this access point supports load
balance features to ensure maximum performance.
Security
To help maintain a secure wireless network, the AirPremier
N Dual Band PoE Access Point provides the latest in wireless
security technologies by supporting both Personal and
Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i) with support
for RADIUS server backend. This access point also includes
MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN segmentation, Disable
SSID Broadcast, Rogue AP Detection, and Wireless On/Off
Scheduling to further protect your wireless network.
Additionally, the DAP-2553 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.
The AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point includes
support for up to 4 VLANs for implementing multiple service
set identifiers (SSIDs) to further help segment users on the
network. The DAP-2553 also includes a wireless client isolation
mechanism to limit direct client-to-client communication.
Network Management
Network administrators have multiple options for
managing the AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point
including Web (HTTP), Secure Sockets Later (SSL, which
provides for a secure connection to the Internet), Secure
Shell (SSH, which provides for a secure channel between
local and remote computers), and Telnet (bi-directional,
eightbit byte oriented communications facility). For
advanced network management, administrators can use
the D-Link AP Manager II or D-View management module
to configure and manage multiple access points from a
single location. In addition to a streamlined management
process, the AP Manager II or D-View software provides
network administrators with the means of verifying and
conducting regular maintenance checks without wasting
resources by sending personnel out to physically verify
proper operation. Also available is an AP Array, allowing
the management of a set of network devices as a single
group for easy configuration and deployment. In addition,
the DAP-2553 has a wireless scheduler feature for power
saving.
With the selectable dual band functionality, PoE support,
extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and
solid security enhancements, the new D-Link DAP-2553
AirPremier N Dual Band PoE Access Point provides small
to medium business (SMB) environments with a business-
class solution for deploying a wireless network in the
workplace.
