Versatile Access Point Functionality The D-Link DAP-2695 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable & extremely robust simultaneous dual-band wireless network. All six antennas on the D-Link DAP-2695 are detachable & can provide optimal wireless coverage over either the 2.4 GHz (802.11b, 802.11g, & 802.11n) or the 5 GHz (802.11a, 802.11n, & 802.11ac) b&. Enclosed in a plenum-rated metal chassis, the D-Link DAP-2695 adheres to strict fire codes for placement in air passageways. For advanced installations, the D-Link DAP-2695 has integrated 802.3at Power over Ethernet (Po E) support, allowing this device to be installed in areas where power outlets are not readily available. Security To help maintain a secure wireless network, the D-Link DAP-2695 supports both Personal & Enterprise versions of WPA & WPA2 (802.11i), with support for RADIUS server backend & a built-in internal RADIUS server allowing users to create their accounts within the device itself. This access point also
Includes:: MAC address filtering, wireless LAN segmentation, SSID broadcast disablerogue AP detection, & wireless broadcast scheduling to further protect your wireless network. The D-Link DAP-2695
Includes:: support for up to eight VLANs per band 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. in addition, the D-Link DAP-2695 supports Network Access Protection (NAP), a feature of Windows Server 2008, allowing network administrators to define multiple levels of network access based on individual client's need. Multiple Operation Modes To maximise total return on investment, the D-Link DAP-2695 can be configured to optimise network performance based on any one of its multiple operation modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with Access Point, WDS/ Bridge (No AP Broadcasting), & Wireless Client. With WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple D-Link DAP-2695s throughout a facility & configure them to bridge with one another while also providing network access to individual clients. The D-Link DAP-2695 also features advanced features such as load balancing & redundancy, for fail-safe wireless connectivity. Network Management Network administrators have multiple options for managing the D-Link DAP-2695, including web (HTTP), Secure Socket Layer (SSL, which provides for a secure connection to the Internet), Secure Shell (SSH, which provides for a secure channel between local & remote computers), & Telnet. For advanced network management, administrators can use the D-Link AP Manager II, or D-View SNMP management module to configure & manage multiple access points from a single location. In addition, the AP Manager II & D-View software provide network administrators with the means of conducting regular maintenance checks remotely, eliminating the need for sending out personnel 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 & deployment. In addition, the D-Link DAP-2695 has a wireless scheduler feature.
