You know that Wi-Fi connectivity provides cost savings & flexibility for your expanding network. D-Link lets you harness the power & speed of 802.11n Wi-Fi for business networking applications with the Air Premier N Dual Band Po E Access Point (DAP-2553). D-Link, an industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces a solution for businesses seeking to deploy next generation draft 802.11n LANs. D-Link unveils its new Air Premier N Dual Band Po E Access Point (DAP-2553), designed specifically for business-class environments to provide secure & manageable dual band wireless LAN options for network administrators. Versatile Access Point The DAP-2553 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable & extremely robust dual band wireless network. All three dual band antennas are detachable & can provide optimal wireless coverage in either 2.4 G Hz (802.11g & draft 2.0 802.11n) or 5 G Hz (802.11a & draft 2.0 802.11n) bands. For advanced installations, this new high-speed Access Point has integrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (Po E) 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 300 Mbps* in either the 2.4 G Hz or 5 G Hz wireless b&. This, coupled with support for Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM) Quality of Service features, makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, & voice applications. in addition, the DAP-2553 supports load-balancing features to ensure maximum performance by limiting the maximum number of users per Access Point. Security To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2553 provides the latest in wireless security technologies by supporting both Personal & Enterprise versions of WPA & WPA2 (802.11i) with support for RADIUS server backend. To further protect your wireless network, MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN Segmentation, Disable SSID Broadcast, Rogue AP Detection, & Wireless Broadcast Scheduling are also included. The DAP-2553
Includes:: support for up to 4 VLANs 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. Multiple Operation Modes To maximize total return on investment, the DAP-2553 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/ Bridge (No AP Broadcasting) & Wireless Client. With WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple DAP-2553s throughout a facility & configure them to bridge with one another while also providing network access to individual clients. Also included are advanced features such as Load Balancing, which optimizes high network traffic volume, & redundancy for fail-safe wireless connectivity. in addition, the DAP-2553 offers Spanning Tree Protocol support for greater efficiency & to avoid broadcast storms when used in WDS mode. Network Management Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2553 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 & remote computers), & Telnet (bi-directional, eight-bit byte oriented communications facility). For advanced network management, administrators can use the D-Link AP Manager II or D-View SNMPv 3 management module to configure & 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 & conducting regular maintenance checks remotely, eliminating the need to send personnel out to physically verify proper operation. With the selectable dual band functionality, Po E support, extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, & solid security enhancements, the new D-Link Air Premier N Dual Band Po E Access Point (DAP-2553) provides SMB environments with a business-class solution for deploying a wireless network in the workplace. * Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g, 802.11a, & draft 802.11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions & environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials & construction, & network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.
