3D-Link DAP-2230 User ManualSection 1 - Product OverviewIntroductionThe D-Link DAP-2230 Wireless N PoE Access Point is an 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up to 300 Mbps* while still maintaining backwards compatibility with slower 802.11g and 802.11b devices. The DAP-2230 increases productivity by allowing you to work faster and more eciently. With the DAP-2230, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benet signicantly because large les are now able to move across the network more quickly. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, les, music, video, printers, and network storage outside of your normal internal networking environment. Built to withstand harsh environments, the DAP-2230 also excels in connecting separate networks that cannot be joined physically using a traditional medium. The built-in omni-directional 3 dBi antenna is designed to deliver high performance, ensuring that wireless coverage will cover even hard to reach locations. The DAP-2230 is an ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in oces or other workplaces, hotels, resorts, trade shows, and special events.The DAP-2230 features four dierent operation modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), WDS with AP, and Wireless Client mode, allowing it to adapt to many situations. As a standard wireless Access Point (AP) the DAP-2230 can connect to a wide range of devices that are 802.11 n/g/b compliant. In WDS mode it can expand current wireless coverage without the need for a wired backbone link. As a wireless client it can connect to an existing AP, and expand the network physically with the built-in 10/100 Ethernet port. The DAP-2230 supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption and WPA/WPA2 security functions. In addition, it provides MAC Address Filtering to control user access, and the Disable SSID Broadcast function to limit unauthorized access to the internal network. Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2230, including Web (HTTP) or Secured Web (HTTPS). For advanced network management, administrators can use SNMP v1, v2c, v3 to congure and manage access points.*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11n and 802.11g specications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead can lower actual data throughout rate.

12D-Link DAP-2230 User ManualSection 2 - InstallationWireless Installation ConsiderationsThe D-Link DAP-2230 Wireless N PoE Access Point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link access point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range. Try to position access points, wireless access points, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.5. If you are using 2.4 Ghz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 Hz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.

65D-Link DAP-2230 User ManualSection 3 - CongurationQoSQuality of Service (QoS) enhances the experience of using a network by prioritizing the trac of dierent applications. A QoS Rule identies a specic message ow and assigns a priority to that ow. For most applications, the priority classiers ensure the right priorities and specic QoS Rules are not required. QoS supports overlapping rules. If more than one rule matches a specic message ow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.QoS (Quality of Service):Enable this option if you want to allow QoS to prioritize your trac Priority Classiers. HTTP: Allows the access point to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio and video streams and prioritize them above other trac. Such streams are frequently used by digital media players.Automatic: When enabled, this option causes the access point to automatically attempt to prioritize trac streams that it does not otherwise recognize, based on the behavior that the streams exhibit. This acts to de-prioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer characteristics, such as le transfers, while leaving interactive trac, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
