Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The 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 eiciently. With the DAP-2230, bandwidth-intensive applications like
graphics or multimedia will beneit signiicantly because large iles are now able to move across the network more quickly.
Create a secure wireless network to share photos, iles, 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 oices or other workplaces, hotels, resorts,
trade shows, and special events.
The DAP-2230 features four diferent 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 conigure and manage access points.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11n and 802.11g speciications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network conditions
and environmental factors, including volume of network traic, building materials and construction, and network overhead can lower actual data
throughout rate.

gaming, and real-time audio.
• Compatible with IEEE802.11g Devices - The DAP-2230 is still fully compatible with the 802.11g standards, so it can
connect with existing 802.11g adapters.
• Four diferent operation modes - Capable of operating in one of four diferent operation modes to meet your wireless
networking needs: Access Point, WDS with AP, WDS, and Wireless Client.
• Power over Ethernet - The DAP-2230 supports IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) which enables it to be supplied
with power over an Ethernet cable or IEEE 802.3af PoE switch.
• Comprehensive Web-Interface - Fine tune network settings using the DAP-2230’s robust network-based coniguration
software.
• Central WiFiManager management software compatibility - The real-time display of the network’s topology and
AP’s information makes network coniguration and management of multiple devices quick and simple.
• SNMP for management - The DAP-2230 supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 for better network management. Superior
wireless AP manager software is bundled with the DAP-2230 for network coniguration and irmware upgrade.
Systems administrators can also set up the DAP-2230 easily with the Web-based coniguration utility.
• Convenient Installation - The DAP-2230 features a wall mount in the rear for easy setup on walls.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The 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 diference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative efect 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 (ish
tanks), mirrors, ile 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.

DHCP Server
Dynamic Pool Settings
The DHCP address pool deines the range of the IP addresses that can be assigned to stations on the network. A Dynamic Pool
allows wireless stations to receive an available IP with lease time control. If needed or required for the network, the DAP-2230
is capable of acting as a DHCP server.
Function Dynamic Host Coniguration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses
Enable/ to devices on the network. This protocol simpliies network management and
Disable: allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without
the need to manually assign new IP addresses. Select Enable to allow the
DAP-2230 to function as a DHCP server.
IP Assigned Input the irst IP address available for assignment on your network.
From:
IP Pool Enter the number of IP addresses available for assignment. IP addresses are
Range increments of the IP address speciied in the “IP Assigned From” ield.
(1-254):
Subnet All devices in the network must have the same subnet mask to communicate.
Mask: Enter the submask for the network here.
Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway on the network.
WINS: Specify the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server address for
the wireless network. WINS is a system that determines the IP address of a
network computer that has a dynamically assigned IP address.
DNS: Enter the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server. The DNS
server translates domain names such as www.dlink.com into IP addresses.
Domain Enter the domain name of the network, if applicable. (An example of a
Name: domain name is: www.dlink.com.)
Lease Time : The lease time is the period of time before the DHCP server will assign new
IP addresses. (60-31536000 sec)

Static Pool Setting
A static pool allows speciic IP addresses to be reserved to wireless stations.
Function Dynamic Host Coniguration Protocol (DHCP) assigns IP addresses to wireless
Enable/ devices on the network. This protocol simpliies network management and
Disable: allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without the
need to manually assign IP addresses. Select Enable to allow the DAP-2230
to function as a DHCP server.
Assigned IP: Use the Static Pool Settings to reserve IP addresses to speciic devices. The IP
addresses assigned in the Static Pool list must NOT be in the same IP range
as the Dynamic Pool. After you have assigned a static IP address to a device
via its MAC address, click Save; the device will appear in the Assigned Static
Pool at the bottom of the screen. You can edit or delete the device in this list.

QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) enhances the experience of using a network by prioritizing the traic of diferent applications. A QoS
Rule identiies a speciic message low and assigns a priority to that low. For most applications, the priority classiiers ensure
the right priorities and speciic QoS Rules are not required. QoS supports overlapping rules. If more than one rule matches a
speciic message low, the rule with the highest priority will be used.
QoS Enable this option if you want to allow QoS to prioritize your traic Priority
(Quality of Classiiers.
Service):
HTTP: Allows the access point to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio
and video streams and prioritize them above other traic. Such streams are
frequently used by digital media players.
Automatic: When enabled, this option causes the access point to automatically attempt
to prioritize traic 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 ile transfers, while leaving
interactive traic, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
