Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The DAP-2360 802.11n AP increases productivity by allowing you to work faster and more efficiently. With the DAP-2360,
bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are now able to move
across the network quickly.
The DAP-2360 is capable of operating in one of four different wireless networking modes: access point, WDS (Wireless Distribution
System) with AP, WDS, or Wireless Client mode.
Use less wiring, enjoy increased flexibility, save time and money with PoE (Power over Ethernet). With PoE, the DAP-2360 shares
power and data over the CAT5 cable, making the setup of your network less expensive and more convenient.
An ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in offices or other workplaces, trade
shows, and special events, the DAP-2360 provides data transfer rates up to 300Mbps. (The 802.11n standard is backwards
compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b devices.)
WPA/WPA2 is offered in two options: Enterprise (used for corporations) and Personal (used for home users).
WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are directed towards home users who do not have the server-based equipment required
for user authentication. This method of authentication is similar to WEP because you define a “Pre-Shared Key” on the wireless
router/AP. Once the pre-shared key is confirmed and satisfied at both the client and access point, access is then granted. The
encryption method used is referred to as the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which offers per-packet dynamic hashing. It
also includes an integrity checking feature which ensures that the packets were not tampered with during wireless transmission.
WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise are ideal for businesses that already have existing security infrastructures established.
D-Link DAP-2360 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
Management and security implementation can now be centralized on a server participating on the network. Utilizing 802.1X
with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server, a network administrator can define a list of authorized
users who can access the wireless LAN. When attempting to access a wireless LAN with WPA-Enterprise configured, the new
client will be requested to enter a username with a password. If the new client is authorized by the administration, and enters
the correct username and password, then access is granted. In the case where an employee leaves the company, the network
administrator is able to remove the previous employee from the authorized list to avoid compromising the network.
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is available through the Windows® XP operating system. You will need to use the same
type of EAP protocol on all devices in your network when using the 802.1X feature.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11n and 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network conditions
and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead can lower actual data
throughout rate.

Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide high-speed wireless connectivity that is easy to use within
your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products provides you with access to the data you
want, whenever and wherever you want it. Enjoy the freedom that wireless networking can bring to you.
WLAN use is not only increasing in both home and office environments, but in public areas as well, such as airports, coffee
shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are allowing people to work and communicate more
efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other types of fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial
to many users.
Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards, allowing
wireless users to use the same applications as those used on a wired network.
People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility - productivity increases when people can have access to data in any location within the operating range of
their WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve the efficiency of a worker.
Low implementation costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change
can benefit from WLAN's ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be
impractical.
Installation and network expansion - by avoiding the complications of troublesome cables, a WLAN system can be fast
and easy during installation, especially since it can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless
technology provides more versatility by extending the network beyond the home or office.
Inexpensive solution - wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices.
The DAP-2360 saves money by providing users with multi-functionality configurable in four different modes.
Scalability - Configurations can be easily changed and range from Peer-to-Peer networks, suitable for a small number
of users to larger Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number
of wireless devices deployed.

Section 2 - Installation
Standards-Based Technology
The DAP-2360 Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n standards.
The IEEE 802.11n standard is an extension of the 802.11b and 802.11g standards that came before it. It increases the maximum
wireless signal rate up to 300Mbps* within the 2.4GHz bands, utilizing OFDM technology.
This means that in most environments - within the specified range of this device - you will be able to transfer large files quickly,
or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting
high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM
works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then simultaneously transmitted at different
frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
The D-Link DAP-2360 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest possible speed and
range.
IEEE 802.11n offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11n and 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building
materials and construction, and network overhead can lower actual data throughout rate.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link AirPremier® N wireless 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 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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on the
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall
or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks),
mirrors, file 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 2.4GHz 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 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not
in use.
