communications. The DAP-3320 also includes additional security features to keep your wireless hotspot connection safe from
unauthorized access.
7D-Link DAP-3320 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
Ultimate Performance
The D-Link Wireless PoE Outdoor Access point (DAP-3320) is an 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up
to 300 Mbps2, much faster than an 802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 100 Mbps wired Ethernet connection). 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-3320 also excels in connecting separate networks that cannot be joined
physically using traditional medium. The built-in 10dBi sector antenna is designed to deliver high powered performance, ensuring
that wireless coverage will cover even hard to reach locations.
Multiple Operation Modes
The DAP-3320 features seven dierent operation modes, allowing it to adapt to any situation. As a standard wireless access
point (AP) the DAP-3320 can connect to a wide range of devices that are 802.11 n/g/b compliant. In wireless distribution system
(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 ports.
Total Security
The DAP-3320 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-3320, 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.
2 Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely
aect wireless signal range.
8D-Link DAP-3320 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DAP-3320 provides an up to 300 Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11n
wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online
gaming, and real-time audio.
• Compatible with IEEE802.11g Devices - The DAP-3320 is still fully compatible with the 802.11g standards, so it can
connect with existing 802.11g adapters.
• Power of Ethernet - The DAP-3320 supports IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) which enables it to be supplied
with Ethernet over a power cable or IEEE 802.3af PoE switch.
• Convenient Installation - The DAP-3320 features a wall/pole mount in the rear for easy setup on poles or walls.
• Weather Resistance - The DAP-3320 is built to withstand harsh environment, and it compliant with IP55 Dust/Water-

Installation
First, you will need to congure the DAP-3320 with a computer connected directly to the unit. The following pages explains
how to set up the DAP-3320 in order to be properly congured and then tested to work as desired.
The DAP-3320 acts as a central connection point for any device (client) that has a 802.11n or backward-compatible 802.11g
wireless network interface and is within range of the AP. Clients must use the same SSID (wireless network name) and channel
as the AP in order to connect. If wireless security is enabled on the AP, the client will need to enter a password to connect to
the AP. In Access Point mode, multiple clients can connect to the AP at the same time.
STEP 1: Connect an Ethernet Cable to the LAN (PoE) Port on the AP.
The port connection cover can be removed using a a small amount of force so that it pops o. It can be reattached by snapping it back into place.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless PoE Outdoor 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 2.4GHz 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 2.4 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.

This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DAP-3320 oers
the following types of security:
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
• WPA-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

49D-Link DAP-3320 User Manual
Section 4 - Security
What is WEP?
WEP, or Wired Equivalent Privacy, is a Wi-Fi security protocol that encrypts transmitted data. WEP is an older protocol that is
not believed to be as eective anymore.
WEP uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. For 64-Bit WEP, the key is an alpha-numeric password
that is 10 hex digits or an ASCII password consisting of 5 text characters. The hex digits are either numbers from 0 to 9 or
letters from A to F. For 128-Bit WEP, the key is an alpha-numeric password that is 26 hex digits or an ASCII password with 13
text characters.
50D-Link DAP-3320 User Manual
Section 4 - Security
Congure WEP
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless access point before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the
added overhead.

51D-Link DAP-3320 User Manual
Section 4 - Security
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy).
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a
hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered
with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP).
WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specic MAC address, which is
relatively simple to be snied out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to
ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password
between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key
entered on your wireless bridge or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more
secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-3320. Read the
following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a dierent
operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)
1. Why can’t I access the web-based conguration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (dlinkapwxyz.local for example, with wxyz the last four digits of the
AP’s MAC Address), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device
has the utility built-in to the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer® 7 and higher
- Mozilla Firefox 12.0 and higher
- Google™ Chrome 20.0 and higher
- Apple Safari 4 and higher
• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a dierent
cable or connect to a dierent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned o, the link light may not be on.
• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software rewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate,
Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP rewall may block access to the conguration pages. Check the help les included
with your rewall software for more information on disabling or conguring it.

• Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button.
Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.
• Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.
• Close your web browser (if open) and open it.
• Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link access point in the address
bar. This should open the login page for your the web management.
• If you still cannot access the conguration, unplug the power to the access point for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about
30 seconds and try accessing the conguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a dierent computer.
2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your access point. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to
the factory defaults.
To reset the access point, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the access point powered on, use a
paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the access point will go through its reboot process.
Wait about 30 seconds to access the access point. The default IP address is 192.168.0.50. When logging in, the username is
Admin and leave the password box empty.

3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive emails when connecting through my access point?
If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail,
we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc).
Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400.
To nd the proper MTU Size, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to. A destination could be
another computer, or a URL.
• Click on Start and then click Run.
• Windows® 95, 98, and Me users type in command (Windows® NT, 2000, and XP users type in cmd) and press Enter
(or click OK).
• Once the window opens, you’ll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:
ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]
Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472
66D-Link DAP-3320 User Manual
Section 6 - Troubleshooting
You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by 2 until you get a fragmented
packet. Take that value and add 28 to the value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example, lets say that 1452 was the
proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network we’re working with (1452+28=1480).
Once you nd your MTU, you can now congure your access point with the proper MTU size.
To change the MTU rate on your access point follow the steps below:
• Open your browser, enter the IP address of your access point (192.168.0.50) and click OK.
• Enter your username (Admin) and password (blank by default). Click OK to enter the web conguration page
for the device.
• Click on Setup and then click Manual Congure.
• To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU eld and click Save Settings to save your settings.
• Test your email. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in increments
of ten.

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless
connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link
wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able
to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of
wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and oce environments, and public areas such as airports, coee shops
and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more eciently.
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop
systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order
to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Access point is a device used to
provide this link.

What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio
frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or oce.
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link
delivers the performance you need at a price you can aord. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network.
How does wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point B. But
wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area
to be able to connect your computer. There are two dierent types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN),
and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has
a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point
as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles
to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and
many other outdoor venues.

Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t use nearly as
much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other
devices that operate on batteries.
Who uses wireless?
Wireless technology has become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home, oce,
business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.

Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or oce. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming
so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public
places is usually called “hotspots”.
Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations
like: Airports, Hotels, Coee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the rst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start.
That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your access point or Access Point
Make sure you place the bridge/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to
place the bridge/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have
a two-story home, you may need a Repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, wireless speakers, and televisions as far away as possible from
the bridge/access point. This would signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate
on same frequency.

Security
Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning
on the WPA or WEP security feature on the access point. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.
There are basically two modes of networking:
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless bridge.
• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network
adapters on each computer, such as two or more wireless network Cardbus adapters.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless bridge. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the
wireless bridge or access point.
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc
mode to communicate.

Check your IP address
After you install your adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e.
wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows® 7/Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.)
At the prompt, type ipcong and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the
default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation,
security settings, and the settings on your router.
Some rewall software programs may block a DHCP
request on newly installed adapters.

Statically Assign an IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:
Step 1
Windows® 7 - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter
Setting.
Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network
Connections.
Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet
as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.
Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X
where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in
use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router
(192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.
