6DWL-2700AP User’s ManualD-Link Systems, Inc.Introduction IntroductionThe DWL-2700AP, a reliable high-performance wireless outdoor solution, is an ideal addition to business networks seeking to extend wireless signal coverage. With the DWL-2700AP, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move across the network quickly.The DWL-2700AP is capable of operating in one of 3 different modes to meet your wireless networking needs. The DWL-2700AP can operate as an access point, or in WDS (Wireless Distribution System) with AP, or in WDS mode. Use less wiring, enjoy increased flexibility, save time and money with PoE (Power over Ethernet). With PoE, the DWL-2700AP 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 DWL-2700AP provides data transfers at up to 54Mbps* when used with other D-Link Air Premier® products (The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices).WPA is offered in two flavors: Enterprise (used for corporations), and Personal (used for home users).WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal is directed at home users who do not have the server based equipment required for user authentication. The 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 on both the client and access point, then access is 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. WPA2-Personal is far superior to WPA-Personal, because the encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.
7DWL-2700AP User’s Manual D-Link Systems, Inc.Introduction (continued)IntroductionWPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise is ideal for businesses that have existing security infrastructures in place. 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 either WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise configured, the new client will be challenged with a username and password. If the new client is authorized by the administration, and enters the correct username and password, then access is granted. In a scenario where an employee leaves the company, the network administrator can remove the employee from the authorized list and not have to worry about the network being compromised by a former employee. WPA2-Enterprise is far superior to WPA-Enterprise, because the encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).802.1x: Authentication which is a first line of defense against intrusion. In the authentication process, the Authentication Server verifies the identity of the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access.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 the devices in your network when using the 802.1x feature.

9DWL-2700AP User’s ManualD-Link Systems, Inc.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. D-Link wireless products will allow you to access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings.A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial 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. People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.Low Implementation Costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or office.Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices. The DWL-2700AP saves money by providing multi-functionality, configurable in one of three different modes.Scalability - WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are 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.Wireless Basics Wireless Basics
10DWL-2700AP User’s Manual D-Link Systems, Inc.Wireless Basics (continued) Standards-based TechnologyThe DWL-2700AP Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g standards.The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps* within the 2.4GHz band, 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 transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions. The D-Link DWL-2700AP will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.The DWL-2700AP offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA and WPA2. In addition to its compatibility with 802.11g devices, the DWL-2700AP is compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you have an existing 802.11b network, or a network with a mixture of 802.11g and 802.11b, the devices in that network will be compatible with the DWL-2700AP.*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.Wireless Basics
11DWL-2700AP User’s Manual D-Link Systems, Inc.Wireless Basics (continued) The D-Link Air Premier® DWL-2700AP lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. 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:Installation Considerations1 Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-2700AP and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your DWL-2700AP’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 can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.4 Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.Wireless Basics
