Introduction
Introduction
At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices (maximum wireless signal
rate of up to 108Mbps* in Super G mode), you can work faster and more efficiently,
increasing productivity. With the DWL-3200AP, bandwidth-intensive applications like
graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move
across the network quickly.
The DWL-3200AP is capable of operating in one of 3 different modes to meet your
wireless networking needs. The DWL-3200AP can operate as an access point, or in
access point-to-access point bridging mode, or in access point-to-multipoint bridging
mode.
Use less wiring, enjoy increased flexibility, save time and money with PoE (Power over
Ethernet). With PoE, the DWL-3200AP 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-3200AP provides data transfers at up to 108Mbps in Super G mode when used
with other D-Link AirPremier products. (The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible
with 802.11b devices.)
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors lower actual data throughput rate.
WPA is offered in two flavors:
WPA-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.

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.
WPA-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 witha RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial-in User Service) server, a network adminstrator 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 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.

Wireless Basics
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 access to 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.
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-3200AP saves money by providing
multi-functionality, configurable in one of four 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 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.

Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-3200AP 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* (maximum wireless signal rate of up to
108Mbps* in Super G mode) 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-3200AP will automatically sense the best possible connection
speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.
802.11g offers WPA, the most advanced network security features available today.
*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors lower actual data throughput rate.

Wireless Basics
The D-Link AirPremier DWL-3200AP 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:
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that generate RF noise.
4
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-3200AP and other network
devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your DWL-3200AP’s range from
3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is
minimized.
1
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.
2
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.
