D-Link D DWL-8200AP DWL-8200AP User manual

Overview
D-Link, an industry pioneer in wireless networking,
introduces a solution for businesses seeking to deploy
powerful and reliable Wireless LANs. D-Link unveils
its new AirPremier 802.11a/g Managed Dualband
Access Point (DWL-8200AP), designed specifically for
business-class environments such as large or enterprise
corporations, to provide secure and manageable dualband
wireless LAN options for network administrators.
Versatile Access Point
The AirPremier 802.11a/g Wireless Managed Dualband
Access Point allows network administrators to deploy a
highlymanageableandextremelyrobustdualbandwireless
network. Both dualband antennas are detachable and can
provide optimal wireless coverage in 802.11a, 802.11g, and
802.11b bands. Enclosed in a plenum-rated metal chassis,
the AirPremier 802.11a/g Wireless Managed Dualband
Access Point adheres to strict fire codes for placement
in air passageways. For advanced installations, this
new high-speed Access Point has an integrated 802.3af
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing installation of
this device in areas where power outlets are not readily
available.
Enhanced Performance
The AirPremier 802.11a/g Wireless Managed Dualband
Access Point delivers reliable wireless performance with
maximum wireless signal rates of up to 54Mbps1in both
bands simultaneously. With dualband connectivity, two
networks are created running at full bandwidth speeds,
offering a significant increase in total network capacity.
Network Administrators also have the option to increase
the wireless signal rate up to 108Mbps1using D-Link 108G
technology, while remaining backwards compatible with
the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11b standards. This,
coupled with support for Wi-Fi Multimedia™ (WMM) and
Quality of Service (QoS) features, makes the ideal access
point for audio, video, and voice applications.
Security
Tohelpmaintainasecurewirelessnetwork,theDWL-8200AP
provides the latest in wireless security technologies by
supporting both Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA
and WPA2 (802.11i) with RADIUS. To further protect your
wireless network, MAC Address Filtering, Wireless LAN
segmentation, Disable SSID Broadcast, and Rogue AP
Detection are also included.
The DWL-8200AP includes support for up to 16 VLANs
for implementing multiple SSIDs to further help segment
users on the network. It also includes a wireless client
isolation mechanism, which limits direct client-to-client
communication.
Multiple Operation Modes
To maximize total return on investment, the DWL-8200AP
can be configured to optimize network performance
based on any one of its multiple operation modes: Access
Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with Access
Point, and WDS/Bridge (No AP Broadcasting). With
WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple
DWL-8200APs throughout the facility and configure them
to bridge with one another on one band and provide
network access on the other. Also included are advanced
features such as load balancing, which optimizes high
network traffic volume, and redundancy for fail-safe
wireless connectivity. Additionally, the DWL-8200AP offers
Spanning Tree Protocol support for greater efficiency and
to avoid broadcast storms when used in WDS mode.

Network Management
Network administrators have multiple options for
managing the DWL-8200AP including Web (HTTP),
Secure Sockets Later (SSL, which provides for a secure
connection to the Internet), Secure Shell (SSH, which
provides for a secure channel between local and
remote computers), and Telnet (a bi-directional, eight-
bit byte oriented communications facility). For advanced
network management, administrators can use D-
Link’s AP Manager II or D-View SNMPv3 management
module to configure and manage multiple access points
from a single location. In addition to a streamlined
management process, the AP Manager II or D-View
software provide network administrators with the means
of verifying and conducting regular maintenance checks
without wasting resources by sending personnel out to
physically verify proper operation.
With integrated dualband functionality, PoE support,
extensive manageability, versatile operation modes,
and solid security enhancements, the new D-Link
AirPremier 802.11a/g Managed Dualband Access Point
(DWL-8200AP) provides enterprise environments with a
business-class solution for deploying a wireless network
in the workplace.
