D-Link DWL-2100AP - AirPlus Xtreme G User manual

D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking,
introduces a performance breakthrough in wireless
connectivity – D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM series
of high-speed devices now capable of delivering transfer
rates up to 15x faster than the standard 802.11b with
the new D-Link 108G. With the new AirPlus Xtreme G
DWL-2100AP Wireless Access Point, D-Link sets
a new standard for wireless access points.
With the D-Link 108G enhancement, the DWL-2100AP
can achieve wireless speeds up to 15x in a pure D-Link
108G environment through the use of new wireless
technologies such as Packet Bursting, Fast Frame,
Compression & Encryption, and Turbo mode.These
technologies enable a throughput high enough to handle
video/audio streaming and future bandwidth-intense
applications. The DWL-2100AP also supports
SNMP v.3 for better network management with the
provided Wireless AP Manager software that manages
network confi guration and fi rmware upgrades. For
Enterprise networks, the DWL-2100AP supports
network administration and real-time network
traffi c monitoring via D-Link’s D-View Network
Management software.
108Mbps1 Wireless Networking
Up to 108Mbps1 with
D-Link 108G Products
Improved Wireless Security
with WPA and 802.1X
Authentication
SNMP Management
Software Included
More Mobility with
WDS and Five
Operational Modes
The DWL-2100AP features WDS (Wireless Distribution
System) that can be confi gured to perform in any one
of fi ve modes: a Wireless Access Point, a Point-to-Point
(PtP) bridge with another DWL-2100AP, a
Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) bridge, a Repeater for
range extension, or as a Wireless Client. The WDS
feature makes the DWL-2100AP an ideal solution
for quickly creating and extending a wireless local
area network (WLAN) in offi ces or other workplaces,
or even at hotspots.
Wireless security is addressed as the DWL-2100AP
uses WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.1X
authentication to provide a higher level of security
for data communication amongst wireless clients.
The DWL-2100AP is also fully compatible with the
IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards. With great
manageability, versatile operation modes, solid
security enhancement, the cost-effective D-Link
AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-2100AP Wireless Access
Point provides the ultra-fast wireless signal rates and
everything else a network professional dreams of.
