DWL-6000AP
2. Introduction
D-Link, a leader in wireless technology, introduces the first integrated dual radio 2.4GHz/5GHz
wireless access point, as part of the high performance D-Link
Air
Pro series of wireless networking.
The new D-Link
Air
Pro DWL-6000AP Multimode Wireless Access Point is a next generation dual
mode access point that simultaneously serves both 802.11a wireless connectivity at 54 Megabits per
second (Mbps) and 802.11b wireless connectivity at 11Mbps or 22 Mbps
.
Featuring a breakthrough
all-in-one Multimode design that delivers the ultimate investment protection with the promise of a
superior product life cycle and lower total cost of ownership, it is the ideal solution for present and
future Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
In addition to identifying and communicating with other 802.11a and 802.11b wireless devices to
maintain a connection with transparent bridging and roaming capabilities, the D-Link
Air
Pro DWL-
6000AP access point also builds a bridge between wireless and wired network segments with its
integrated 10/100 Ethernet port. The multimode access point will automatically obtain an IP address
and forward additional IP addresses to multiple clients for a seamless Ethernet network connection
and shared Internet access.
At 54Mbps in the 5GHz frequency and up to 22 Mbps in the 2.4GHz frequency range, the D-Link
Air
Pro DWL-6000AP Multimode access point delivers the fastest standards-based wireless technology
in the industry. Based on WiFi and WiFi5 technology, and IEEE 802.11a and 802.11b standards
compliant, this future-proof Multimode wireless access point provides excellent network interoperability.
Armed with powerful management and security capabilities, the D-Link
Air
Pro DWL-6000AP has an
intuitive and secure web-based interface that is powered by an embedded web server. The included
D-Link Device View Software allows for easy monitoring and management of the access point through
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) functionality.
After completing the steps outlined in the
Quick Installation Guide
(included in your package) you will
have the ability to share information and resources, such as files and printers, and enjoy the freedom
that wireless networking delivers.
The DWL-6000AP is compatible with most popular operating systems, including Macintosh, Linux and
Windows, and can be integrated into a large network. This Manual is designed to help you connect
the Access Point with the D-Link
Air
Plus or
Air
Pro 2.4 or 5GHz Wireless Adapters into a network in
Infrastructure mode.
Please take a look at the
Getting Started
section in this manual to see an
example of an Infrastructure network using the DWL-6000AP.
