The DAP-2230 supports IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) which enables it to be supplied

with power over an Ethernet cable or IEEE 802.3af PoE switch.

• Comprehensive Web-Interface -

Fine tune network settings using the DAP-2230’s robust network-based configuration

software.

• Central WiFiManager management software compatibility -

The real-time display of the network’s topology and

AP’s information makes network configuration and management of multiple devices quick and simple.

• SNMP for management -

The DAP-2230 supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 for better network management. Superior

wireless AP manager software is bundled with the DAP-2230 for network configuration and firmware upgrade.

Systems administrators can also set up the DAP-2230 easily with the Web-based configuration utility.
