D-Link DWL-2700AP User Manual
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 to access 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.
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.
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-2700AP saves money by providing multi-functionality, configurable in one
of three 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.
