DWL-2000AP
2.4GHz Wireless LAN
Features
802.11g High-Speed Wireless Access Point
TM
The AirPlusXtremeG DWL-2000AP is an enhanced high-performance 802.11g wireless Access Point for use indoors. This device
supports wireless networking speeds of up to 54Mbps, while providing seamless interoperability with all existing 802.11b and
802.11b+ wireless equipment. With high data transfer rates, better security and built-in bridge function, this device is the ideal
wireless solution that offers an upgrade to a fast, new technology while protecting your past investments through interoperability
with your current network equipment.
Up to 54Mbps Speed on 2.4GHz Frequency Band
Compatible With 802.11b and 802.11b+
Built-in Bridge Functions
Easy Migration to Higher Bandwidth
Providing transmission speeds of up to 54Mbps, the
DWL-2000AP compares favorably with 802.11b devices that
offer 11Mbps speed, and with 802.11b+ equipment that gives
22Mbps transmission. This enhanced speed and adoption of
2.4GHz frequency, now available for public use in most
countries, plus the mobility and convenience inherent in a
wireless LAN, make this device an ideal solution for bandwidth
intensive WLAN applications.
802.11g's compatibility with existing wireless LAN standards
means that you do not need to change your entire network to
maintain connectivity. The DWL-2000AP can transmit data at
up to 45Mbps when used with D-Link AirPlusXtremeG and
other 802.11g products. You may sacrifice some of this speed
when you mix 802.11b and 802.11b+ with this device, but you
will not lose the ability to communicate.
The DWL-2000AP can be configured to operate in any one of
the 4 modes: (1) as a wireless access point, (2) a point-to-point
bridge with another access point, (3) a point-to-multi-point
wireless bridge, or (4) a wireless client. With the built-in bridge
functions, the DWL-2000AP gives you the flexibility to
configure the device to meet your environment's requirements.
By maintaining compatibility with your existing wireless
network equipment, the DWL-2000AP lets you upgrade to a
higher speed at the pace you want. The DWL-2000AP and other
802.11g standard devices can be gradually added to your
network, while the rest of your older network remains perfectly
connected.
Wi-Fi Protected Access
802.1x Authentication
Pre-Shared Key
Embedded DHCP Server
Enhanced security is provided with Wi-Fi Protected Access to
authorize and identify users based on a secret key that changes
automatically at a regular interval. Used in conjunction with a
RADIUS server, WPA employs TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets. This
insures much greater security than the standard WEP security, which
requires the keys to be changed manually.
The DWL-2000AP supports 802.1x authentication for protection
against network intrusion. Used in conjunction with a RADIUS
server, this function provides a means to verify the identity of the
client before an access to the network is granted.
This function brings a lot of convenience (when used in conjunction
with other 802.11g products) for users that do not incorporate a
RADIUS server in their networks. Utilizing the Pre Shared Key
mode of WPA, the DWL-2000AP gives each user a new security key
every time he connects to the 802.11g network. Users only need to
input their encryption information once in the configuration menu.
With the DWL-2000AP, each user will automatically receive a new
key every time he connects, the inconvenience of manual WEP key
input is eliminated.
The DWL-2000AP includes an embedded DHCP server that once
enabled will automatically assign IP addresses to wireless clients.
This unique feature makes the DWL-2000AP an ideal solution for
quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network
(WLAN) in offices or other workplaces, and at trade shows and other
special events.
