Access Points
This chapter contains the following sections to help you manage and maintain the D-Link Access Points on your D-Link
Unified Access System network:
• “Resetting the Access Points”
• “Managing Radio Frequency Settings”
• “Upgrading the Access Point Software”

Select the APs you want to reset and click Reset , or click Reset All to reset all of the APs managed by the switch.
Click Refresh to update the screen with the most current information.
The APs might take several minutes to reset and re-establish communication with the switch. While the AP is resetting, the
status changes to failed, and then back to managed once the AP is back online.
Managing Radio Frequency Settings
The radio frequency (RF) broadcast channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio on the access point uses
for transmitting and receiving. The range of available channels for an access point is determined by the IEEE 802.11 mode
(also referred to as band) of the access point.
The DWL-3500AP is a single-band system that operates in 802.11g mode, and the DWL-8500AP is a dual-band system that
operates in 802.11a and 802.11g modes. IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g modes (802.11 b/g) operate in the 2.4 GHz RF
