D-Link DAP-2660 Wireless AC1200 Concurrent Dual Band PoE

DAP-2660

 

The DAP-2660 Wireless AC1200 Concurrent Dual Band PoE Access Point is designed to supportsmall to medium business or enterprise environments by providing network administratorswith secure and manageable dual-band wireless LAN options, and utilizing the cutting-edgespeed of Wireless AC.

 

The DAP-2660 delivers reliable, high-speed wireless performance using the latest 802.11acstandards with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band, and 900 Mbps over the 5 GHz band1. This, coupled with support for the Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)Quality of Service (QoS) feature, makes it an ideal access point for audio, video, and voiceapplications. When enabled, QoS allows the DAP-2660 to automatically prioritize networktraffic according to the level of interactive streaming, such as HD movies or VoIP. The QoSfeature can be adjusted through the DAP-2660s web GUI using a drop-down menu option toselect customized priority rules. Additionally, the DAP-2660 supports load balancing to ensuremaximum performance by limiting the maximum number of users per access point.

 

 

The DAP-2660 allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremelyrobust simultaneous dual-band wireless network. The DAP-2660 can provide optimal wirelesscoverage over either the 2.4 GHz (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n) or the 5 GHz (802.11a,802.11n, and 802.11ac) band. The DAP-2660 can be ceiling mounted, wall mounted, or placed on a desktop to meet any wireless demands. For advanced installations, the DAP-2660 hasintegrated 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing this device to be installed inareas where power outlets are not readily available.

 

To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2660 supports bothPersonal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i), with support forRADIUS server backend and a built-in internal RADIUS server allowing usersto create their accounts within the device itself. This access point also includesMAC address filtering, wireless LAN segmentation, SSID broadcast disable,rogue AP detection, and wireless broadcast scheduling to further protectyour wireless network. The DAP-2660 includes support for up to eight VLANsper band for implementing multiple SSIDs to further help segment users onthe network. It also includes a wireless client isolation mechanism, whichlimits direct client-to-client communication. Additionally, the DAP-2660supports Network Access Protection (NAP), a feature of Windows Server2008, allowing network administrators to define multiple levels of networkaccess based on individual clients need.

 

 

To maximise total return on investment, the DAP-2660 can be configured to optimise network performance based on any one of its multiple operation modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with Access Point, WDS/Bridge (No AP Broadcasting), and Wireless Client. With WDS support, network administrators can set up multiple DAP-2660s throughout a facility and configure them to bridge with one another while also providing network access to individual clients. The DAP-2660 also features advanced features such as load balancing and redundancy, for fail-safe wireless connectivity.

 

Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2660,including web (HTTP), Secure Socket Layer (SSL, which provides for asecure connection to the Internet), Secure Shell (SSH, which provides fora secure channel between local and remote computers), and Telnet. Foradvanced network management, administrators can use the D-Link CentralWiFiManager to configure and manage multiple access points from a singlelocation. In addition, the D-Link Central WiFiManager provides networkadministrators with the means of conducting regular maintenance checksremotely, eliminating the need for sending out personnel to physically verifyproper operation.

 

The DAP-2660 has a wireless scheduler feature, which turns off wirelessfunctionality when it isnt needed, saving power. With simultaneous dualbandfunctionality,PoEsupport,extensivemanageability,versatileoperationmodes, and solid security enhancements, the DAP-2660 provides small tomedium business and enterprise environments with a business-class solutionfor deploying a wireless network.

 

1Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE standard 802.11 and draft 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range.
