Unied Management
The DWL-2600AP is the entry level Access Point into D-Link’s Unied Wireless
Solutions Range. The DWL-2600AP also incorporates Power over Ethernet (PoE)
making installation simple. D-Link’s Unied Switch/Controller range can easily be
added to any existing network infrastructure and be used to centrally manage and
power the all Unied Access Points on the network.
D-Link’s Unied Wireless Solutions Range makes selecting the right product for
the job easy, the DWC-1000 Wireless Controller has been designed to manage
up to 24 Access Points centrally whilst the DWS-3160 Series of Unied Switches
can be used in more complex network topology for deployments that need more
advanced features or cover wider areas, requiring support for up to 48 Access
Points directly per switch or 192 Access Points in a switch cluster.
Security
The DWL-2600AP helps system administrators secure their business network with
advanced features like 802.1x Authentication and RADIUS support. Additionally,
this AP supports WPA, WPA2 encryption mechanisms. To further segment
the network, up to 16 Virtual Access Points (VAP) can be created allowing the
administrator to assign dierent access privileges to dierent groups of users.
When used together with D-Link’s Wireless Controller or Unied Switches solution,
security can be raised to a new level. Rogue APs in the network may be easily
detected and the administrator immediately notied of any security threat.
Automatic Radio Frequency (RF) Management
Wireless networks with multiple Access Points need to be carefully planned to
avoid interference and channel overlapping. Thanks to the DWL-2600AP advanced
feature it can detect neighbouring Access Points at startup and assess what
is the best available channel for it to transmit on. This signicantly reduces RF
interference and allows the administrator to easily deploy APs more densely. When
being controlled by one of D-Link’s Unied Wireless Switch/Controller solutions,
the DWL-2600AP will automatically adjust its transmission power to avoid channel
overlapping, ensuring that the wireless network always runs at top performance.
Quality of Service
The DWL-2600AP can avoid network congestion by applying Quality of Service
(QoS) on the wireless network, ensuring that time-sensitive trac is given priority
ahead of the rest of trac. Additionally, the Load Balancing mechanism avoids
oversubscription on any Access Point if other APs in the proximity have more
resources available. This feature ensures that no single AP is overburdened while
nearby APs remain idle.
3rd Party Support
The DWL-2600AP supports Aeroscout™, a RFID-based location tracking system.
Aeroscout™ allows tracking of persons, objects and assets by means of RFID tags
which have built-in location capabilities. This is especially useful within healthcare,
manufacturing and security sectors.
