Datasheet

Additionally, the DAP-2553 supports Network Access Protection (NAP), which is a
feature of Microsoft® Windows Server 2008. NAP allows network administrators to
dene multiple levels of network access based on the needs of individual clients.
If a client is identied outside of their access area, the client will be automatically
brought back to their permitted network access level.
This Access Point includes support for up to 4 VLANs for implementing
multiple service set identiers (SSIDs) to further help segment users
on the network. The DAP-2553 also includes a wireless client isolation
mechanism to limit direct client-to-client communication.
Network Management
Network administrators have multiple options for managing the Wireless N
Dual Band PoE Access Point including Web (HTTP), Secure Sockets Later (SSL,
which provides for a secure connection to the Internet), Secure Shell (SSH, which
provides for a secure channel between local and remote computers), and Telnet
(bi-directional, eightbit byte oriented communications facility). For advanced
network management, administrators can use the D-Link AP Manager II or
D-View management module to congure and manage multiple access points
from a single location. In addition to a streamlined management process, the AP
Manager II or D-View software provides network administrators with the means of
verifying and conducting regular maintenance checks without wasting resources
by sending personnel out to physically verify proper operation. Also available is an
AP Array, allowing the management of a set of network devices as a single group
for easy conguration and deployment. In addition, the DAP-2553 has a wireless
scheduler feature for power saving.
With the selectable dual band functionality, PoE support, extensive manageability,
versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements, the DAP-2553
wireless provides with a solution for deploying a wireless network in the workplace.
Multiple Operation Modes
The DAP-2553 can be congured 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-2553s
throughout a facility and congure them to bridge with one another while also
providing network access to individual clients. Also included are advanced features
such as Spanning Tree Protocol support, which allows greater eciency and avoids
broadcast storms when used in WDS mode.
