DAP-2680
Wireless AC1750 Wave 2 Dual-Band PoE Access Point
Security
To help maintain a secure wireless network, the DAP-2680 supports both
Personal and Enterprise versions of WPA and WPA2 (802.11i), with support
for RADIUS server backend and a built-in internal RADIUS server allowing
users to create their accounts within the device itself. This access point also
includes MAC address ltering, wireless LAN segmentation, SSID broadcast
disable, rogue AP detection, and wireless broadcast scheduling for further
protection of your wireless network. The DAP-2680 includes support for
up to eight VLANs per band, allowing multiple SSIDs to be implemented
and further segment users on the network. It also includes a wireless client
isolation mechanism, which limits direct client-to-client communication.
Additionally, the DAP-2680 supports Network Access Protection (NAP), a
feature of Windows Server® 2008, allowing network administrators to dene
multiple levels of network access based on individual client’s needs.
Multiple Operation Modes
To maximise total return on investment, the DAP-2680 can be congured to
optimise network performance based on any one of its multiple operation
modes: Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS), a WDS with Access
Point, and Wireless Client. With WDS support, network administrators can set
up multiple DAP-2680s throughout a facility and congure them to bridge
with one another, while also providing network access to individual clients.
The DAP-2680 also features advanced features such as load balancing and
redundancy, for fail-safe wireless connectivity.
Network Management
Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-2680,
including Web (HTTP), Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Secure Shell (SSH), and
Telnet. For advanced network management, administrators can use the
D-Link Central Wi-Fi Manager to congure and manage multiple access points
from a single location. In addition, the D-Link Central WiFiManager provides
network administrators with the means of conducting regular maintenance
checks remotely, eliminating the need for sending out personnel to physically
verify proper operation. The DAP-2680 also has a wireless scheduling feature,
turning o wireless functionality when it is not needed to save power. With
simultaneous dual-band functionality, PoE support, extensive manageability,
versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements, the DAP-2680
provides small to medium business and enterprise environments with a
business-class solution for deploying a wireless network.
