DWL-8610AP
Wireless AC1750 Dual-Band Unied Access Point
Centrally Manage your Wireless Network
When working in conjunction with a D-Link Unied Switch or Wireless
Controller, the DWL-8610AP, like other D-Link Unied Access Points, may be
centrally managed. This allows up to 192 D-Link Unied Access Points to be
deployed and managed easily and eciently. Once the APs are discovered
by the switch/controller, the administrator can push a specic set of
congurations onto them, rather than having to do so one by one. In addition,
RF resource management and security are also managed centrally, thus
allowing the administrator to pre-emptively identify potential deciencies
and weaknesses in the network.
Automatic RF Management Saves Power and Money
When a number of access points are deployed close to each other, interference
may result if proper RF management isn’t implemented. When a DWL-8610AP
senses a neighbour nearby, it will automatically select a non-interfering
channel. This greatly reduces RF interference and will allow the administrator
to deploy APs more densely. To further minimise interference, when a nearby
AP is operating on the same channel, the DWL-8610AP will automatically
lower its transmission power.

When, for whatever reason, the nearby AP is
no longer present, the DWL-8610AP will increase its transmission power to
expand coverage.
Quality of Service for Increased Connectivity
The DWL-8610AP supports 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced
throughput and better performance of time-sensitive trac like VoIP and
streaming DSCP. The DWL-8610AP is WMM-certied, so in the event of
network congestion, time-sensitive trac can be given priority ahead of other
trac. Furthermore, when a number of DWL-8610APs are in close proximity
with each other, an access point will refuse new association requests once its
resources are fully utilised. Instead, the association request will be picked up
by a neighbouring unit. This feature ensures that no single AP is overburdened
while others nearby sit idle.
Security
The
DWL-8610AP
supports the latest standards in Wi-Fi security, including
WEP, WPA, WPA2, and 802.1X. In addition, it supports up to 16 Virtual Access
Points (VAP) per radio, for a total of 32 VAPs, which allows the administrator to
assign dierent access privileges to dierent groups of users. When Station
Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless clients
on the same radio and VAP. Rogue APs in the network can be easily detected,
and the administrator will be immediately notied of any security threat. When
used together with D-Link’s Wireless Controller or Unied Switch, the security
can be enhanced further.
Convenient Installation
With an embedded antenna and a simple housing, the
DWL-8610AP
can be
installed on a wall or ceiling and blends in with most oce environments. Enclosed
in a plenum-rated chassis, the
DWL-8610AP
adheres to strict re regulations for
placement in air passageways. For easy installation, it has integrated 802.3at Power
over Ethernet (PoE) support, allowing installation of this device in areas where
power outlets are not readily available.
