Features and Benefits
“Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11a and 80211g 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”.
IEEE Standards Support and Wi-Fi Compliance
Support for IEEE
802.11b
and IEEE
802.11g
wireless networking standards.
Provides bandwidth of up to 54Mbps* IEEE
802.11g
(11Mbps* for IEEE
802.11b
)
Wi-Fi certification
Wireless Features
Auto channel selection at startup
Transmit power adjustment
Wireless Distribution System (
WDS
) for connecting multiple access points
wirelessly.
Extends your network with less cabling and provides a seamless
experience for roaming clients.
Quality of Service (
QoS
) for enhanced throughput and better performance of
time-sensitive wireless traffic like Voice over IP (VoIP) and streaming media
Load Balancing
Built-in support for multiple
SSID
s (network names) and multiple
BSSID
s
(basic service set IDs) on the same access point
Neighboring access point detection (also known as “rogue” AP detection)

Security Features
Inhibit SSID Broadcast
Ignore SSID Broadcast
Weak IV avoidance
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (
WEP
)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (
WPA
)
Advanced Encryption Standard (
AES
)
User based access control with local authentication server
Local user database and user life-cycle management
MAC address filtering
Features and Benefits (continued)
Out-of-the-Box Guest Interface
Unique network name (
SSID
) for the Guest interface
Captive portal to guide guests to customized, guest-only Web page
VLANs for Guest and Internal networks when Guest Access is enabled
Clustering and Auto-Management
Automatic setup with Kickstart
Provisioning and auto-configuration of APs through clustering and cluster
rendezvous
The administrator can specify how new access points should be configured
before they are added to the network. When new access points are added,
they can automatically rendezvous with the cluster, and securely download
the correct configuration. The process does not require manual intervention,
but is under the control of the administrator.
Single universal view of clustered access points and cluster configuration
settings
Configuration for all access points in a cluster can be managed from a single
interface. Changes to common parameters are automatically reflected in all
members of the cluster.

Self-managed access points with automatic configuration synchronization
The access points in a cluster periodically check that the cluster
configuration is consistent, and check for the presence and availability of the
other members of the cluster. The administrator can monitor this information
through the user interface.
Enhanced local authentication using 802.1x without additional IT setup
A cluster can maintain a user authentication server and database stored on
the access points. This eliminates the need to install, configure, and maintain
a
RADIUS
infrastructure, and simplifies the administrative task of deploying
a secure wireless network.
Hardware watchdog
Clustering and Auto-Management (continued)
Networking
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (
DHCP
) support for dynamically
assigning network configuration information to systems on the LAN
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) support (for Guest Access)
Maintainability
Status, monitoring, and tracking views of the network including session
monitoring, client associations, transmit/receive statistics, and event log
Link integrity monitoring to continually verify connection to the client,
regardless of network traffic activity levels
Reset configuration option
Firmware upgrade

Before you plug in and boot a new
access point
, review the following sections for a
quick check of required hardware components, software, client configurations, and
compatibility issues. Make sure you have everything you need ready to go for a successful
launch and test of your new (or extended) wireless network.

D-Link DWL-2210AP
The D-Link DWL-2210AP is a wireless communications hub for devices on your network.
It provides continuous, high-speed access between your wireless and Ethernet devices
in
802.11b
and
802.11g
.
The D-Link DWL-2210AP offers an out-of-the-box
Guest Interface
feature that allows
you to configure access points for controlled guest access of the wireless network.
This can be accomplished by using Virtual LANs. (For more information on the Guest
interface, see
Setting up Guest Access
and
A Note About Setting Up Connections for a Guest
Network
.)

The default IP address is used if
you do not use a
Dynamic Host

DHCP
)
server. You can assign a new
static IP address through the
Administration Web pages.
If you have a
DHCP
server on the
network, then an IP address will
be dynamically assigned by the
server at AP startup.
