D-Link DWL-900AP 22Mbps 802.11b Wireless Access Point Datasheet

2.4 GHz Wireless LAN

DWL-900AP+

Wireless LAN Access Point with 22Mbps enhanced network speed and datachable antenna.

2.4GHz Enhanced Performance Wireless LAN Access Point

TM The D-Link AirPlus DWL-900AP+ is an Access Point that gives 2.4GHz wireless LAN users fast, secure access to an IEEE

802.11b wireless Local Area Network (LAN). With data transfer rates at up to 22Mbps, this Access Point provides twice the speed of other IEEE 802.11b Access Points, while adding a strong 256-bit security scheme for your data traveling on the wireless LAN. Strictly complying to industry standards, the DWL-900AP+ gives you the speed, security and other enhanced features without compromising interoperability with all 802.11b wireless LAN equipment and Ethernet-based networks.

Range Extension

The DWL-900AP+ Access Point connects the wireless LAN nodes (workstations, print servers, etc.) together via a 2.4GHz

IEEE 802.11b wireless interface. It listens to all data traffic on all its interface and maintains a MAC address database. MAC address information is updated dynamically. When necessary, the DWL-

900AP+ the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to match

IP addresses to MAC addresses and stores ARP information in its database as well.

Access Control

Through an Access Control List that contains the MAC address of every wireless device, you can set up filters to prevent unauthorized access to network resources.

Efficiency Improvement

The DWL-900AP+ can discriminate based on the destination address of packets it handles by maintaining a list of disallowed destinations. This helps improve efficiency by eliminating unnecessary transmission of data packets.

Industry-standard Interoperability

The DWL-900AP+ delivers speeds without compromising

TM compatibility. With both WiFi certification and IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN industry standard compliance, the DWL-900AP+ provides you with excellent network interoperability.

Network Security

Security is an issue when data is transmitted without the wires. In the air, transmitted data can be easily intercepted if not well protected by a security scheme. The DWL-900AP+ provides the necessary security, using the enhanced 64/128/256-bit industrystandard WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption protocol.

Data privacy mechanism is based on a shared key algorithm, as described in the wireless LAN standard.

Built-in DHCP Server

DHCP server function is built into this Access Point that automatically assign IP addresses to connected wireless nodes. This eliminates for you the need to install a separate DHCP server on the network.

Ehanced Speed Transmission

At 22Mbps, the DWL-900AP+ delivers high data transfer rate within the industry standard. This speed is double the 11Mbps normally found in other 2.4GHz wireless LAN Access Points.

Detachable Antenna

The DWL-900AP+ is equipped with an SMA reverse detachable dipole antenna with an effective range of 100 meters indoors, or

400 meters outdoors. Where a longer range is required, you can easily remove this antenna and replace it with a higher Gain antenna.
