D-Link Wireless 108G Exterior Access Point

With up to fteen times the speed of previous wireless devices (maximum wireless signal rate of

up to 108Mbps* in Super G mode), the DAP-3220 increases productivity by allowing you to work

faster and more efciently. With the DAP-3220, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or

multimedia will benet signicantly because large les are now able to move across the network

quickly.

The DAP-3220 is capable of operating in one of 4 different wireless networking modes; access

point, WDS (Wireless Distribution System) with AP, WDS or Wireless Client mode.

Use less wiring, enjoy increased exibility, save time and money with PoE (Power over Ethernet).

With PoE, the DAP-3220 shares power and data over the CAT5 cable, making the setup of your

network less expensive and more convenient.

An ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local area network (WLAN) in

ofces or other workplaces, trade shows and special events, and special events for providing data

transfersatratesofuptheDAP-3220 provides data transfers at up to 108Mbps in Super G mode

when used with other D-Link Wireless 108G products. (The 802.11g standard is backwards

compatible with 802.11b devices.)

Introduction

*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specications. Actual data throughput may vary. Network

conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trafc, building materials and construction, and network overhead

can lower actual data throughout rate.

WPA is offered in two avors: Enterprise (used for corporations) and Personal (used for home

users).

WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal are directed towards home users who do not have the

server-based equipment required for user authentication. The method of authentication is similar

to WEP because you dene a “Pre-Shared Key” on the wireless router/AP. Once the pre-shared

key is conrmed and satised at both the client and access point, access is then granted. The

encryption method used is referred to as the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which offers

per-packet dynamic hashing. It also includes an integrity checking feature which ensures that the

packets were not tampered with during wireless transmission. The abilities of WPA2-Personal

exceedWPA-Personal becausetheencryptionofdataisupgradedwiththeAdvancedEncryption

Standard (AES).

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is available through the Windows®XP operating

system. You will need to use the same type of EAP protocol on all devices in your network when

using the 802.1x feature.

WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise are ideal for businesses that already have existing

security infrastructures established. Management and security implementation can now be

centralized on a server participating on the network. Utilizing 802.1x with a RADIUS (Remote

Authentication Dial-in User Service) server, a network administrator can dene a list of authorized

users who can access the wireless LAN. When attempting to access a wireless LAN with WPA-

Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise congured, the new client will be requested to enter a username

with a password.. If the new client is authorized by the administration, and enters the correct

usernameand password, thenaccess is then granted. In the case where an employee leaves the

company,thenetwork administratorisable toremove the previousemployeefrom theauthorized

list to avoid compromising the network. WPA2-Enterprise is far superior to WPA-Enterprise

because the encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide high-speed wireless

connectivity that is easy to use within your home, business or public access wireless networks.

D-Link wireless products provides you with access to the data you want, whenever and wherever

you want it. Enjoy the freedom that wireless networking can bring to you.

WLAN use is not only increasing in both home and ofce environments, but in public areas as well,

such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are

allowing people to work and communicate more efciently. Increased mobility and the absence

of cabling and other types of xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial to many users.

Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as

Ethernet adapter cards, allowing wireless users to use the same applications as those used on

a wired network.

People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:

Mobility - productivity increases when people can have access to data in any location within

the operating range of their WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can

signicantly improve the efciency of a worker.

Low implementation costs -WLANsareeasytosetup,manage,changeandrelocate.Networks

that frequently change can benet from WLAN's ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in

locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.

Installation and network expansion - by avoiding the complications of troublesome cables,

a WLAN system can be fast and easy during installation, especially since it can eliminate the

need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology provides more versatility by

extending the network beyond the home or ofce.

Inexpensive solution - wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional

Ethernetnetworkdevices.TheDAP-3220savesmoneybyprovidinguserswithmulti-functionality

congurable in four different modes.

Scalability - Congurations can be easily changed and range from Peer-to-Peer networks,

suitable for a small number of users to larger Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds

or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.

DAP-3220 User’s Manual

D-Link Wireless 108G Exterior Access Point

Standards-Based Technology

The DAP-3220 Exterior Access Point utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g standards.

The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the maximum

wireless signal rate up to 54Mbps*, and 108Mbps* in Super G mode within the 2.4GHz band,

utilizing OFDM technology.

This means that in most environments - within the specied range of this device - you will be able

to transfer large les quickly, or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without

noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio

wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by

splittingtheradio signalinto multiple smallersub-signalsthat are thensimultaneouslytransmitted

at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference)

in signal transmissions.

The D-Link DAP-3220 will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the

greatest possible speed and range.

802.11g offers the most advanced network security features available today, including WPA and

WPA2.

DAP-3220 User’s Manual

D-Link Wireless 108G Exterior Access Point

Wireless Basics

The D-Link DAP-3220 lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually

anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and

location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit

the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio

frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow

these basic guidelines:

Keep your product away - at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters - from electrical devices

or appliances that generate RF noise.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DAP-3220 and other network

devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your DAP-3220’s range

by 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Position your devices so that the number of walls or

ceilings is minimized.

Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick

(0.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At

a 2-degree angle, the wall appears to be over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position

your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling - instead

of at an angle - for better reception.

Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum

studs can have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and

computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open

doorways, and not through other materials.

Installation Considerations

If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling

fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade

dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away

from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even when the

phone is not in use.
