The DWL-3500AP Wireless Uniﬁed 108G Access Point

is a high-performance wireless access device that

provides up to 108Mbps transmission rates

. Versatile

and powerful, this device can be ﬂexibly deployed as

a stand-alone "ﬁt" wireless access point or as a "thin"

managed access point (AP) manageable from a wireless

switch. Businesses can start with an intelligent DWL-

3500AP that provides many advanced wireless LAN

functions, then migrate to a centrally managed system

anytime later by integrating the same DWL-3500AP to a

D-Link uniﬁed wired/wireless switch.

Intelligent "Fit" Access Point

The DWL-3500AP has everything on-board that enables

network administrators to set up a secure wireless

network and to connect to any Ethernet-compliant

switch and router. Advanced wireless functions that the

DWL-3500AP supports include: WEP data encryption,

WPA/WPA2 security, client MAC address ﬁltering, AP

load balancing, QoS/WMM (Wireless Multimedia), and

Rouge AP Detection. Security conﬁguration settings

can be locally stored in the DWL-3500AP itself. Wireless

connections can easily be expanded by adding more

DWL-3500AP or other 802.11g compliant APs to the site.

Businesses without complicated network requirements

can use the DWL-3500AP to get a wireless network set

up and run without the need for any additional special

hardware.

"Thin" AP Centrally Managed From Uniﬁed Wired/

Wireless Switch

Alternatively, the DWL-3500AP can operate in conjunction

with a D-Link DWS-3024 or DWS-3026 uniﬁed wired/

wireless switch. In this mode, multiple DWL-3500AP

access points can connect directly or indirectly to one

of these switches to provide unparallel security and

wireless mobility for wireless clients. Each DWL-3500AP

access point will be continually tuned by theses switches

to provide optimal RF channels and transmission power

for all mobile clients, giving them the best wireless

signals and uninterrupted wireless connectivity.

Adaptable Wireless

The architecture of most current wireless LAN controllers

require wireless trafﬁc to return to the controller for

centralized processing, providing unnecessary trafﬁc

delay. The DWL-3500AP – when operating with either a

DWS-3024 or DWS-3026 switch – offers administrators

extra options. Depending on the wireless application,

wireless trafﬁc can either be tunneled back to the

switch for better security control, or locally forwarded

at the access point for optimal performance. This device

offers administrators maximized ﬂexibility with options to

tunnel guest trafﬁc to the switch for centralized security

control, and forward VoIP trafﬁc directly from the access

point for optimal performance.

Up to 108Mbps Speed

With transmission speeds of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode)

on both frequency bands

, the DWL-3500AP is an ideal

solution for bandwidth intensive WLAN application.

In a typical working environment with multiple users

accessing the network at the same time, the DWL-

3500AP can operate at double times the throughput of

regular 802.11g wireless LAN equipment.

Sensitive Information Not Stored Locally

When operating in conjunction with a DWS-3024 or

DWS-3026 switch, individual DWL-3500AP access points

do not store any user data locally. The DWS-3024/3026

switch is the hardware that keeps network and user

information. The DWL-3500AP thus can be installed in an

unsecured area, and users do not have to worry about

hackers stealing data directly from the access points.

Self Conﬁguration and Easy Installation

When operating in conjunction with a DWS-3024 or

DWS-3026 switch, the switch automatically conﬁgures

every connected "thin" DWL-3500AP access point, so no

conﬁguration is necessary during installation. If a DWL-

3500AP needs to be replaced, the replacement DWL-

3500AP automatically inherits the same conﬁguration,

making the replacement process as simple as a child's

game.

PoE Facilitates Wireless Deployment

For maximum coverage, the DWL-3500AP can be placed

at out-of-the-way locations such as on a ceiling or a high

wall, where AC outlets are inaccessible and providing

power to these locations is difﬁcult and expensive. The

DWL-3500AP can easily obtain power from a DWS-

3024/3026 switch located as far as 100 meters away

through the existing network cable, doing away with the

need to install separate power wiring. With industry-

standard 802.3af PoE support, this wireless access point

does not even require a PoE injector.

will vary. 108Mbps Turbo speed when operating with other

D-Link 108G or 108AG products. Network conditions and

environmental factors, including volume of network traffic,

building materials and construction, and network overhead

can lower actual data throughput rate.
