Introduction

The D-Link AirPremier DWL-1000AP+ Wireless Access Point is an 802.1x

high-performance wireless access point. With a second level of security that is

not offered with other conventional 802.11 standards-compatible Access Points,

the DWL-1000AP+ ensures a more secure wireless network than ever before.

In addition to WEP encryption, the DWL-1000AP+ offers an Authentication

capability when used with 802.1x compatible devices. This extra layer of

protection will ensure a safer and more secure wireless network than has

previously been available.

Outstanding features of the DWL-1000AP+ include Backup AP Function,

Load-Balancing, and Dynamic Channel Selection Function. Please see

the Features and Beneﬁts section in this manual for further details on these

special features.

Speed is another unique feature of the DWL-1000AP+. Unlike most access

points, the DWL-1000AP+ is capable of data transfer speeds of up to 22 Mbps*

(compared to the standard 11 Mbps) when used with D-Link AirPlus products

such as the DWL-520+ Wireless PCI Adapter and DWL-650+ Wireless Cardbus

Adapter.

After completing the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide (included in

your package) you will have the ability to share information and resources, such

as ﬁles and printers, and enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.

The DWL-1000AP+ is compatible with most popular operating systems, including

Macintosh, Linux and Windows, and in conjunction with a radius server, can be

integrated into a large enterprise network. This Manual is designed to help you

connect the Access Point and D-Link Adapters into a network in Infrastructure

mode. Please take a look at the Getting Started section in this manual to see

an example of an Infrastructure network using the DWL-1000AP+.

This manual provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its

application as it relates to networking.
